Continental · Flat-rate transfer
LAX → Bel Air.
$178 all-in puts a private Cadillac Escalade ESV at your terminal and gets you to Bel Air in about 29 minutes, because the whole run is the 405 north and then a right turn. The complication is the last half mile. Behind the open stone gates on Sunset is a web of canyon roads, and addresses on Stone Canyon, Bellagio, Chalon and Roscomare are easy to miss after dark. Your chauffeur settles the approach before you land.

Pickup
Your chauffeur is on the arrivals curb at the numbered pillar outside your terminal, where pre-arranged cars are allowed to wait, so there is no shuttle ride to a rideshare lot with your luggage. An early landing or two hours on the tarmac changes neither the price nor the plan, because the flight is watched rather than the clock. Off a long haul, Meet and Greet is the add-on worth taking: your chauffeur meets you at the carousel and the bags are handled before the canyon part of the trip begins.
Drop-off
Most Bel Air drops are private: in the East Gate at Beverly Glen or the West Gate at Bellagio, then a climb to a gate code or a call box your chauffeur already has. Hotel Bel-Air guests go up Stone Canyon Road to the hotel's own arrival court. The same approach off Sunset covers UCLA and Bel-Air Country Club, minutes from the gates and each with a very different driveway.
Why Continental for this route
Canyon addresses defeat navigation apps. House numbers run out of order on Airole and Nimes, driveways go unmarked, and a car that overshoots on a one-lane road above Sunset is reversing for a quarter mile with your bags in the back. We confirm the gate, the code and the actual door before the flight lands, and the ESV takes the Stone Canyon switchbacks without anybody in the third row regretting the ride.
LAX to Bel Air, common questions
How much is a car from LAX to Bel Air?
$178 for the one way in a private Cadillac Escalade ESV, including the chauffeur, flight tracking, and the climb to your actual door rather than a drop at the gate. The figure is locked when you book. There is no surge pricing and no airport charge bolted on at the curb.
How long is the drive from LAX to Bel Air?
22-35 min off peak and 40-65 min in weekday rush. It is a simple run, the 405 north to Sunset and east to the gates, which is exactly why rush hour hurts: when the approach to the Sepulveda Pass slows there is no clever alternative except Sepulveda Boulevard itself. Late-evening arrivals are the quickest Westside run we do.
Can you get through the gate and up to the door?
Yes, and we sort it out before you land. Give us the gate code, the guard's name or the estate manager's number at booking and your chauffeur arrives holding it, so you are not standing at a call box with your luggage. If a driveway is too steep or too tight for a full-size ESV, we say so in advance and agree on where the car will sit.
Does a midnight landing or a holiday weekend change the price?
There is no surge pricing at Continental, and the price you agree to is the price on the receipt. If a late-night window or a same-day request affects the quote, you see it before you confirm, not after the ride. Once a booking is locked we do not go back and re-price it.
Do you carry child seats?
Tell us the ages and how many children when you book and we confirm what we can have in the car for that date before you pay, rather than leaving it to the morning of the flight. If you are bringing your own seats, the second row takes two across and your chauffeur helps you get them in while the bags are loaded, so nobody ends up in the third row next to the luggage.
