Getting around Whittier

Whittier sits between the Los Angeles and Orange County airports, so early flights out of LAX, Long Beach and John Wayne are a common reason to book. Services at Rose Hills are another, with families keeping an SUV or Sprinter van for the day so relatives travel together. Evenings in Uptown, graduation weekends at Whittier College and Disneyland days with visiting family round out the trips people plan here.

Good to know in Whittier

1

For an Uptown pickup, give the corner, such as Greenleaf Avenue and Philadelphia Street, rather than the bar’s name, since several restaurants share the same short blocks.

2

Trips south into Orange County usually join the I-5 through Santa Fe Springs and Norwalk, a stretch that slows on weekday afternoons, so leave extra room for an evening event in Anaheim.

3

Whittier College commencement in May fills the streets around Painter Avenue and the campus, so plan family drop-offs early and agree on a pickup corner just off campus.

Popular drop-offs in Whittier

Uptown Whittier

The historic downtown along Greenleaf Avenue and Philadelphia Street, with older storefronts, restaurants and bars that make an easy dinner-and-drinks outing.

Whittier College

A small private liberal arts college on the hillside next to Uptown, whose graduation and family weekends bring visitors who need rides between campus, hotels and the airports.

Rose Hills Memorial Park

One of the largest memorial parks in the country, set in the Puente Hills off Workman Mill Road, where the grounds are big and hilly enough that the chauffeur should know the chapel or section name in advance.

Whittier Narrows Recreation Area

A large LA County park along the San Gabriel River near SR-60 and Rosemead Boulevard, used for picnics, team sports and big family gatherings, so name the lake or field for the drop-off.

Greenleaf Avenue

Uptown’s main restaurant and bar street, where an hourly booking or a designated-driver ride means nobody in the group has to drive home after dinner.

Questions about car service in Whittier

How far is Whittier from LAX?

Whittier to LAX is approximately 25 miles, typically 32-40 minutes via the 605 to the 105. Traffic on the 605 can be unpredictable, so our drivers monitor real-time conditions.

Do you offer designated driver service in Whittier?

Yes. Uptown Whittier's restaurant and bar scene on Greenleaf Avenue makes our designated driver service a smart choice for residents who want to enjoy a night out without leaving their car behind.

Can you take me from Whittier to John Wayne Airport?

Absolutely. Whittier to SNA is about 22 miles via the 5 or the 57, typically 25-30 minutes. For many Whittier residents, SNA is as convenient as LAX.

Can a car stay with our family for a service at Rose Hills?

Yes. Book hourly from your home or a relative’s house, and the chauffeur stays with you through the service, the procession and any reception afterward. Hourly bookings have a 2-hour minimum (3 hours for a Sprinter van), and a Sprinter seats up to 12 if the family wants to ride together.

What should we book for a family day at Disneyland from Whittier?

It depends on the group: a sedan seats up to 3, a Business SUV such as a Chevrolet Suburban seats up to 6, and a Sprinter van seats up to 12 with extra room for bags. The fixed price is shown before you book, and there is no surge when everyone leaves the park at closing time.

Can you meet relatives flying in for a Whittier College graduation?

Yes. On airport pickups we track the flight, so the chauffeur adjusts if it lands early or late, and meet & greet with a name sign is available at the terminal. You can book the ride straight to campus or to a hotel, then add a separate ride for the ceremony itself.
