Private chauffeur transportation to and from Hollywood Burbank Airport with flight monitoring, professional drivers and coordinated airport pickup.
About Hollywood Burbank Airport
Hollywood Burbank Airport sits in the San Fernando Valley, minutes from Burbank's studio lots and a short drive from Universal City, Studio City, Glendale and Pasadena. For anyone working or staying north of the hills, it is usually the faster, calmer alternative to LAX.
It is a compact airport. Terminals are close together, walking distances are short and the ground transportation area is straightforward, so arrivals tend to move from gate to curb far more quickly than at a large international hub.
That efficiency is why the entertainment and corporate travel community leans on BUR: shorter connections between the aircraft and the car, and easy access to the studio corridor without crossing the city.

Chauffeur Service
Private Transportation to and from Hollywood Burbank Airport
ELS provides pre-arranged chauffeur transportation between BUR and studio lots, production offices, hotels, private residences, corporate offices, meetings and events across the Valley, Los Angeles and beyond.
Studio and production travel has its own rhythm: early calls, changing schedules and talent or executives who need discretion. Our chauffeurs work to a confirmed reservation, hold for schedule changes where possible and keep the arrangement quiet.
Luxury sedans suit single executives and short Valley runs; Cadillac Escalade ESV SUVs handle luggage-heavy arrivals; Sprinters cover crews, production teams and larger groups moving together.

Arrivals
Arriving at Hollywood Burbank Airport
BUR's compact layout means passengers usually reach the ground transportation area quickly after landing, so we time the chauffeur's approach closely to your actual arrival.
Pickup location depends on terminal, airport regulations and the type of service reserved. At smaller airports, professional chauffeur pickups are sometimes coordinated through a designated area or short-term parking rather than the immediate curb. Your chauffeur or ELS dispatch will confirm the meeting location before pickup.
If you prefer to be met inside rather than at the vehicle, request Meet & Greet at the time of booking.
Departures
Departing from Hollywood Burbank Airport
Your chauffeur coordinates the departure pickup around your airline, terminal, departure time, traffic on the 134 and 101, your own preference and the arrival time your airline recommends.
Because BUR moves quickly, some passengers choose a later pickup than they would for LAX — but we will not guarantee travel times, and we plan with a sensible buffer for Valley traffic.
Drop-off takes place at the permitted departure location for your airline, in line with current airport regulations, with luggage assistance at the curb.
Meet & Greet
Meet & Greet at Hollywood Burbank Airport
Meet & Greet may be requested at BUR when available and permitted. Your chauffeur coordinates the appropriate meeting point and may use a discreet personalized name sign — or, for talent and executives, no sign at all.
All meeting procedures follow current airport regulations. ELS does not promise access to secure or restricted areas of the airport.
