The easy airport for the studios and the Valley
Hollywood Burbank Airport is the closest airport to the big studio lots, the San Fernando Valley, Glendale and Pasadena. It's also far smaller than LAX, so you're usually off the plane and at the curb quickly. The last thing you want after a short hop from Northern California or Las Vegas is to stand around waiting for a ride.
With RielVIP, your chauffeur is already tracking your flight and waiting when you walk out. Our chauffeurs hold the permits required to pick up at BUR, and you know your price before you book.
A new terminal from October 13, 2026
Hollywood Burbank Airport is replacing its original 1930s terminal. The new terminal is scheduled to open on October 13, 2026. It keeps the same 14 gates, moves baggage claim fully indoors into one hall with three carousels, and gives buses, rideshare and private cars their own curb lanes instead of one shared lane.
Your chauffeur follows whichever layout is in use on the day you land, so you don't need to learn the new terminal before your trip.
How your Burbank Airport pickup works
- Book at least 5 hours ahead. Add your airline and flight number when you book. You'll see your price before you confirm.
- We track your flight. Your chauffeur follows your real arrival time, not the time printed on your ticket. If your flight is delayed by more than an hour, call or text us at (213) 822-7658.
- Choose how you want to be met. Pick curbside pickup or Meet & Greet inside the terminal.
- Take your time at baggage claim. Waiting is free for 30 minutes after you land.
Curbside pickup or Meet & Greet
Curbside pickup is the fastest option when you're traveling light. Walk out from baggage claim to the arrivals curb and your chauffeur pulls up.
Meet & Greet means your chauffeur waits inside the terminal holding a sign with your name, or any text you choose when you book, then helps with your luggage. It's a good choice for first-time visitors, talent and crew arriving for a shoot, and guests you're booking a ride for.
Rides to Burbank Airport
Flying out of BUR? Your chauffeur picks you up at your home, hotel, studio or office and drops you at the departures curb. Burbank is quick to get through, but traffic on the 5, the 101 and the 134 can be heavy at rush hour. Book your ride to arrive about 90 minutes to 2 hours before your flight.
Vehicles for your Burbank transfer
Choose from executive sedans and SUVs, including our Premium SUV and Executive SUV. The seats and luggage space for each vehicle are listed below. Traveling with equipment cases or extra luggage? Pick the vehicle by bag space, not just passenger count.

Burbank Airport car service rates
Your fare is based on the distance of your trip and the vehicle you choose. You'll see the full price before you confirm your booking.

If your plans change, cancel at least 12 hours before your pickup to avoid being charged the full fare.
