VNY pickup guide: Van Nuys

How chauffeur pickups work at Van Nuys (VNY), serving Los Angeles: where you are met, what waiting is included, and what to send when you book.

Arriving at VNY

Van Nuys handles private aviation for Los Angeles. Chauffeurs meet the aircraft at the FBO rather than a terminal, so we need the tail number and the FBO name rather than a flight number.

LAX is spread across nine terminals and the arrivals roadway is often gridlocked, so your chauffeur meets you inside at baggage claim and walks you to the car. Burbank is the easier option for the Valley and the studios, and Van Nuys handles most private aviation in the region.

What is included

Flight tracking on every pickup, so a delayed landing moves the pickup with it at no charge. International arrivals include 60 minutes of waiting from touchdown and domestic arrivals 30.

Your chauffeur carries your bags to the car. The meeting point for your terminal is written in the confirmation email.

Getting into Los Angeles

Most journeys from VNY run to Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Downtown LA, Century City and the rest of the metro.

Los Angeles is a driving city where journeys are measured in time rather than distance. Hourly booking works better here than point-to-point for anyone with several stops in a day, whether that is studio meetings in Burbank or a route from Century City to the Westside.

What to send when you book

The tail number, the FBO, the expected arrival window, passenger count and luggage.
