How early should you leave for LAX from Orange County?
From most of Orange County, allow three hours before an international departure from LAX and two and a half hours before a domestic one, measured from your front door. The drive itself is roughly 40 to 50 miles and takes anywhere from 55 minutes to over two hours depending almost entirely on what time you leave.

How to choose the right vehicle for your group and luggage
Size a chauffeured vehicle by luggage as well as passenger count. A luxury sedan takes up to three passengers and three suitcases; a full-size SUV takes six passengers and six bags; an executive Sprinter takes fourteen passengers and fourteen pieces. Most booking problems come from sizing on seats alone.

Hourly charter or point-to-point? How to book the cheaper one
Book point-to-point for a defined trip with two stops or fewer — one price, agreed in advance. Book hourly when you have three or more stops, an uncertain finish time, or anything involving waiting. Hourly is usually cheaper as soon as a day has multiple legs, because the vehicle stays with you instead of being re-dispatched.

The guest shuttle is the highest-value booking and the one couples think of last, because it solves parking, drinking and the end of the night in one arrangement.
