Executive Car Service in Los Angeles, Priced Before You Ride

What is an executive car service?

An executive car service is chauffeured ground transport booked in advance, in a car chosen for quiet and comfort rather than for capacity, at a price settled before the ride starts. The three things in that sentence are what separate it from everything else on the road in Los Angeles: it is prearranged, it is chauffeured, and it is priced in advance.

Prearranged means a named time and two addresses, held in a booking, not a request broadcast to whoever happens to be nearby when you open an app. Chauffeured means a licensed professional driving under a carrier license rather than a motorist using their own car. Priced in advance means the figure you agree to is the figure you pay, whatever the traffic does on the day.

An iRide360 executive car service booking in Los Angeles runs in one of two vehicle classes — a black executive sedan or a black full-size luxury SUV — with a licensed chauffeur, and complimentary Fiji bottled water, onboard Wi-Fi and phone chargers in both. It is the whole of what iRide360 offers as executive transportation Los Angeles travelers can book by name: two classes, one price, set in advance. An iRide360 executive car service rate is fixed when you book, and there is no surge pricing at any hour or on any date. Tolls and taxes are already inside the figure, and the gratuity is yours to choose at checkout.

The term is used loosely across the industry. On this page it means the policies set out below, every one of which is a current iRide360 operating policy you can read before you book.

Who books an executive car service in Los Angeles?

An executive car service in Los Angeles is usually booked by the person who is going to be sitting in the car. That is the honest answer, and it is what separates this from a company travel arrangement: the booking is made by the traveler, for themselves, because the ride matters more than the saving.

The pattern repeats across the county. A 5:40am departure out of LAX where being late is not an option. A client meeting in Century City where arriving flustered costs more than the fare. An arrival at Tom Bradley after eleven hours in the air, where the point of the booking is that somebody is already there.

Two neighboring needs are handled on other pages, because each is a different product rather than a different adjective:

• A company that books and pays for its people’s travel is doing something else — that is corporate car service, and it is covered on the corporate car service Los Angeles page. To talk about how a company would book, call iRide360 dispatch on (833) 743-3360.
• A chauffeur held for a block of time, waiting between stops rather than being re-booked at each one, is as-directed hourly hire. The rates and the minimum booking length are published on the hourly service page, which is where that product is priced. This page quotes no hourly figure.

The two vehicle classes, and which one to pick

iRide360 runs two classes for executive car service in Los Angeles, and the choice between them is made on bags rather than on budget.

Executive sedan — black, up to 3 passengers and 3 bags. One or two people with normal luggage, which covers most airport runs and almost every meeting.

Executive sedan

Up to 3 passengers · 3 bags

The rate is fixed when you book, with tolls and taxes included and gratuity optional.

Luxury SUV — black, full-size, up to 5 passengers and 5 bags. More people, more luggage, or the same two people with golf clubs and a week away.

Both carry complimentary Fiji bottled water, onboard Wi-Fi and phone chargers. iRide360 operates no other vehicle class: no vans, no buses and no stretched vehicles. More than five passengers means more than one car, which iRide360 dispatch arranges on (833) 743-3360.

If you are between the two, book on the bag count. Five bags do not fit in a sedan, and a chauffeur arriving at a curb with the wrong car is a problem neither of you can fix at the curb.

What is in an executive car service price?

An iRide360 executive car service rate is a flat rate, fixed at the moment you book, and it does not move afterwards.

Inside the fare

• The price itself, fixed at booking. No surge pricing, at any hour, on any date.
• Tolls and taxes.
• Flight tracking on airport arrivals, and a pickup that moves with a delayed flight at no charge.
• 60 minutes of complimentary wait after an airport arrival lands; 15 minutes for any other pickup.
• Complimentary Fiji bottled water, onboard Wi-Fi and phone chargers, in both vehicle classes.
• A licensed and insured chauffeur, driving under CPUC charter-party carrier license TCP 43833-A.

What changes the figure, before you book

• The distance and expected driving time between your two addresses.
• Which of the two vehicle classes you choose.
• The time of day you book for.
• Extra stops along the way.
• A child seat, a pet, or wait time past the complimentary window.

What does not change it, after you book

• Traffic on the day. The price was fixed when you booked.
• Demand. There is no surge pricing.
• Tolls or taxes. They are already inside the figure you agreed.

iRide360 publishes no fare on this page, because an executive car service price depends on two addresses and a time. The flat price for your trip, in both vehicle classes, is shown on the booking form before anything is confirmed.

What is priced separately

• Gratuity, which is yours to set at checkout — 15%, 18%, 20% (pre-selected), 25% or any custom amount including $0. The gratuity a passenger chooses at checkout goes to the iRide360 chauffeur, and no tip is built into the quoted fare.
• Child seats — booster, forward-facing or rear-facing — from $25 each, on request.
• A $25 pet fee.
• Extra stops, priced for the added distance and time.
• Wait beyond the complimentary window, at $1 per minute.

What happens when a flight slips

A late flight does not change an iRide360 executive car service booking or its price. This is the part of an executive car service that earns the difference, and it is the part most operators do not write down.

Flight tracking is included on every airport arrival. If the flight lands late, the pickup moves with it at no extra charge — nobody has to be told and nothing has to be rebooked. An iRide360 airport arrival includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait after the flight lands, then $1 per minute. Immigration, baggage and a slow walk out of Tom Bradley usually fit inside that hour. A pickup anywhere other than an airport includes 15 minutes.

At LAX you choose how you are met when you book: curbside on the lower Arrivals level, or a meet-and-greet inside the terminal with a name sign. They are two different things and you pick one. iRide360 does not use the LAX-it rideshare lot — as a prearranged licensed operator it meets passengers at the terminal.

Everything else about LAX specifically — terminals, pickup points, the way an arrival actually runs — is on the LAX airport car service page.

Executive car service, a rideshare, or a taxi

No prices are given here for any of the three. The difference worth paying for is not the car on its own: it is that the number was agreed in advance, and that the chauffeur waits an hour after a late landing without charging for it. Those are the two questions people are actually weighing when they compare an executive car service with a rideshare, and both are settled before the day.

For the black car category more broadly — what the term covers, what it includes, how it is booked — see black car service Los Angeles. An executive black car service booking and a black car service booking are the same two vehicle classes and the same flat rate; that page is where the category itself is explained.

Who is driving

An iRide360 executive car service is driven by a licensed chauffeur working under the company’s California CPUC charter-party carrier license. Chauffeurs are screened and background-checked. iRide360 holds license TCP 43833-A and is licensed and insured.

A charter-party carrier permit is the authorization the California Public Utilities Commission issues to a company carrying passengers for hire on a prearranged basis; the number is on file with the CPUC and you can check it before you book. iRide360 dispatch answers 24 hours a day on (833) 743-3360, from 222 N Pacific Coast Hwy, Suite 2000, El Segundo, CA 90245 — minutes from LAX.

That list is short on purpose: it holds what iRide360 can stand behind, with a license number you can verify, and nothing it cannot. iRide360 is rated 5.0★ on Google.
