From $150 in an executive sedan or $180 in a luxury SUV, an iRide360 Van Nuys to LAX car service is a flat rate set at booking, never surged.

Tolls and taxes are inside the fare; tipping is optional.
Between Van Nuys and the airport stand the Santa Monica Mountains, and Interstate 405 carries you over them through the Sepulveda Pass. That one crossing is why the hour you set out matters more than the miles. iRide360, a CPUC-licensed (TCP 43833-A) black car service based in El Segundo near LAX, runs a San Fernando Valley car service to LAX that starts at any Van Nuys address, day or night.

What does a Van Nuys to LAX car service cost?
Pick a vehicle; each has its own starting fare. The Van Nuys to LAX car service cost depends on two things: the street you leave from and the vehicle you pick. The booking page prices your exact pickup before you pay, and that figure becomes your Van Nuys to LAX flat rate. A slow Sepulveda Pass leaves it unchanged.
Luxury SUV

Up to 5 passengers and 5 bags
SUV service from Van Nuys to LAX for a family, a group of colleagues, golf bags or a stroller.

What moves the price
- Your exact pickup address: the booking engine prices each street on its own.

- What you add: an extra stop, child seats (from $25 each), a pet ($25) or waiting longer than the free 15 minutes.
- Heavy traffic on I-405, a stop-and-go Sepulveda Pass or a busy hour at LAX. iRide360 has no surge pricing.

Departures
When should you leave Van Nuys for LAX?
For a 9:00 AM domestic flight, book a 5:20 AM pickup at Van Nuys City Hall; for a 6:30 PM domestic flight, 2:30 PM. Deciding how early to leave Van Nuys for LAX begins with your airline, which typically wants you at the airport 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international one. From that target we subtract the slower of two measured drives (nearest your arrival hour, nearest your pickup hour) plus a 20-minute buffer, then trim to the earlier five-minute mark.
- *8:30 AM falls midway between the 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM readings; the row takes the slower, up to 1 hr 20 min.
- †No reading exists near 1:00 PM; the nearest, 3:00 PM, is also the slower (up to 1 hr 25 min).
- ‡The car leaves near 4:50 PM, so the row allows the 4:30 PM reading's 1 hr 40 min.
- §Uses the one Friday reading, 2:30 PM (up to 1 hr 30 min).
- ¶No reading exists after 6:30 PM; the row uses that one (up to 1 hr 5 min).
- Working through one row. A 7:00 PM international flight means reaching LAX by 4:00 PM. The nearest reading, 4:30 PM, runs up to 1 hr 40 min; with the 20-minute buffer, the car leaves Van Nuys at about 2:20 PM. Your airline's own check-in deadline comes first.

Frequently asked questions
Van Nuys to LAX car service FAQ
The questions travelers ask before booking a Van Nuys to LAX transfer, grouped in the order they usually come up.
Prices
How much is car service to LAX from Van Nuys?
An iRide360 car from Van Nuys to LAX starts at $150 for an executive sedan and $180 for a luxury SUV. The Van Nuys to LAX car service cost is calculated for your street and your vehicle, and the booking page shows it before you pay. Tolls and taxes are included, and gratuity is optional.
Is there a flat rate from Van Nuys to LAX?
Yes. The total you accept at checkout becomes your Van Nuys to LAX flat rate. On the 4:30 PM reading the drive ran up to 1 hr 40 min, and the fare would still not change. What can change it is your own edit to the trip: another stop, the larger vehicle or extra minutes at pickup beyond the free 15.
How much is an Uber from Van Nuys to LAX?
There is no fixed answer: Uber quotes an Uber from Van Nuys to LAX in its app at the moment you ask, and the figure follows demand. iRide360 doesn't track or publish rideshare prices. Our own fare is set when you book, from $150 in an executive sedan, with 15 minutes of free waiting at your door.
How much is a taxi from Van Nuys to LAX?
We can't give a figure: a Van Nuys to LAX taxi runs on its meter, and the total builds with every mile and every slow stretch of I-405. iRide360 publishes no taxi fares. An executive sedan with us starts at $150, agreed before you leave home, and traffic cannot raise it.
Is LAX FlyAway cheaper than a taxi?
Whether the LAX FlyAway is cheaper than a taxi depends on current fares, which we don't quote, so check LAX's official website. They also work differently: the FlyAway is a bus from its own Van Nuys terminal, while a taxi is metered. An iRide360 car has a fixed price, from $150, and starts at your door.
Is a limo cheaper than Uber?
It depends on the hour and the trip: Uber recalculates its price with demand, while a chauffeured car is priced when you book. Set the Uber app's quote on your travel day beside our fixed fare. iRide360 drives black executive sedans and luxury SUVs, not stretch limousines, from $150 in Van Nuys.
Getting there and timing
How do I get from Van Nuys to LAX?
You can get from Van Nuys to LAX by booked private car, rideshare, taxi, shared shuttle, the FlyAway bus or Metro transit. Sorting out how to get from Van Nuys to LAX with iRide360 takes one booking: a chauffeur arrives at your set time and drives I-405 South to your airline's curb.
How far is Van Nuys from LAX?
Van Nuys City Hall is about 21–24 miles from LAX by road, per Google Maps. The Van Nuys to LAX distance changed with the route Google Maps chose: 23.8 miles at 3:30 AM and 20.7 miles at 7:00 AM on a Tuesday, both via I-405 South. Northbound, from LAX to City Hall, Google Maps measured about 25 miles.
How long does it take to get from Van Nuys to LAX?
Driving from Van Nuys to LAX typically takes 26–35 minutes at 3:30 AM and 50 minutes to 1 hr 40 min at 4:30 PM, the quickest and slowest Tuesday readings Google Maps gave from Van Nuys City Hall. Between those, the Van Nuys to LAX time at 10:00 AM was 35 minutes to 1 hr 10 min, and at 6:30 PM 40 minutes to 1 hr 5 min.
How early should I leave Van Nuys for an LAX flight?
Leave Van Nuys about 3 hours 40 minutes before a 9:00 AM domestic flight, with a 5:20 AM pickup at Van Nuys City Hall. A 6:30 PM domestic flight needs a 2:30 PM pickup, four hours ahead, because late afternoon is the slowest time to drive. That is how early to leave Van Nuys for LAX, 20-minute buffer included.
Where will you drop me at LAX?
At the curb of your own airline's terminal, on the upper Departures level; the Tom Bradley International Terminal works the same way. The Van Nuys to LAX airport run is routed from the airline and flight number in your booking, and your chauffeur unloads your bags right there.
FlyAway, shuttles and buses
Is there a shuttle service available from Van Nuys Airport to LAX?
Yes. The LAX FlyAway has a terminal at Van Nuys Airport, at Woodley and Saticoy Avenues, where LAX-bound passengers park and board; check LAX's official FlyAway page for times and fares. The Van Nuys to LAX FlyAway is a shared bus, and any other Van Nuys to LAX shuttle may stop for other riders. iRide360 starts from your own address at a price set when you book.
Is there a bus from Van Nuys to LAX?
Yes, the LAX FlyAway bus links its Van Nuys terminal at Woodley and Saticoy Avenues with LAX. Metro's official trip planner lists other Van Nuys to LAX bus connections and current schedules, which change often. iRide360 doesn't run buses; a booked car goes from your door to Departures without a transfer.
Service and vehicles
Is there a Van Nuys black car service for LAX trips?
Yes. iRide360 works as a Van Nuys black car service licensed by the California CPUC (TCP 43833-A), with two classes: a black executive sedan and a full-size black luxury SUV. Pickups run around the clock from homes, offices and landmarks in ZIP codes 91401, 91405, 91406, 91409 and 91411.
Is iRide360 a Van Nuys limo service?
Not in the stretch-limousine sense: iRide360 runs chauffeured black executive sedans and luxury SUVs. What it shares with a Van Nuys limo service is the private, door-to-terminal part of the trip. Anyone looking up a Van Nuys limo service for a flight gets a chauffeur at the door, help with every bag and a price fixed at booking.
Is there a San Fernando Valley car service to LAX?
Yes. iRide360 runs a San Fernando Valley car service to LAX, and Van Nuys, in the central Valley, is one of the neighborhoods it covers. Google Maps routed every Van Nuys check over the Santa Monica Mountains on I-405 South, so the leaving time matters more than the address.
What is the best car service for LAX?
The best car service for LAX is one whose claims you can confirm before booking: a CPUC license number, a fare fixed at booking, a stated free wait and genuine Google reviews. iRide360 shows TCP 43833-A, holds the price from booking to drop-off, waits 15 minutes free at a Van Nuys pickup and is rated 5.0★ on Google.
Do you offer an airport transfer from Van Nuys to LAX in an SUV?
Yes, both vehicles are available for an airport transfer from Van Nuys to LAX. Count suitcases as carefully as people: a couple with four large cases already needs the luxury SUV, which holds 5 passengers and 5 bags. That is when SUV service from Van Nuys to LAX makes sense; the executive sedan takes 3 and 3.
Can I get a child seat?
Yes. Rear-facing, forward-facing and booster seats cost from $25 each, and the booking form takes up to 2 in the executive sedan or 3 in the luxury SUV. Every chauffeur is trained in child safety and in installing car seats, and the seats go in before the car reaches your Van Nuys door.
Booking and changes
What if I'm not ready when the car arrives?
The first 15 minutes after your chauffeur arrives are free. Running late beyond that? Ring dispatch at (833) 743-3360 so the car is told, and expect the extra minutes to be charged. For an early-morning flight, being packed before the car pulls up keeps you inside the free window.
