Van Nuys Airport
Van Nuys Airport Car Service — Private Jet Transfers in Los Angeles
Van Nuys Airport isn’t like other airports. There’s no TSA line. No baggage carousel. No crowd of strangers waiting at arrivals. You step off your jet, walk through the FBO lobby, and your driver is already there calm, professional, ready. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to at JM Transportation Services, and it’s the only standard worth having when you’re flying private.
VNY is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the world, handling tens of thousands of private jet operations every year. If you’re using it, you already know the difference between commercial and private travel. Our job is to make sure the ground experience matches the air experience seamlessly.
What Makes Van Nuys Airport Different from LAX?
Van Nuys Airport (VNY) serves exclusively general aviation — meaning private jets, charter flights, and corporate aircraft. There are no commercial airline gates, no Spirit Airlines passengers wrestling with overhead bins, and no shuttle buses. The entire experience is built around discretion and speed. When you land at VNY, you’re done within minutes.
[LAX handles roughly 88 million passengers per year](/airports/lax-airport-car-service/) — and all the friction that comes with it. Van Nuys handles a fraction of that volume, but for a very different kind of traveler. The clientele at VNY skews heavily toward entertainment industry executives, professional athletes, tech leaders, and high-net-worth families. These aren’t people who want to wait. They’re not interested in explaining their flight status to a confused driver circling the loop.
That difference matters when you’re choosing ground transportation.
Who Uses Van Nuys Airport?
VNY sits in the eastern San Fernando Valley, at the intersection of Woodley Avenue and Saticoy Street. That location makes it extraordinarily convenient for clients coming from or heading to a wide swath of Los Angeles that LAX simply doesn’t serve well.
The entertainment industry runs on VNY. Studios in Burbank and Studio City are minutes away. Production facilities in North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks offices, and talent agencies in Century City all route through here. A producer flying in from New York on a Monday morning doesn’t want to land at LAX and sit on the 405 for 90 minutes. VNY puts them in the Valley in under 20 minutes if they have a car waiting.
Professional athletes use VNY regularly for the same reasons. Teams traveling on charter flights, players coming in for appearances, agency clients moving through Los Angeles for events —VNY is quieter, faster, and private.
Based on our service history at VNY, the most common destination corridors are: Sherman Oaks and Studio City (under 10 minutes), Beverly Hills and Century City (25-35 minutes depending on traffic), Calabasas and Malibu (25-40 minutes via the 101 or Mulholland), and Downtown Los Angeles (30-40 minutes via the 405 south or surface streets through the Valley).
Areas We Serve from Van Nuys Airport
Our VNY ground transportation covers all of Los Angeles and Orange County. No zone fees, no hidden surcharges based on destination. The rate structure is simple and transparent.
Common destination areas from VNY include:
Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Encino, Tarzana, Woodland Hills. These are the shortest runs, typically under 15 miles. The route down Ventura Boulevard or the 101 is fast outside peak hours.
Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Brentwood, Century City, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades. These runs typically travel south on the 405. Beverly Hills is roughly 20-25 miles from VNY.
Clients with homes or hotel stays in Malibu come through VNY regularly. The Canyon Road or PCH approach adds some time, but VNY is still the closest major airport to most of Malibu's private estates.
Burbank is practically adjacent to VNY. Pasadena is a straight shot east on the 134 and 210. Both are under 30 minutes in normal traffic.
Downtown is 20-25 miles from VNY. Hollywood is closer, accessible via Cahuenga Pass or the 101.
Some of Los Angeles's most private residential communities sit in the western Valley. VNY is the logical airport choice for residents in Calabasas, Hidden Hills, and Agoura Hills.
We also cover Orange County destinations — Anaheim, Newport Beach, Irvine, and beyond — for longer-range transfers from VNY.
