Getting around Van Nuys

Private aviation is what sets Van Nuys apart: travelers landing at an FBO who need a car to a Westside hotel or a Beverly Hills meeting, and passengers heading back out for a departure. Valley residents also book airport runs to LAX and Burbank, mornings at the courthouse, and nights out in Sherman Oaks or Studio City with a designated driver or an hourly car.

Good to know in Van Nuys

1

Van Nuys Airport has no airline terminal, so name your FBO when you book, since the private terminals sit around the field with separate entrances.

2

Southbound I-405 through the Sepulveda Pass is the slowest part of most Westside trips from Van Nuys on weekday mornings, so give meetings in Century City or Santa Monica a generous start time.

3

On court mornings, Van Nuys Boulevard and Sylmar Avenue around the civic center are busy, and a curbside drop-off at the courthouse saves the search for parking.

Popular drop-offs in Van Nuys

Van Nuys Airport

One of the busiest general aviation airports in the country, used by private jets and charters, where the chauffeur meets you at your FBO rather than at an airline curb.

The office, dining and shopping center at Ventura and Sepulveda Boulevards, a few minutes south of Van Nuys near the US-101 and I-405 interchange.

Japanese Garden

SuihoEn, the garden at the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in the Sepulveda Basin, reached from Woodley Avenue and a favorite for quiet visits and photos.

Valley Performing Arts Center

The concert hall on the Cal State Northridge campus a short drive northwest, where a drop-off at the venue on show nights avoids the campus parking structures.

Van Nuys Courthouse

Do you serve Van Nuys Airport (VNY)?

Yes. Van Nuys Airport is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the world. We pick up and drop off at the FBOs on the field; add your FBO and expected arrival time to your booking, and your driver meets you with a name sign.

How far is Van Nuys from LAX?

Can the driver wait while I’m at the Van Nuys Courthouse?

Yes. A Sprinter van seats up to 12 and is booked hourly with a 3-hour minimum, which covers dinner in Sherman Oaks or Studio City and a bar or show afterward. Everyone rides together, and nobody has to find parking on Ventura Boulevard.
