Per vehicle, not per passenger
One fare covers the car and the chauffeur up to the seat limit. A family of five pays the same Luxury SUV fare as a couple; the Sprinter price is for the whole van.

Quick answer
How much does an LAX car service cost?
A one-way ride from LAX is priced per vehicle: the base fare plus the route miles times the per-mile rate, from $80 plus $2.40 per mile in a Comfort Sedan, or $100 plus $3.00 per mile in a Luxury SUV. For the 15.5-mile ride to Santa Monica that is $117.20 in a Comfort Sedan and $146.50 in a Luxury SUV; to Disneyland (34.7 miles) $163.28 and $204.10. Fares include taxes and fees and are shown in full before you pay; chauffeur gratuity (20% pre-selected, adjustable) and any extras you add come on top.

Rates by vehicle.
One-way transfers use the base fare plus the per-mile rate; hourly service uses the hourly rate. Rates are per vehicle, not per passenger.

How a fare is built.
The booking page runs this calculation for your exact addresses and shows the result before you pay.
One-way fare = base fare + route miles × per-mile ratePlus the per-ride amount for Executive Sedan $25. Plus the long-distance amount when a ride is over 150 miles (Luxury SUV +$175, Executive Sedan +$120, Escalade Elite +$265). Then the extras you choose, then gratuity.
Distance sets the price
The booking page maps the Google route for your exact pickup and drop-off and multiplies the miles by the per-mile rate. Time in traffic does not change a one-way fare; hourly service is billed by the hours booked.
Rides over 150 miles
A fixed long-distance amount is added in some vehicles (Luxury SUV +$175, Executive Sedan +$120, Escalade Elite +$265) and is already inside the quoted fare. Example in arithmetic only: a 160-mile ride in a Luxury SUV is $100 + 160 × $3.00 + $175 = $755.
Round trips
Add the return in the same reservation and the return ride is 5% less. The outbound ride is charged at its full fare, child and booster seats are charged on each ride, and Meet & Greet once.
Stops
One-way rides allow 1 stop. Each leg is priced as its own one-way fare at the vehicle rate and the legs are added together. For several stops, book by the hour.
Event zone
One-way pickups inside the Inglewood event zone (SoFi Stadium, Kia Forum, Intuit Dome area) carry a $75 event fee and drop-offs $50, shown as its own line at checkout. Hourly bookings never carry it, and for stadium events we recommend hourly service.
Charged at checkout
The total shown at checkout is the amount charged when you tap Pay: fare, extras and the gratuity you selected. The reservation is confirmed once that payment completes. There is no late-night, weekend or holiday surcharge in the fare engine.

How the distances were chosen: the median route distance of paid past bookings matching each route (read-only from our reservation records); routes marked "sample distance" had fewer than three matching trips and use the stated sample. Your address, the date and traffic set the live route, so your quote can differ. Fares are per vehicle, one way, before the optional gratuity and before extras.

(424) 209-8001How much does a car service from LAX cost?
A one-way ride from LAX is priced per vehicle: the base fare plus the route miles times the per-mile rate, from $80 plus $2.40 per mile in a Comfort Sedan, or $100 plus $3.00 per mile in a Luxury SUV. For the 15.5-mile ride to Santa Monica that is $117.20 in a Comfort Sedan and $146.50 in a Luxury SUV; to Disneyland (34.7 miles) $163.28 and $204.10. Fares include taxes and fees and are shown in full before you pay; chauffeur gratuity (20% pre-selected, adjustable) and any extras you add come on top.
Is the price per vehicle or per passenger?
Per vehicle. The fare covers the car and the chauffeur up to the seat limit (Comfort Sedan 3, Luxury SUV 7, Executive Sedan 3, Escalade Elite 6, Mercedes Sprinter Van 16); adding passengers within the limit does not change it.
Is the fare a flat rate?
The fare is fixed when you book, with no meter and no surge, but it is not one flat price per city: it is the vehicle base fare plus the Google route miles for your exact addresses times the per-mile rate. Two addresses in the same city can quote differently.
What surcharges can apply?
A per-ride amount built into every quote for Executive Sedan $25. A long-distance amount on one-way rides over 150 miles: Luxury SUV +$175, Executive Sedan +$120, Escalade Elite +$265, already included in the quoted fare. A disclosed event fee of $75 for pickups and $50 for drop-offs inside the Inglewood event zone (SoFi Stadium, Kia Forum, Intuit Dome area), shown as its own line at checkout. There is no late-night, weekend or holiday surcharge in the fare engine.
Is a round trip cheaper?
Add the return in the same reservation and the return ride is 5% less; the outbound ride is charged at its full fare. Child and booster seats are charged on each ride; Meet & Greet is charged once.
When is my card charged?
At checkout, when you tap Pay. The total shown at checkout is the amount charged, including the gratuity you selected and any extras, and the reservation is confirmed once that payment completes. A saved quote is not a reservation.
Can I add a stop?
One-way rides allow 1 stop. Each leg (pickup to stop, stop to destination) is priced as its own one-way fare at the vehicle rate and the legs are added together. For several stops, hourly service is the right booking.
How much are child seats, and which vehicles take them?
Child seats are $25 per seat per ride and boosters $25 per seat per ride, up to 3 of each, installed by your chauffeur before pickup. Seats fit the Escalade Elite, Luxury SUV and Mercedes Sprinter Van. The Comfort Sedan and Executive Sedan cannot be booked with a car seat; the booking form greys them out as soon as you add one, so the family fare starts with the Luxury SUV.
What about tolls, airport fees and taxes?
The booking form adds no tax, airport-fee or toll line at checkout: the fare, the extras you choose, your gratuity selection and, where it applies, the disclosed event fee are the only lines. For anything outside the fare, see our booking terms.
How are hourly bookings priced?
Hourly rate times the hours booked, from 4 hours online in blocks of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15 hours; the Executive Sedan per-ride amount is added once. Time beyond the hours booked is billed at the same hourly rate.
