Getting around Pasadena

Pasadena bookings lean toward airport transfers, with Burbank and LAX both in regular use, and executive cars for visitors staying at The Langham Huntington or the hotels near the Convention Center. Weekends add weddings at the city’s historic venues and gardens, dinners in Old Pasadena, and big days at the Rose Bowl, when parking around the Arroyo is hard to find.

Good to know in Pasadena

1

The Rose Parade closes Colorado Boulevard and much of central Pasadena from New Year’s Eve until the parade ends the next morning, so plan any ride in or out of the city on those dates around the closures.

2

On Rose Bowl game and concert days, traffic around the Arroyo Seco spills onto the I-210 and SR-134, so allow extra time even if your trip has nothing to do with the stadium.

3

For domestic flights, Hollywood Burbank Airport via the SR-134 and Ontario International via the I-210 are often easier drives from Pasadena than crossing central LA to reach LAX.

Popular drop-offs in Pasadena

Rose Bowl Stadium

The Rose Bowl sits in the Arroyo Seco on Pasadena’s west side and hosts the Rose Bowl Game on New Year’s Day, major concerts, and the flea market on the second Sunday of each month.

The Langham Huntington

The Langham Huntington is a historic resort hotel in the Oak Knoll hills near the San Marino line, a frequent base for weddings and out-of-town guests.

Old Town Pasadena

Old Pasadena’s restored brick blocks along Colorado Boulevard, west of Arroyo Parkway, are packed with restaurants and shops and busiest on weekend evenings.

Norton Simon Museum

The Norton Simon Museum stands at Colorado and Orange Grove Boulevards, right where the Rose Parade turns onto Colorado, so its block is closed on parade morning.

Pasadena Civic Auditorium

The Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Green Street, part of the Pasadena Convention Center, hosts concerts and touring shows, and its audience leaves all at once at the end of the night.

Questions about car service in Pasadena

How long does it take to get from Pasadena to LAX?

Pasadena to LAX is roughly 28 miles. In normal traffic, expect 40-50 minutes via the 110 to the 105. During rush hour, it can take 60-90 minutes. Our drivers always factor in real-time traffic conditions.

Do you serve the Caltech and JPL area in Pasadena?

Yes. We pick up anywhere in Pasadena, including the Caltech campus and the JPL area at the city's northwest edge, for airport runs to LAX or Burbank, meetings across LA, or hourly bookings for visiting guests. Airport pickups include flight tracking and a name-sign meet and greet.

Can you provide transportation for Rose Bowl events?

Absolutely. We handle transportation for Rose Bowl games, concerts, and the monthly Rose Bowl Flea Market. Drop-off and pickup are coordinated to avoid the worst of event traffic.

Can you drive our wedding party between The Langham Huntington and a ceremony elsewhere in Pasadena?

Yes. Pasadena weddings often spread across a hotel, a church or garden ceremony and a reception venue, and an hourly booking lets one chauffeur carry the couple and wedding party between them. A Sprinter van seats up to 12 for the wedding party, and a First Class car, a Cadillac Escalade or Mercedes S-Class or similar, suits the couple’s exit.

Can I book a chauffeur for dinner in Old Pasadena and a show at the Civic?

Yes. Old Pasadena and the Pasadena Civic Auditorium are only a few minutes apart, so an hourly booking (2-hour minimum) covers dinner on Colorado Boulevard, the drop-off on Green Street and the ride home. If dinner starts early and the show runs long, two one-way rides with set times may be the simpler choice.

Do you go from Pasadena to the cruise terminals in San Pedro and Long Beach?

Yes. Both terminals are at the south end of the county, so on sailing day allow extra time for freeway traffic through or around Downtown. A Business SUV seats up to 6 with room for cruise luggage, and you can book the return pickup for the morning the ship comes back.

Which airport is closest to Pasadena?

Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) is the closest, about 17 miles (around 25 minutes without heavy traffic). LAX Airport is about 28 miles away and Long Beach Airport (LGB) is about 29 miles away. We pick up from all of them with flight tracking and a name-sign meet & greet.

How much is a car service from Pasadena to Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR)?

A one-way ride from central Pasadena to Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) is about $157 in Business Class, $211 in a Business SUV and $253 in First Class. The exact fixed price for your address is shown before you pay — no surge pricing, and free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
