Good to know in Studio City

1

During Halloween Horror Nights in September and October, evening traffic backs up around the Universal City exits on the 101, so allow extra time for rides heading east past Universal.

2

Laurel Canyon Boulevard is the direct line to West Hollywood but it is two winding lanes over the hill, so at rush hour your chauffeur may use the 101 and Highland Avenue instead.

3

For a talent pickup with wardrobe bags or equipment cases, book a Business SUV rather than a sedan so everything rides in the back.

Popular drop-offs in Studio City

CBS Studio Center

The lot on Radford Avenue just north of Ventura Boulevard runs on production hours, so bookings tend to be early calls and late wraps; reserve to your call time and the chauffeur works back from it.

Tujunga Village

The short strip of cafes and boutiques on Tujunga Avenue is walkable and low-key, an easy place to be dropped for brunch and collected afterward.

Ventura Boulevard dining

Studio City’s stretch of the Boulevard is known for its run of sushi restaurants, often called Sushi Row, and a ride home lets the whole table enjoy dinner without a designated driver.

Sportsmen's Lodge

The Shops at Sportsmen’s Lodge, at Ventura Boulevard and Coldwater Canyon, is an open-air shopping and dining center and a handy stop on an hourly errand run.

Fryman Canyon

Trails here climb from the Studio City flats up to Mulholland Drive, so a drop-off at one end and a pickup at the other saves doubling back on a hike.

Questions about car service in Studio City

How far is Studio City from Burbank Airport?

Studio City to Burbank Airport is only about 6 miles, typically a 12-15 minute drive. It's the closest major airport for Valley residents and we provide full meet-and-greet service there.

Do you provide car service to CBS Studio Center?

Yes. We drop off and pick up at the CBS Studio Center gate on Radford Avenue, including early call times. If you're on the drive-on list, note it in your booking; otherwise the drop is at the gate.

Can I get a ride from Studio City to Downtown LA?

Absolutely. Studio City to DTLA is about 11 miles via the 101, typically 20-30 minutes. We also know the Cahuenga Pass and Barham Blvd alternatives when the freeway is backed up.

Can I book a car for a full day of studio meetings in Burbank and Hollywood?

Yes. An hourly booking keeps one chauffeur with you from the first meeting to the last, whether that means Warner Bros. in Burbank, Universal City, or offices in Hollywood and Santa Monica. Hourly service has a 2-hour minimum, and a Business Class sedan is the usual pick for one or two people.

Can I book a car for an awards-season party or premiere in Hollywood?

Yes. Hollywood is just over the Cahuenga Pass from Studio City, and an hourly booking keeps the car nearby while you’re inside, so there’s no waiting in a rideshare line when the event lets out. A First Class Cadillac Escalade or Mercedes S-Class is the usual choice for arrivals, and it’s wise to book early from January through March, when events stack up.

Can you take my family to Universal Studios Hollywood for the day?

Yes. The park is just east of Studio City, so the drive is short; book a drop-off and a separate pickup, or keep the car on an hourly booking if you’re heading on to dinner. A Business SUV seats up to 6, and a Sprinter van takes up to 12 for bigger family groups with a 3-hour minimum.
