LAX to Downtown Los Angeles Group Shuttle
One Vehicle, One Pickup, Straight From LAX to Downtown and the Convention Center
Connecting between LAX and Downtown Los Angeles with a group usually means a string of rideshares, a pile of luggage, and someone running late. LA Bus Service runs private group shuttles from LAX to Downtown and the Los Angeles Convention Center: one vehicle sized to your headcount, one pickup time, and everyone arrives together.
It's a drive east across the city, usually well under an hour in light traffic and much longer at rush hour or on event nights. We track your flight, plan around traffic, and send a Sprinter van, mini coach, or motor coach to match your group. Need a different route? See our group airport transfer or airport shuttle page.

The Drive From LAX to Downtown Los Angeles
Most trips run east from LAX on the freeways into Downtown. Rush-hour traffic can add a lot, and event nights at the arena make it worse, so your departure time matters more than the mileage. Our dispatch team watches live traffic and picks the best route on the day.
Los Angeles Convention Center Groups
Conference and trade-show attendees flying into LAX can ride one vehicle to the Los Angeles Convention Center or nearby hotels with their luggage, instead of splitting into rideshares. For larger events we can run more than one vehicle to cover groups landing on different flights.
Hotels and Event Nights
Downtown hotels fill up for conferences and for concerts and games downtown. We drop your group at the hotel entrance with their luggage, and leave extra time on event nights when the streets around the venues back up.
Corporate Teams and Union Station
Corporate teams with Downtown offices, and groups connecting at Union Station, can take one vehicle from the LAX terminal instead of splitting up. See our charter bus rental in Downtown LA page for trips once you're in the city.

Flight Tracking and Pickup Timing
We track your arriving flight and adjust the pickup if it lands early or late, so your driver is there when your group is. For the trip back to LAX, we work backward from your flight time to set the pickup.
One-Way or Round Trip
We book one-way and round-trip transfers between LAX and Downtown Los Angeles. Many groups book both directions in one reservation so the whole schedule is set in advance.
Booking Ahead
For groups under 20 people, a few days' notice is usually enough. For 20 or more, or during conference season, book 2 to 4 weeks out. We operate 24/7, including holidays, so early-morning and late-night flights are fine. Ready to book? Get a free quote.
