Why Choose Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) for Group Travel?
For anyone traveling to Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, or the northern neighborhoods of Los Angeles, Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR)—affectionately known to locals by its former name, Bob Hope Airport—is the premier choice. Located conveniently on North Hollywood Way, BUR is significantly less congested than LAX, offering a more streamlined experience for groups. However, "less congested" doesn't mean "logistics-free."
Choosing BUR puts you minutes away from major attractions like Warner Bros. Studios, Universal Studios Hollywood, and the corporate headquarters of Disney and ABC. For groups, this proximity means less time sitting in traffic on the I-5 and more time engaging with your destination. When you book a charter bus rental with Charter Bus Rental Company Burbank, we maximize this advantage. We track your flight status in real-time, ensuring that whether you arrive early or face delays, your motorcoach is staged and ready.
The smaller footprint of BUR allows for quicker deplaning and baggage claim retrieval compared to larger international hubs. This efficiency is ideal for corporate groups on tight schedules or wedding parties arriving for a weekend celebration. These drivers are intimately familiar with the layout of BUR, ensuring that once you grab your bags, the transition to your private shuttle is smooth and stress-free.
Designated Charter Bus Loading Zones at BUR
Navigating the curbside regulations at Hollywood Burbank Airport requires professional expertise. Unlike personal vehicles or rideshare apps which struggle for space in crowded pickup lanes, charter buses and commercial vehicles have specific protocols to follow to ensure passenger comfort and traffic flow. When you rent a bus with Charter Bus Rental Company Burbank, you don’t have to worry about reading the signs or dodging traffic—we handle it for you.
For larger motorcoaches, pickups are coordinated at the designated commercial transport islands located just outside the baggage claim terminals. Because BUR consists of two terminals (Terminal A and Terminal B) that are easily accessible from the main curb, your group won’t have to hike long distances. However, because curb space is at a premium, precise timing is essential. Your driver will likely stage the bus in a holding area nearby—such as the designated commercial holding lot—until your group has gathered their luggage and is ready at the curb.
Communication is key. We provide you with your driver's contact information prior to your trip. Once your group has cleared the baggage carousel, a quick call or text to your driver signals them to pull up to the designated loading zone. This "swoop and scoop" method minimizes wait times and keeps airport traffic officials happy. Whether you are arriving with a sports team carrying heavy equipment or a corporate group with briefcases, drivers assist with loading luggage into the undercarriage bays, getting you seated and into the air-conditioning within minutes.
Navigating Van Nuys Airport (VNY) for Private Group Flights
Burbank is synonymous with the entertainment industry, and that often means private aviation. Just a short drive west of Burbank lies Van Nuys Airport (VNY), one of the world's busiest general aviation airports. VNY is the preferred landing spot for executives, celebrities, and production teams who fly privately to avoid the hustle of commercial terminals. Charter Bus Rental Company Burbank offers specialized executive transportation services for these VIP arrivals.
Pickups at Van Nuys Airport differ significantly from commercial airports. Security protocols often allow for tarmac-side pickups or transfers at private FBOs (Fixed Base Operators) like Signature Flight Support or Clay Lacy Aviation. Our team is well-versed in coordinating with FBO staff to ensure your charter bus or sprinter limousine is positioned correctly for a seamless transfer.
We understand that privacy and discretion are often paramount for groups utilizing VNY. These drivers maintain the highest level of professionalism, ensuring a secure and private environment from the moment you step off the plane. Whether you need a sleek sprinter van for a small executive team or a full-sized coach for a touring entourage, we ensure the vehicle matches the caliber of your flight experience. We can transport you directly to the studio lots in Burbank, luxury hotels in Beverly Hills, or straight to a location shoot in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Transfers Between Burbank and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
While we always advocate for flying into BUR when visiting Burbank, we know that flight availability and international connections sometimes make Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) a necessity. The journey from LAX to Burbank involves navigating some of the most notorious freeways in the country, including the 405 and the 101. This transfer can be daunting for out-of-towners, but for Charter Bus Rental Company Burbank, it’s just another Tuesday.
We provide reliable airport transfer shuttles between LAX and Burbank for groups of all sizes. Instead of splitting your group into five or six different rideshares and hoping everyone arrives at the hotel at the same time, a private charter bus allows you to travel together. This is efficient for logistics and budget, often saving money per head compared to peak-time rideshare surges.
At LAX, the pickup procedure for charter buses is strictly regulated. Buses pick up from the lower level (Arrivals) at designated pillars. Because the "LAX Horseshoe" can get gridlocked, having a driver who knows exactly which lane to use and which pillar corresponds to your terminal is invaluable. Once onboard, your group can relax in reclining seats, use the onboard WiFi to check emails, or simply rest after a long flight while we handle the traffic northbound to Burbank.
Streamlining Corporate Arrivals and Departures in Media City
Burbank is a company town, home to giants like Warner Bros. Discovery, The Walt Disney Company, and hundreds of post-production houses and media tech firms. Corporate travel is the lifeblood of this city. Charter Bus Rental Company Burbank specializes in corporate event transportation, offering a level of service that reflects the professionalism of your organization.
If you are flying in a team for a conference at the Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel or a series of meetings in the Media District, first impressions matter. A private shuttle bus waiting for your team sends a message of organization and care. We can arrange for greeter services, manifest management for large conferences, and recurring shuttle routes between the airport and local offices.
Our fleet includes vehicles equipped with productivity amenities essential for business travel. Power outlets at every seat allow your team to charge devices en route. Onboard WiFi means the workday doesn’t have to pause just because you are in transit. For executive teams, our sprinter vans offer a boardroom-like atmosphere with leather seating and privacy. We work with your travel coordinators to ensure that every flight arrival is accounted for, handling delayed flights and early arrivals with flexibility and grace.
Luggage Logistics: What Our Buses Can Handle
One of the biggest advantages of renting a charter bus for airport transfers is the luggage capacity. If you are traveling with a production crew, a sports team, or a wedding party, you likely have more than just a carry-on. Standard rideshares and rental cars simply cannot accommodate 50 suitcases, equipment cases, or garment bags.
Our full-size charter buses (seating 56 passengers) come equipped with massive undercarriage storage bays. These compartments are designed to hold luggage for every passenger on board, plus extra equipment. Are you a band flying into Burbank for a gig? We have room for your instruments. A film crew with camera gear? We can stow it safely.
For smaller groups, our minibuses (seating 18-35 passengers) often include rear luggage compartments or overhead bins. When booking your bus, be sure to let our reservation specialist know the estimated luggage count. If you have an excessive amount of gear—such as for a trade show or a sports training camp—we can recommend a larger vehicle or even a dedicated luggage truck if necessary, though a standard motorcoach is usually sufficient. Your driver will assist in loading and unloading the bays, ensuring that your belongings are stacked securely for the journey.
The Charter Bus Rental Company Burbank Difference: Reliable & Timely Service
In the world of airport transportation, timing is everything. A late pickup can mean a missed meeting, and a late drop-off can mean a missed flight. At Charter Bus Rental Company Burbank, we take punctuality seriously. We recommend scheduling your pickup with a buffer, but we also proactively manage the schedule on our end.
These drivers arrive at the staging area early, ensuring they are ready the moment you step out of the terminal. We utilize modern GPS systems to monitor traffic patterns in the San Fernando Valley, routing around accidents on the I-5 or congestion on Hollywood Way to get you to your destination as efficiently as possible.
Beyond timeliness, we offer a level of customer support that apps cannot match. Our reservation team is available 24/7/365. If your flight gets diverted at 2:00 AM, you can call us. If you need to add a last-minute stop at a grocery store before heading to your hotel, let us know.

Frequently Asked Questions About Burbank Airport Transportation
Where will the driver meet us at Hollywood Burbank Airport?
Due to security regulations and limited curb space, drivers cannot park and wait directly at the terminal curb for extended periods. Your driver will stage the bus in a designated commercial holding lot nearby. Once your group has collected all luggage and is ready at the curb outside of baggage claim, you will call or text your driver. They will then pull around to the designated commercial vehicle loading zone (often the center island curbs) to pick you up. Our reservation team will provide you with specific instructions and the driver's contact info prior to your trip.
Can you handle flight delays?
Absolutely. We ask for your flight information (airline and flight number) when you book your reservation. Our dispatch team tracks your flight status in real-time. If your flight is delayed, we adjust the driver’s schedule accordingly to ensure they are there when you actually land. We offer a grace period for landing, but please keep us informed if your flight plans change significantly (such as a cancellation or a flight change) so we can update your reservation.
How much luggage can we bring on a charter bus?
A standard full-size charter bus (56-passenger) has extensive undercarriage storage capable of holding one standard suitcase and one carry-on bag per passenger. If you are booking a minibus, luggage space varies by model. Some minibuses have rear storage compartments, while others are designed for short shuttles with minimal luggage. When booking, please be honest and detailed about your luggage needs—especially if you have oversized items like golf clubs, film equipment, or musical instruments—so we can match you with the correct vehicle size.
Do you offer service to LAX from Burbank?
Yes, we frequently provide transfers between Burbank (and the surrounding San Fernando Valley areas) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). We can pick your group up from your hotel, office, or home in Burbank and take you directly to your terminal at LAX. Conversely, we can pick you up at LAX and bring you to Burbank. We recommend adding extra buffer time for this trip due to the unpredictable nature of Los Angeles traffic, particularly on the 405 freeway.
How far in advance should we book an airport shuttle?
We recommend booking your airport charter bus as soon as you have your flight details confirmed. For peak travel times (holidays, summer, and major local events), booking 3 to 6 months in advance is advisable to ensure availability and the best pricing. However, we understand that business travel can be unpredictable. We can often accommodate last-minute bookings, so don’t hesitate to call us at 626-619-7805 even if your trip is just around the corner.
