Local Tips

  • Hollywood is approximately 20–30 minutes by rideshare.
  • BUR is often a smarter rideshare pickup than LAX for trips to Hollywood, Burbank Studios or the Valley — far less surge.
  • The Metrolink Antelope Valley Line and Amtrak Pacific Surfliner stop at the BUR airport station — direct to LA Union Station.
  • Rideshare pickup is on the lower level at the south side of the terminal.
  • BUR rideshare wait jumps when several flights land at once — give it 5-10 minutes after landing for the surge to ease before requesting.
