Los Angeles town car rates and pricing
Town car service in Los Angeles costs $100/hr for the Executive Sedan, the everyday town car tier. Step up to a First Class SUV at $120/hr for groups, an S-Class at $170/hr for VIP arrivals, or a Sprinter at $200/hr for parties of 7–14. Every rate locks at booking and never surges — not on Friday at 5 PM on the 405, not during Lakers playoffs, not during Oscars week.
| Vehicle | Hourly rate | P2P min | Capacity | Min hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Executive Sedan (E-Class, CT6, XT6, Lyriq) | $100/hr | from $120 | 3 pax, 3 bags | 2 hr |
| First Class SUV | $120/hr | from $150 | 6 pax, 6 bags | 2 hr |
| Mercedes-Benz S-Class | $170/hr | from $300 | 3 pax, 2 bags | 2 hr |
| Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van | $200/hr | from $540 | 10–14 pax | 3 hr |
- Executive Sedan — $100/hr, the LA town car standard. Daily corporate runs from West LA to downtown, LAX commutes, agent lunches, and partner court appearances.
- First Class SUV — $120/hr, the upgrade for production crews, family LAX departures with luggage, and small-group corporate transport.
- Mercedes-Benz S-Class — $170/hr, the executive flagship for talent arrivals, studio CEO meetings, and Beverly Hilton drop-offs.
- Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van — $200/hr, the workhorse for Coachella shuttles, full production crews, and corporate offsites.
Bottom line: For most LA airport transfers and weekday corporate runs, an Executive Sedan flat rate is roughly 40–60% cheaper than Uber Black during peak hours. Town car service in LA is the predictable choice — same price 6 AM Tuesday or 7 PM Friday.
