Airport Transportation in Burbank
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Hollywood Burbank Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our Burbank airport transportation takes you from Hollywood Burbank Airport to hotels and homes in Burbank and its studios, Universal City, Hollywood, Glendale, Pasadena, the San Fernando Valley and downtown Los Angeles.
Burbank Airport Transfers
Burbank airport transfers start at baggage claim in the new terminal, where your driver meets you as set out in your confirmation, with no wait at the rideshare lot. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and the price for the whole vehicle is fixed before you fly.
Choose a sedan for two, an SUV or a van for a family or group with luggage, and we drive you door to door to your hotel, home or studio in Burbank, Universal City, Hollywood, Glendale, Pasadena or downtown LA. Heading on to Santa Monica, Malibu or Anaheim? Enter your address in the booking form to see whether a transfer is offered.
Burbank Airport Shuttle
Our Burbank airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a shared ride that stops at other hotels along the way. It has room for suitcases, strollers and production gear, and suits families, groups and film crews arriving together.
Landing at Burbank Airport
Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR), also called Bob Hope Airport, is a domestic airport in Burbank, north of Hollywood. Since 13 October 2026 every flight uses one new terminal with 14 gates, entered from Hollywood Way at Winona Avenue; older directions to Terminals A and B no longer apply.
There are no scheduled international flights, so there is no immigration or customs here: travelers from abroad clear US entry at their first US airport. You leave the aircraft outdoors, as Burbank has no jet bridges, and collect your bags in a single indoor baggage claim hall with three carousels.
Burbank is on Pacific Time and changes its clocks for daylight saving time.
US entry
International visitors need a valid passport and a US visa or an approved ESTA. Burbank only has domestic flights, so immigration and customs happen at your first US airport.
Burbank, not LAX
BUR is a separate airport from Los Angeles International (LAX) and from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood in Florida, so check the code on your ticket.
New terminal
The terminal moved in October 2026 and the old Terminals A and B closed, so follow the new signs and your confirmation rather than older maps.
REAL ID for the flight home
Domestic flights need a REAL ID-compliant license, a passport or another TSA-accepted ID at security.

Where will my driver meet me at Burbank airport?
At baggage claim in the new terminal, or at the pickup point named in your confirmation. Burbank has one terminal and one baggage claim hall, so there is no terminal to choose.
How far is Burbank airport from Hollywood and downtown Los Angeles?
The airport is about 3 miles (5 km) from downtown Burbank. Hollywood is roughly 10 miles away, about 20 to 40 minutes by road, and downtown Los Angeles about 15 miles, often 30 to 60 minutes depending on freeway traffic.

How many terminals does Burbank airport have?

Do you drive to vacation rentals and private homes?
Yes. Give the full street address, any gate or access code and the unit number, especially for homes in the hills where streets are narrow and winding.
Can I book a pickup for a late-night arrival or an early flight?
Yes. Give your exact flight time when you book, and the pickup is set for your real landing or departure time.
Should I accept rides from people offering them in the terminal?
There is no need. Booking ahead gives you a confirmed vehicle and meeting point; if someone approaches you, check the company name against your confirmation before getting in.
What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?
We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking so the pickup can be moved.
Can I book a ride back to Burbank airport?
Yes. Book a one-way departure or a round trip, and give your flight number and departure time so the pickup leaves time for check-in and the single TSA checkpoint.
Do I go through customs at Burbank airport?
No. Burbank has only domestic flights, so travelers from abroad clear US immigration and customs at their first US airport before connecting here.
Is Airport Transportation the same as Hollywood Burbank Airport?
No. Airport Transportation is a private transfer booking site for rides from BUR; we are not the airport or its operator. For terminals, airlines and other ways to get around, see our Burbank airport page.
