Black Car Service in Los Angeles

What “black car service” means here

A black car is a prearranged, chauffeur-driven luxury vehicle. You book ahead, the trip is assigned to a licensed chauffeur, and the price is fixed when you book rather than set by demand at the moment you need a ride. It is the opposite of hailing an app car at the curb: you know who is coming, in what vehicle, at what time, and what it will cost.

Lux4Rides is a Los Angeles chauffeur company licensed by the California Public Utilities Commission as a charter-party carrier (TCP #40987). That licence is what allows a company to carry passengers for hire in a limousine-class vehicle in California, and it is the first thing worth checking with any car service you are considering.

Real prices, checked in our own booking form

Point-to-point fares are a base fare plus a rate per mapped mile, and they include taxes and fees. On October 10, 2026, LAX to the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills quoted $110 in a Comfort Sedan and $187 in an Executive Sedan, LAX to the Santa Monica Pier $111, and LAX to The Biltmore downtown $122. The full table, for every vehicle, is above.

For a day of meetings or a night out, hourly service starts at $80 an hour for a Comfort Sedan, $120 for a Luxury SUV, $130 for the Escalade Elite, $135 for an Executive Sedan and $175 for a Mercedes Sprinter. Online hourly bookings start at four hours. If the day runs longer, the extra time is billed at the same hourly rate.

• Gratuity is optional. The form preselects 20%, and you can change it before you pay.
• Inside-terminal meet & greet is $60 per booking. Curbside pickup costs nothing extra.
• A child seat or booster is $25 each, per ride.
• Booking a return trip together saves 5%.

For executives, talent and private clients

Many of our clients are people whose schedules and privacy matter: executives between meetings, talent on a press day, families arriving for a holiday, guests of hotels and private residences. The vehicles carry no livery, roof sign or logo. Chauffeurs are full-time, background-checked professionals, and for high-profile bookings the assigned chauffeur signs a non-disclosure agreement before the first pickup; we will also sign your own NDA. The details are on our VIP chauffeur page.

If you book for someone else, as an assistant or a travel manager does, put the passenger’s name and mobile number on the reservation. The chauffeur contacts the passenger directly, and you can follow the same tracking link. Companies that book often can open a corporate account.

Airport pickups without the guesswork

Add the flight number when you book. The chauffeur tracks the flight and times the pickup to the actual landing, so an early or delayed flight is covered. International arrivals include 45 to 60 minutes of waiting after landing for immigration, customs and bags. At LAX, private chauffeurs meet you at the terminal, not at the LAX-it rideshare lot: choose curbside pickup at no extra charge, or meet & greet inside at baggage claim with a name sign for $60. Our LAX car service page has the terminal-by-terminal detail, and this guide explains how the arrivals curb works.

Choosing between a sedan, an SUV and a Sprinter

• Comfort Sedan or Executive Sedan – up to 3 passengers and 3 bags. The quietest ride for one or two travelers, and the lowest seat to step into.
• Luxury SUV – up to 7 passengers and 6 bags. The practical choice for families and airport runs with luggage.
• Escalade Elite – up to 6 passengers and 5 bags, with a higher seat and more presence at an arrival.
• Mercedes Sprinter – groups of up to 14 booked online, with standing headroom and room for equipment. Larger groups and executive layouts are arranged by email. See the Sprinter fleet.
