About this route

Sherman Oaks sits at the top of the 405's Sepulveda Pass, making LAX access straightforward but traffic-dependent. Our drivers know the pass like the back of their hand — they'll take the freeway when it's flowing and switch to Beverly Glen or Coldwater Canyon when it's not. For frequent flyers, Burbank Airport is just 15 minutes north.

Questions about this ride

How long is the ride from Sherman Oaks to LAX?

Sherman Oaks to LAX is about 20 miles via the 405 South, typically 30-40 minutes. During afternoon rush, the Sepulveda Pass can add significant time — allow 50-70 minutes during peak hours.

Do drivers use Beverly Glen or Coldwater Canyon when the 405 is stuck?

Yes. When the Sepulveda Pass is backed up, Beverly Glen or Coldwater Canyon can get you over the hill to the Westside. Those canyon roads are narrow and winding, so they help mainly when the freeway is truly stopped. Your driver checks live traffic and picks the faster option.

How far ahead of a Friday evening flight should I leave Sherman Oaks?

Friday afternoons are among the slowest times on the 405 south, and the 20-mile drive can take over an hour. For a domestic flight between 5 and 8 PM, a pickup about three hours before departure is a sensible cushion. Leaving before 2 PM avoids the worst of it.

Can I book the ride back from LAX Airport to Sherman Oaks?

Yes. Book it as a separate one-way ride with LAX Airport as the pickup and your flight number, so your chauffeur tracks the landing and meets you with a name sign. The distance is the same, so the fare is about the same as this direction.
