LAX to Encino Car Service

You can get from LAX to Encino by private car, rideshare, taxi, shared shuttle or public transit. A booked LAX to Encino car service meets you at your terminal and drives the 22–24 miles up I-405 to your door. If you are traveling from LAX airport to Encino with luggage or children, a private car means no transfers along the way.

It depends on the day, because rideshare fares move with demand while a booked car's price is fixed. Uber shows its price in the app when you request a ride. iRide360 is a black car service, not a stretch limo, and quotes a flat fare at booking, from $146 for a sedan to Encino. Compare both on the day you travel.

The cheapest way to get to LAX depends on your day, your group and your bags, so compare public transit, shared shuttles, rideshare and taxis when you travel; each sets its own prices. iRide360 is a private car with the fare set at booking, from $146 for a sedan between Encino and LAX, for riders who want a direct door-to-terminal trip.

If your flight into LAX runs late, your iRide360 pickup moves with it at no extra charge. Dispatch watches the flight number you gave at booking and sends your chauffeur for the actual landing time. If you switch to another flight, call (833) 743-3360 with the new number so your car is there when you arrive.

An iRide360 chauffeur waits 60 minutes after your flight lands at LAX at no charge, which leaves time for the walk to baggage claim and the carousel. After that hour, waiting costs $1 per minute. For the trip back to the airport, an Encino pickup includes 15 minutes of free waiting at your door.

Only the Uber app can quote an Uber from LAX to Encino, or an Uber from Encino to LAX, because rideshare prices change with demand and time of day.
