How much does luxury car service from LAX cost?

What you actually pay for a private LAX car service in Los Angeles — how flat-rate pricing works, what's included, what drives the number, and why it beats a surging rideshare.

Short answer: a luxury LAX car service with Continental is a flat rate, quoted before you book — not a meter and not a surging app fare. You see the exact, all-inclusive total the moment you enter your pickup and drop-off, and it does not change after the ride. There's no surge, no hidden airport fee, and gratuity is already in the number.

How the price is set

Continental airport transfers are priced flat by zone — the distance and area between LAX and your address. A run to Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, or Downtown is one set rate; Malibu, Pasadena, or Orange County is another. Because it's zone-based and locked at booking, two people taking the same trip pay the same price whether it's 6am on a Tuesday or 11pm on New Year's Eve.

What's included in the quoted rate

  • The full-size Cadillac Escalade ESV (not a sedan) and a professional chauffeur
  • Flight tracking — your chauffeur adjusts to your actual landing time, free, even if you're delayed
  • Gratuity — built in, nothing extra to hand over at the end
  • Curbside pickup at your terminal (meet & greet inside is an optional add-on)
  • All taxes and standard fees — the quote is the total

What changes the number

  • Distance / zone: a Westside hotel is less than a run to Malibu or Palm Springs
  • Meet & greet: a small add-on if you want the chauffeur to meet you at baggage claim with a name sign and help with bags, rather than curbside
  • Multiple stops or a wait-and-return: handled as hourly instead of a one-way transfer
  • Group size: most parties fit one Escalade (up to 6 with luggage); larger groups take additional vehicles

How to get your exact price

Enter your pickup and drop-off at the booking page and the flat-rate total appears before you confirm — no phone tag, no 'call for a quote.' If you'd rather talk it through, or you have a multi-stop day, a wait-and-return, or a group, call or text (213) 373-7040 and we'll quote it on the spot.

For anything beyond a simple transfer — a full day across LA, a wedding, an executive itinerary — see the hourly charter, which is $115 per hour for the first three hours and $99 after, gratuity included, with the same chauffeur all day.

Questions about this

How much does a car from LAX to Beverly Hills cost?

It's a flat, zone-based rate quoted up front at booking — the same price regardless of time of day, with no surge. Enter LAX and your Beverly Hills address at ridecontinental.com/book/airport to see the exact all-inclusive total (vehicle, chauffeur, flight tracking, and gratuity) before you confirm.

Is gratuity included in the LAX transfer price?

Yes. Every Continental quote already includes gratuity, so there's nothing extra to calculate or hand over at the end of the ride. The number you're quoted is the number you pay.

Are there extra fees for airport pickups, tolls, or waiting?

No hidden fees. Flight tracking and a reasonable arrival window are included on airport pickups, so a normal delay doesn't trigger a charge. The only optional add-on is meet & greet (your chauffeur meeting you inside at baggage claim). Long waits or multiple stops are simply booked as hourly instead of a one-way transfer.

Is luxury car service more expensive than Uber Black?

Uber Black is sometimes cheaper off-peak and often more expensive during surge — and the price isn't guaranteed until you request it. Continental is a locked flat rate every time, in a full-size Escalade with a professional chauffeur who tracks your flight and won't cancel on you. You're paying for certainty, not a gamble.

Do I pay when I book or after the ride?

Retail bookings are confirmed with a card at booking; corporate accounts can invoice monthly. Because the quote is all-inclusive, there's no separate or surprise charge after the trip.
