Continental · Flat-rate transfer
Van Nuys Airport → Beverly Hills.
At $171 all-in, the private Cadillac Escalade ESV from Van Nuys Airport to Beverly Hills spends roughly 28 minutes on the 405. Van Nuys is general aviation, so there is no carousel and no terminal crowd: you land, the handler walks you out, and the car is already there. Tell us the FBO and the tail number when you book, because Clay Lacy, Signature and Castle and Cooke sit on different sides of the field and arriving at the wrong gate costs more time than the drive does.

Pickup
We stage at your FBO's arrivals door rather than a public curb, which is why the handler's name matters more than a pillar number on this run. Where the FBO allows vehicles on the ramp, your chauffeur can meet the aircraft and load at the stairs; where it does not, the car sits at the lobby door and your bags come out to it. Meet and Greet, the add-on we offer at commercial baggage claims, is not something you need at a private terminal.
Drop-off
From the field we drop down the 405 and come into Beverly Hills from the west, so the Sunset corridor and the addresses off Beverly Glen land first, with Benedict Canyon and the far east end of the city a few minutes further on. The Beverly Hills Hotel, the Beverly Wilshire and the Hotel Bel-Air just west of the city line all take the car in their own front drives, and we work with the bell stand at each. For a private residence we confirm the gate code or the callbox name before the day so nobody is sitting in the driveway.
Why Continental for this route
A private arrival is scheduled to the minute and then moves, sometimes by an hour, and the point of a chauffeur here is that the car absorbs that instead of you. We hold your car for the aircraft, not for the clock. The other half of the job is the Sepulveda Pass, the least predictable ten miles on the Westside, and your chauffeur decides between it, Beverly Glen and Coldwater while you are still on the ramp.
Van Nuys Airport to Beverly Hills, common questions
How much is a car from Van Nuys Airport to Beverly Hills?
$171 for the private Cadillac Escalade ESV with chauffeur, up to six passengers and four large bags. The figure is locked at booking and is not re-priced, whatever the aircraft ends up doing. If your party is larger than one car or you are moving a jet's worth of luggage, say so at booking and we will hold a second Escalade.
How long does Van Nuys Airport to Beverly Hills take?
24-34 min off-peak, and 45-65 min when the 405 southbound through the Sepulveda Pass is loaded, which covers most weekday afternoons and a good share of Friday. Weekend mornings are the fast version. The canyon alternates are often no quicker, only steadier, and your chauffeur takes the steadier line when minutes matter.
Can the car meet the aircraft on the ramp?
At the FBOs that permit it, yes, and your chauffeur will be at the stairs as you come down. Ramp access is the handler's call rather than ours, so we confirm it with your FBO before the day instead of promising it. Where it is not available the car is at the lobby door, a short walk either way.
What if the arrival time slips?
We work from the tail number and the handler's update, not the original schedule, so your chauffeur is there when the aircraft is. Private arrivals move far more than commercial ones, and that is the normal case here rather than an exception. A delayed arrival does not cost you anything.
Do you handle the return to Van Nuys as well?
Often, and many clients book both legs at once. The return out of Beverly Hills is quoted on its own distance rather than as half of this one, so ask for it at the same time. Standing hours work too if you want the car with you between meetings, and child seats can be fitted before pickup if you give us the ages.
