Artisan example prices from LAX and Burbank

Quoted Nov 5, 2026 for one-way pickup Nov 14, 2026 at 10 AM Pacific, one passenger and one bag. Required trip charges are included; gratuity is optional.

Your fare depends on the address, time, vehicle and options. Compare the same trip details and service terms when requesting other prices.

John Wayne Airport examples for Orange County

SNA is closer to many Orange County destinations than LAX. Examples are one way, quoted Nov 5, 2026 for Nov 14 at 10 AM, one passenger and one bag.

Hourly car service rates in Los Angeles

Hourly service keeps the car with you between scheduled stops. The minimum is three hours; approved extra time is billed in 30-minute steps at the same rate, subject to availability.

Sprinters, Mini Coaches and Motorcoaches need a written quote, which sets the waiting terms. Gratuity is optional on its own line; sedans and SUVs have no surge pricing.

Car service vs taxi, rideshare, FlyAway and Metro at LAX

LAX options differ by pickup point and fare unit: private cars and taxis charge per trip, transit charges per passenger, and app fares vary with demand.

The taxi flat fare applies to the Downtown zone, including Union Station and Chinatown, not every LA address. FlyAway serves Union Station and Van Nuys; Metro riders take the free shuttle to its Transit Center. App fares change with demand, so compare the current total for the same destination.

Can a car service pick you up at LAX?

Yes. LAX directs prearranged chauffeured cars to the outermost curb on the first level outside baggage claim (LAX ground transportation, checked Nov 1, 2026). Standard rideshare and most taxis use LAX-it, reached on foot or by the free airport shuttle from the inner curb; eligible premium app tiers may use terminal curbs, so follow the app’s current instructions.

After landing, collect your bags and call your chauffeur as you leave baggage claim to coordinate the meeting point. At LAX, Artisan’s optional $25 meet-and-greet provides an inside-terminal meeting with a name sign for eligible airport arrivals. Airline flights are tracked in real time. Sedan and SUV pickups include 60 minutes of waiting after domestic wheels-down and 90 minutes after international wheels-down. Sprinter and coach waiting is set in the written quote.

At other airports, follow the pickup directions for that airport and your reservation. The LAX-it pickup guide explains where standard app rides and taxis meet passengers, and LAX ground transportation compares the airport’s public and private options.

Which Los Angeles airports can you use for car service?

Artisan serves LAX, Hollywood Burbank (BUR), John Wayne (SNA), Long Beach (LGB), Van Nuys (VNY) and Ontario (ONT). The closest airport depends on your destination and the trip you are taking.

Use the LAX airport car service, Burbank Airport car service, John Wayne Airport car service, Long Beach Airport car service, Van Nuys Airport car service or Ontario Airport car service page for the airport-specific details.

Which vehicle should you book in Los Angeles?

Choose a sedan or SUV based on passenger and bag count, then request a larger vehicle by written quote if your group exceeds the vehicle’s capacity.

Child seats are available only in eligible SUVs, up to two per vehicle, at $25 per seat. Request seats in advance with each child’s age, weight and height; availability applies. Sprinters, Mini Coaches and Motorcoaches are quoted in writing, with their waiting terms included in the quote.

When should you book a car service in Los Angeles?

Request a ride as soon as you know your flight or pickup schedule, especially when you need a particular vehicle or a group quote. Online ride requests are accepted 24/7, and the phone is answered 24/7 at (888) 850-5060.

For an airport pickup, include the airline and flight number, the passenger name, the arrival airport and terminal if known, the destination address, passenger count and bags. Add a child-seat request before booking and provide each child’s age, weight and height. For a private flight, send the FBO and tail number, or your flight team’s timing, and we coordinate your pickup.

For a multi-stop day, request hourly service and list the planned stops. The minimum is three hours for the four sedan and SUV classes above; approved extra time is billed in 30-minute steps at the same rate, subject to availability. For Sprinters and coaches, request the written price and waiting terms for the full trip.

What should you ask before booking any Los Angeles car service?

Ask these questions before choosing a company so the quote matches the pickup, vehicle and schedule you need.

• What is the price for my exact pickup and drop-off addresses, date and time?
• Does the quoted total include required trip charges, airport fees, tolls, parking and fuel, or do any of them appear separately?
• Is gratuity optional, included or added as a percentage?
• Where will the chauffeur meet me at LAX, BUR or SNA, and is that curbside or inside the terminal?
• How many minutes of airport waiting are included, and does the clock start at wheels-down, gate arrival or scheduled pickup?
• What does extra waiting cost, and how is it billed?
• Which vehicle class will be used, how many passengers and bags fit, and can the company provide the child seats I requested?
• What is the hourly minimum, how are extra hours billed, and how long can the vehicle wait between stops?
• Is meet-and-greet available, what does it cost, and does it include a name sign and luggage assistance?
• What is the cancellation policy and how do I reach the company if the flight changes?

Ask for the final trip details in writing before you pay. A published starting fare or one route example may not cover the address, stop or vehicle you need.
