LAX to Disneyland car service: the stress-free way to start the trip

Short version: Disneyland is in Anaheim, about 35 miles southeast of LAX, typically a 45 to 90 minute drive depending on traffic. The easiest way to get there with children, luggage and jet lag is an LAX to Disneyland car service: we track your flight, meet you at the airport and take you straight to your hotel door for one flat rate, quoted up front. No shuttle that stops at six other hotels, no rideshare surge, no rental car counter and no finding your way around the 405 in a strange city.

Here is exactly how an LAX to Disneyland transfer works with Continental, and why families and groups choose it over the alternatives.

Why a private car beats the other options

• Shared shuttles are cheap but slow. They wait to fill up, then stop at other resort hotels before yours. With small children after a long flight, that can be the difference between a 50-minute ride and a two-hour ordeal.
• Rideshare works until it does not: surge pricing on arrival, a long walk to the LAX-it pickup lot, and no guarantee the car fits your family, the stroller and the bags.
• A rental car means the counter line, unfamiliar freeways, daily resort parking fees in Anaheim and one parent driving instead of resting.
• A private chauffeur is door to door, with a fixed price, flight tracking and a car sized to your group. You land, you are met, and you relax all the way to your hotel.

How the transfer works

1. Book with your flight number and your Disneyland-area hotel. We monitor the flight, so if you land early or late, your pickup moves with it, at no charge.
2. Add meet & greet for an international or first-time arrival, and your chauffeur will meet you inside at baggage claim with a name sign and help with the bags. (Curbside pickup is included, and meet & greet is a small add-on. Our meet & greet guide explains more.)
3. Ride in a Cadillac Escalade ESV with room for the family, the luggage and the stroller. Child seats are available on request; just tell us the children's ages.
4. We take you straight to your resort's front door. Want the return handled too? Book the round trip and we will be there for your departure, timed to your flight.

Traveling as a group

Working out a ride while you read this? Get your price. Flat rate, gratuity included, locked when you book.

An Escalade ESV seats up to six with luggage. Traveling with a bigger party, such as several families, a sports team or a tour group? We run several Escalades on one booking so everyone arrives together, at the same flat rate per vehicle. Tell us how many people and bags you have, and we will plan the right number of cars.

Timing your day

Traffic between LAX and Anaheim depends on the time of day. Midday and late evening are smooth (45 to 60 minutes). Weekday afternoons (3 to 7pm) and all of Friday afternoon can push it to 75 to 90 minutes as the 405 and the 5 fill up. For the return to LAX, we set your pickup time from your flight and live traffic. Our guide to what time to leave for LAX explains the buffers we build in.

The bottom line

The trip starts the moment you land, not when you finally reach the park. A private LAX to Disneyland chauffeur turns the hardest, most tiring leg of a family vacation into the easiest one. You are met, you are comfortable, and you arrive at the door ready for the fun.
