Car service to Griffith Observatory
Griffith Observatory sits high on Mount Hollywood in Griffith Park, one of the most recognizable buildings in Los Angeles. Admission to the building is free, and visitors come for the exhibits, the planetarium shows, the telescopes and, above all, the views: the Hollywood Sign, Downtown LA and the city stretching to the ocean. The one thing nobody enjoys is getting there. The road up is narrow and winding, parking at the top is limited, and at sunset the line of cars can back up a long way down the hill.
A RielVIP chauffeur takes care of it. You're picked up at your hotel or home, dropped at the top, and picked up again when you're ready. You see your price before you confirm.
How a visit works
- Check the observatory's website for current hours and planetarium show times before you book.
- Get dropped at the top. Your chauffeur drives the road up and drops you by the observatory, so there's no hunting for a space.
- Take your time with the exhibits, the terraces and the view.
- Meet your chauffeur at the agreed pickup point when you're done, or text when you're ready.
Sunset and evening visits
Sunset is the most popular time to visit, with the city lights coming on below you, and it's also when traffic on the hill is worst. With an Hourly booking, your chauffeur waits nearby, so you can stay for the lights and the telescopes without worrying about the drive back down in the dark.
Make it a Hollywood day
Griffith Observatory is minutes from Hollywood and Los Feliz. Add the Walk of Fame, the TCL Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Sign viewpoints, a concert at the Greek Theatre, or dinner on Hillhurst Avenue to the same Hourly booking. It's one of the best ways to show visitors the city in a single day.

Rates
Your fare is based on the distance of your trip and the vehicle you choose, or on the number of hours for Hourly bookings. You will see the full price before you confirm. Tolls, parking and airport fees are only added when they apply, and they are shown to you before they are charged. Prepaid bookings already include a minimum gratuity. If your plans change, cancel at least 12 hours before your pickup to avoid being charged the full fare.
