Burbank Private Car Service, Done Right
There’s a reason locals fly Burbank whenever they can. It’s small, it’s quick, and it puts you right in the Valley instead of at the far end of the 405. We think your ride from the airport should feel the same way.
Your driver meets you curbside, helps with your bags, and heads straight to your door. It’s a private, non-stop ride for you and your group, not a shared hotel or airport shuttle. And our drivers are our own: company-trained professionals, not whoever happened to accept the ride. Xpress Shuttles has been family owned for two generations, and we still treat every pickup like it matters.
Skip the Rideshare Shuffle
You know the routine. Open the app, watch the price jump, wait on a driver who cancels. With a pre-booked, flat-rate ride, all of that is handled before you board. Grab your bags, step outside, find your driver, and go.

Burbank Airport (BUR) FAQs
What airlines fly into Burbank Airport?
Southwest is by far the largest airline at Burbank Airport (BUR), followed by Alaska Airlines and United, according to the airport’s 2026 passenger reports, and other carriers serve BUR as well. In 2026, Alaska and Southwest both added nonstop flights to Honolulu. Routes change by season, so check your airline’s schedule.
What is BUR airport?
BUR is the airport code for Burbank Airport in Burbank, California, in the San Fernando Valley. Its official name is Bob Hope Airport, and Google Maps lists it as Hollywood Burbank Airport. It’s a smaller, faster alternative to LAX for travelers headed to the Valley, Hollywood, Universal City, Glendale, and Pasadena.
How many terminals does Burbank Airport have?
Burbank Airport is moving to a single terminal. Its new 14-gate, 355,000-square-foot terminal opens on October 13, 2026, replacing Terminals A and B and the original terminal that dates back to 1930. Our drivers follow the airport’s current pickup rules, so you won’t need to figure out the new layout on your own.
Is Burbank Airport better than LAX?
For trips to the San Fernando Valley, Hollywood, Universal City, Glendale, or Pasadena, Burbank Airport is usually the better pick. It’s smaller, quicker to get through, and much closer to those areas. LAX has many more nonstop and international flights. We serve both, plus John Wayne and Ontario. See our LAX transportation.
How far is Burbank Airport from Universal Studios and Pasadena?
Universal Studios Hollywood is about 6 miles from Burbank Airport, making BUR the closest commercial airport to the park. Pasadena is roughly 10 to 15 miles away, and downtown Los Angeles is about 12 miles south. Learn more about our Universal Studios Hollywood transportation.
How far is Burbank Airport from LAX and Disneyland?
LAX is about 25 to 30 miles from Burbank Airport by car, and the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim is roughly 40 miles away. Traffic on the 5, 405, and 101 freeways can stretch either trip, so plan extra time. Xpress Shuttles drives both routes privately and non-stop. Enter your pickup and drop-off locations online for an instant flat-rate quote.
Where is the Uber pickup at Burbank Airport?
Rideshare pickups at Burbank Airport use a designated area outside the terminal, and those curbs and signs are changing with the new terminal opening in October 2026, so follow the airport’s signage and your app. With Xpress Shuttles, your driver meets you curbside at the terminal instead, at a flat rate you booked ahead.
Does Burbank Airport have TSA PreCheck?
Yes. TSA PreCheck lanes are available at Burbank Airport’s security checkpoint, which helps keep BUR’s well-known quick curb-to-gate experience even quicker. Xpress Shuttles runs 24/7 and tracks your flight. Book online and save 7% with code Online7, or call 1-866-381-4510.

What Our Passengers Say
We’ve earned more than 250 five-star reviews on Google and Yelp. Here are a few from fellow Southern California travelers.
“Communication was amazing! My driver, Tom was on time, courteous, kind and a good driver. Best shuttle experience EVER! Update: Tom was my driver for my trip back to the airport. Again, he was on time, a conscience driver. His car was immaculate. I have had many drivers over the years. This is the first time I felt safe and was treated so well”

“Adam was our shuttle driver . He was on time ( even a few minutes early) and was so patient and friendly. He helped us load the many bags, suitcases, and baby gear into the car . He got us right to the terminal after a smooth ride and helped us unload all the stuff ( plus two little kids). It made flying out of LAX so easy. Thank you, XPress Shuttle!”

“I used Xpress Shuttles again on Wed. Aug 24 to go from Irvine to LAX. Christina was the driver this time and she was right on time and very pleasant to talk to. I will continue to use Xpress Shuttles anytime I have to LAX. Just a side note…They will also take you just about anywhere you need to go.”
