Every reading starts at 12 minutes. Only the top of the range moves: 16 minutes before dawn, 22–28 in the morning, 30 on Tuesday afternoon and 35 on Friday. We measured from Runway at Playa Vista only, so from another address in 90094 your time may differ.

Departures
How early should you leave Playa Vista for LAX?
How early to leave Playa Vista for LAX depends far more on your airline than on the road. Plan to be at the terminal 2 hours ahead of a domestic departure, or 3 hours ahead of an international one, as airlines generally advise. Each pickup below counts back from that arrival using the slower of two Google Maps readings (nearest your LAX arrival, and nearest the pickup itself), then takes off a 20-minute buffer and rounds down to 5 minutes.
- *We have no reading between 10 AM and 3 PM, so the 3:00 PM flight row uses the slower neighboring reading, 3:00 PM (up to 30 minutes). We have none after 6:30 PM either, so the 11:30 PM row uses the latest one we measured, 6:30 PM (up to 28 minutes).
- Reading the table. Take a 12:00 PM domestic flight: be at LAX by 10:00 AM. The 10:00 AM reading tops out at 28 minutes and the buffer adds 20, so the car comes at about 9:10 AM.
- Your airline's own check-in and bag-drop cutoffs come before any row here.
| Flight departs | Flight type | Pickup in Playa Vista |
|---|---|---|
| 6:00 AM | Domestic | About 3:20 AM |
| 8:00 AM | Domestic | About 5:15 AM |
| 9:00 AM | Domestic | About 6:15 AM |

Good to know before you head to LAX
A few details about the neighborhood and the drive help you plan.
- Where the edges are. Lincoln Boulevard and the Ballona Wetlands form Playa Vista's western edge; Centinela Avenue marks the east side, and the Del Rey Hills bluffs close off the south.
- Leaving from work? Playa Vista is part of Silicon Beach, with technology, media and entertainment firms. Put your office's street address on the booking rather than the company name.
- Leaving from a park? The community site counts 29 parks. If you are collected at one, give its street address rather than its name.
- Friday afternoons spread widest. The Friday 2:30 PM reading ran 12–35 minutes, the broadest of the eight checks, which is why the Friday row allows 35 minutes of driving.
- A bit of history. Playa Vista sits on the former headquarters of Hughes Aircraft Company (1941–1985), where the Hughes H-4 Hercules, the "Spruce Goose," was built.

Prices
How much is a car service from Playa Vista to LAX?
An iRide360 car service from Playa Vista to LAX starts at $100 for an executive sedan and $125 for a luxury SUV. Playa Vista to LAX car service rates are set by your pickup address and vehicle, and the booking page shows the exact figure before you pay. Tolls and taxes are inside the fare, and gratuity is optional.
Is there a flat rate from Playa Vista to LAX?
Yes. Each iRide360 ride has a Playa Vista to LAX flat rate fixed when you book, and a slow afternoon on Sepulveda does not change it. The amount moves only if you change the trip: a different address, the bigger vehicle, an added stop, a child seat, or waiting past the free 15 minutes.
How much is an Uber from Playa Vista to LAX?
The Uber app is the only place to see what an Uber from Playa Vista to LAX costs, because it prices each request at the moment you make it and the figure moves with demand. We don't quote rideshare fares. An iRide360 fare is settled at booking, from $100 in an executive sedan.
How much is a taxi from Playa Vista to LAX?
A Playa Vista to LAX taxi charges by the meter rather than a flat rate, so the total depends on the route and the traffic on the day. We don't publish taxi fares. With iRide360 the price is known before you leave home, from $100 for a sedan, and the first 15 minutes at your door are free.
Getting there and timing

The Playa Vista to LAX drive time is typically 12–16 minutes at 3:30 AM and 12–30 minutes on a Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 or 4:30 PM, per Google Maps readings from Runway at Playa Vista. Friday at 2:30 PM gave the widest range, 12–35 minutes. The trip is about 5 miles on surface streets.

Shuttles and alternatives
What is the cheapest shuttle to LAX?

Can I get a child seat?
Yes. Rear-facing, forward-facing and booster seats are available from $25 each. Choose the type and number when you book, and they are installed before your chauffeur arrives at your Playa Vista address, so you can buckle in and leave on time.
Booking and changes
Can I add a second pickup on the way?
Yes. Add the extra address when you book, or call dispatch before pickup, and one car collects everyone before heading to LAX. A stop is priced for the extra miles and minutes it puts on the trip, nothing more. You might, for example, collect a colleague from another Playa Vista building or from neighboring Westchester.

Yes. Change the pickup time, address or vehicle online or through dispatch at (833) 743-3360, and the booking shows the fare for the updated trip. If your flight moves, look at the pickup table again: on this route the slow end ranges from 16 minutes before dawn to 35 minutes on a Friday afternoon.
