Flat rates · No surge
What does a Studio City to LAX car service cost?
Pick one of two vehicles; each has its own starting fare. Studio City to LAX car service rates are set by two things, the address we collect you from and the vehicle you choose, and the booking page shows the total before you pay. Once you book, that number becomes your Studio City to LAX flat rate: an hour-long crawl down I-405 at 4:30 PM costs the same as an empty freeway at 3:30 AM.
Luxury SUV
From $180
Up to 5 passengers and 5 bags
SUV service from Studio City to LAX for a family of five, a stroller and car seats, or golf bags
Estimates are planning guides. Your exact pickup time, address, vehicle and requested extras determine the confirmed total shown before payment.
What can move your fare
- The pickup address, since each Studio City fare is priced to the street you leave from, whether that is Moorpark St or a house off Coldwater Canyon Ave.
- The day and time of the pickup.
- Your vehicle: the luxury SUV starts $25 above the executive sedan.
- Anything you add: a second stop, child seats (from $25 each), a pet ($25), or time beyond the free 15 minutes at pickup.
- How busy I-405 is, how long the trip takes on the day, or how crowded LAX is. iRide360 does not use surge pricing.

Departures
When should you leave Studio City for LAX?
For a 9:00 AM domestic flight, plan on a 5:20 AM pickup at Ventura Blvd and Laurel Canyon; for a 6:30 PM domestic flight, 2:20 PM. Working out how early to leave Studio City for LAX starts with the airline: most advise arriving 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international one. From that arrival time we took off the slower of two measured drives (the one nearest your arrival and the one nearest your pickup), then a 20-minute buffer, and rounded down to the nearest 5 minutes.
- *This car leaves around 4:20 PM, beside the 4:30 PM reading, so the row allows its upper end of 1 hr 50 min.
- †Built on the only Friday reading we have, taken at 2:30 PM (up to 1 hr 40 min).
- ‡We have no reading later than 6:30 PM, so these two rows use it (up to 1 hr 10 min) as the nearest available.
- Reading a row. For a 7:00 PM international flight, be at LAX by 4:00 PM. The nearest check, 4:30 PM, runs up to 1 hr 50 min; add the 20-minute buffer and the pickup is about 1:50 PM.
- An earlier airline cutoff comes first.

Studio City pickups
Where can you be picked up in Studio City?
Our Studio City black car service collects from any address in the neighborhood, from Ventura Boulevard storefronts to houses on the side streets. A few examples:
Ventura Blvd at Laurel Canyon
12100 Ventura Blvd. The starting point for every drive time on this page.
Radford Studio Center
4024 Radford Ave. The television and film lot once called CBS Studio Center, with 18 sound stages, on the site where Mack Sennett opened his studio in May 1928. Book with the street address; we did not time the drive to LAX from here.
The Shops at Sportsmen's Lodge
12833 Ventura Blvd, the address the center lists on its own website.
Harvard-Westlake School (Upper School)
3700 Coldwater Canyon Ave, the grades 10–12 campus of a co-educational day school for grades 7–12.
Studio City Recreation Center
12621 Rye St.
Tujunga Village
12123 Moorpark St.
Homes, apartments and offices
Every address in ZIP code 91604 gets the same door-to-curb ride, with 15 minutes of waiting included.
Things to know before you leave for LAX
Before a Studio City to LAX car service pulls up, two points are worth knowing.
- It is a Los Angeles neighborhood. Studio City sits in the southeast San Fernando Valley, just west of the Cahuenga Pass, and belongs to the City of Los Angeles rather than being a city of its own. Book with your full street address and ZIP code; all six Studio City addresses we checked are in 91604.
- Weekday afternoons are the slow window. Our 3:00 PM, 4:30 PM and Friday 2:30 PM checks all reached at least 1 hr 40 min at the upper end, so an afternoon flight needs the longest lead time of the day.
Compare your options
Car service, Uber, taxi or shuttle: which suits the Studio City to LAX trip?
The trip can be made by pre-booked private car, rideshare, a Studio City to LAX taxi, a Studio City to LAX shuttle or public transit. Working out how to get from Studio City to LAX with bags in tow turns on three questions: when the price is set, who waits for whom, and who carries the luggage. An Uber from Studio City to LAX is priced by the app when you request it; an iRide360 fare is set when you book.
| Feature | iRide360 | Rideshare (Uber, Lyft) | Taxi | Shared shuttle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| When you book | Ahead, for a set pickup time | Usually when you need it | On the spot or by phone | Per the operator's schedule |

Frequently asked questions
Studio City to LAX car service FAQ
The questions travelers ask before booking a Studio City to LAX transfer, grouped in the order they usually come up.
Prices
How much is a car service from Studio City to LAX?
An iRide360 Studio City to LAX car service starts at $155 in an executive sedan and $180 in a luxury SUV. The exact amount depends on your pickup address and vehicle, and the booking page shows it before you pay. Tolls and taxes are already in the fare, and any gratuity is up to you.
What does car service to LAX cost from Studio City?
Car service to LAX from Studio City costs from $155 with iRide360 for an executive sedan, or $180 for a luxury SUV. Studio City to LAX car service rates follow three things: your address, your vehicle and any extras, such as a child seat or a second stop. Traffic on the day does not change them.
Is there a flat rate from Studio City to LAX?
Yes. The Studio City to LAX flat rate is fixed the moment you check out, so a slow afternoon on Interstate 405 adds nothing to it. It changes only if you change the trip: a new address, the other vehicle, an extra stop, or waiting beyond the free 15 minutes.
How much is an Uber from Studio City to LAX?
Only the app can say, because an Uber from Studio City to LAX is priced at the moment you request it and the figure moves with demand. iRide360 does not publish rideshare fares. What we offer instead is a fare agreed in advance, starting at $155 for an executive sedan.
How much is a taxi from Studio City to LAX, and is it cheaper than Uber?
A Studio City to LAX taxi runs on a meter, so its fare grows with time in traffic as well as distance, while Uber prices by demand; either can come out cheaper on a given day, and we quote neither. iRide360 states the amount before the trip, from $155 in an executive sedan.
Is a limo cheaper than Uber?
It depends on the day, because the two are priced differently: Uber sets a fare by demand when you tap request, and a chauffeured car is priced when you book. iRide360 is a black sedan and SUV service, not a stretch limousine fleet, and its Studio City fares start at $155, so set that against the app on your travel date.
Getting there and timing
How do I get from Studio City to LAX?
Deciding how to get from Studio City to LAX mostly means deciding who handles the bags. With iRide360, a chauffeur collects you at home and drives about 23–26 miles, normally south on Interstate 405, to your airline's Departures curb. Rideshare, taxis, shared shuttles and public transit are the other choices.
How far is Studio City from LAX?
Studio City is about 23–26 miles from LAX by road, measured by Google Maps from 12100 Ventura Blvd at Laurel Canyon. The distance from Studio City to LAX was 26.4 miles on most of our checks and 23.4 miles on the 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM routes, with Google Maps routing via Interstate 405.
How long is the drive from Studio City to LAX?
It depends on the hour you leave: Google Maps typically showed 26–35 minutes for a 3:30 AM start on a Tuesday and 55 minutes to 1 hr 50 min for a 4:30 PM start, both from Ventura Blvd at Laurel Canyon. In between, the Studio City to LAX drive time ran 40 minutes to 1 hr 10 min at 10:00 AM and 45 minutes to 1 hr 10 min at 6:30 PM.
How early should I leave Studio City for LAX?
It depends on the hour of your flight. How early to leave Studio City for LAX ranges from about 2 hours 55 minutes before a 6:00 AM domestic flight (pickup 3:05 AM) to about 4 hours 10 minutes before a 6:30 PM one (pickup 2:20 PM). The departure table above covers twelve flight times, international ones included.
Is a 3 AM pickup possible for an early flight?
Yes. Dispatch works around the clock, so a 3:05 AM pickup on Ventura Blvd for a 6:00 AM domestic departure is an ordinary booking. At that hour Google Maps typically showed 26–35 minutes to LAX, the quickest of our eight readings, and the 15-minute free wait still applies.
Where will you drop me at LAX?
Drop-off on a Studio City to LAX airport ride is your airline's curb on the upper Departures level, Tom Bradley International Terminal included. Add the airline and flight number to your booking so the chauffeur heads for the right terminal, and your bags come out at the curb there.
Shuttles, transit and other options
Is there a shuttle from Studio City to LAX?
Shared shuttles do serve the airport, but a Studio City to LAX shuttle may pick up other passengers on the way, and each operator sets its own fares and stops. If you would rather ride with only your own party, a private car from Studio City to LAX with iRide360 leaves from your door at the time you pick.
Is there a train or bus from Studio City to LAX?
Metro's trip planner has the current train and bus routes, which change, and iRide360 doesn't run or advise on transit. With suitcases and no wish to change vehicles, a pre-booked car goes from your Studio City door straight to Departures.
Service and vehicles
Is there a Studio City black car service?
Yes: iRide360 runs a Studio City black car service with black executive sedans and full-size luxury SUVs, under California CPUC permit TCP 43833-A. Pickups cover homes, offices and businesses in ZIP code 91604, Tujunga Village and Ventura Boulevard included, day or night.
Is iRide360 a Studio City limo service?
iRide360 is not a stretch-limousine company, but it covers what most people want from a Studio City limo service for a flight: a chauffeur, a private black executive sedan or luxury SUV, and a fixed price. Anyone looking for a Studio City limo service or a Studio City chauffeur service for LAX gets a door pickup and help with every bag.
What is the best car service for LAX?
We can't rank ourselves, but you can check any company against five points: a CPUC license number, a price fixed when you book, a pickup at a set time from your door, a driver who handles bags, and genuine Google reviews. iRide360 shows TCP 43833-A, fixes each fare at booking and is rated 5.0★ on Google.
Can I get a child seat?
Yes, on request: rear-facing, forward-facing and booster seats, from $25 each. Pick the type and how many you need on the booking form, add each child's age and weight, and the chauffeur fits them before arriving at your Studio City address.
Booking and changes
Do you offer an airport transfer from Studio City to LAX?
Yes. Each airport transfer from Studio City to LAX is booked in advance and includes 15 minutes of free waiting at pickup, a chauffeur who handles your luggage, and drop-off at your own airline's terminal. For five passengers, car seats or a pile of luggage, pick SUV service from Studio City to LAX: the luxury SUV holds 5 people and 5 bags.
Can you stop to collect someone on the way?
Yes, extra stops are part of the service. Put the second pickup on the booking form, or ring dispatch before the car leaves, if a friend near the Studio City Recreation Center is flying with you. You are charged only for the miles and minutes the detour adds, and everyone travels together to the curb.
Can I change my booking?
Yes. Use the online booking or call dispatch at (833) 743-3360 to move the time, change the address or switch vehicles; the price is recalculated for the new details. A flight that slides to late afternoon may need a much earlier car, so check the departure table again before you confirm.
What happens if I'm running late at pickup?
You have 15 minutes at no charge from the booked pickup time. If you will need longer, call dispatch at (833) 743-3360 so your chauffeur knows; waiting beyond those 15 minutes is charged, so packed bags by the door help.
