What it is
What is a black car service?
A black car service is a pre-booked ride in a luxury sedan or SUV, usually black, driven by a professional chauffeur. Unlike a taxi or a standard rideshare, you book ahead, the price is set before the ride, and the chauffeur meets you at your address or tracks your flight at the airport. In Los Angeles, black cars are most often used for LAX transfers, executive travel and evenings out.

What is considered a black car service?
A pre-booked luxury sedan or SUV with a professional chauffeur, priced before the ride. It differs from a taxi or standard rideshare because you book ahead and the chauffeur meets you at a set time and place.
What's the difference between black car service and luxury car service?
In Los Angeles the terms mean the same thing: a chauffeur-driven luxury sedan or SUV. The Luxury Sedan (S-Class or 7 Series) and Luxury SUV (Escalade) are the top classes.
Do black cars pick up at the LAX terminal?
Yes. LAX sends taxis and standard ride apps to the LAX-it lot, but prearranged limousines and town cars pick up at the outermost curb on the lower/arrivals level, outside baggage claim.
Is a black car service the same as a town car service?
Yes. "Town car" is the older name for a chauffeured luxury sedan. The Executive and Luxury Sedans are today's town car.
Can I book a black car for someone else?
Yes. Enter the passenger's name and phone number. The passenger doesn't get an automatic message. Confirmations go to you, and the concierge uses the passenger's details to coordinate the pickup.
Is gratuity included?
Required trip costs are included in the price you see. Gratuity is optional.
