Altadena to LAX Car Service

Allow about three hours before a domestic morning flight, and treat the run down through Pasadena as part of the journey rather than a warm up. Altadena has no freeway ramp of its own, so the first few miles are surface streets that are already busy by half past seven. Your chauffeur counts that stretch in the pickup time, sets it against your actual flight, and confirms it with you the night before.

South out of Altadena first, on Lake, Fair Oaks or Allen depending on which is moving, then either the 210 west to the 134 and down through the Valley, or the 110 south across the bottom of the city. The freeway choice is made on the morning from live traffic. The surface choice is made in the first two minutes, and it is the one that most often decides whether the trip runs long.

Yes. Steep and narrow streets above New York Drive are ordinary work for us. Tell the office at booking if the turning is tight or the driveway is short, and the driver will know what to expect rather than reversing down a hill in the dark. If you would rather be met at a wider corner nearby, say so and that is arranged in advance rather than negotiated on the morning.

Yes. You are taken to the departures level for your airline and the bags come out at the curb. No parking structure, no shuttle. Tell us who you are flying with when you book so the correct terminal reaches your driver, and the office rechecks it the day before, because airlines do move.

Six passengers with six bags in one full size SUV. Child seats are available: give the office the age of the child when you book and the seat is fitted before the car sets off for you. If you are travelling with something awkward, a bike box or golf clubs, raise it at booking and you will be told whether it fits before the morning.

Yes. The office quotes a flat price at booking and that is the amount you pay, whatever the surface streets and the 210 do on the day. No meter, no surge. That figure is for the vehicle and the chauffeur, up to six passengers. CPUC regulated, TCP #45621-A.

Yes. Curbside Rides is a licensed black car and chauffeur service, TCP #45621-A. Your ride is pre-booked at a flat rate with flight tracking and no surge.
