Is there a shuttle between Burbank and LAX?

Burbank Shuttle Service Options include shuttle, town car, SUV and limo from quality providers as Supershuttle, Groundlink and Blacklane. The cheapest ride to or from LAX Airport will usually be shared shuttle van.



As of 2026, there is no direct "dedicated" airport-to-airport shuttle between Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) and Los Angeles International (LAX). While several private companies like Prime Time Shuttle or shuttle2LAX offer shared rides that can be booked between the two points, most travelers use the LAX FlyAway bus as the most efficient public option. To do this, you take a short ride from Burbank Airport to Union Station in downtown Los Angeles (using the Metrolink Antelope Valley Line or Ventura County Line), and then board the FlyAway bus directly to LAX. The FlyAway fare is currently around $12.75. Another alternative is using ride-hailing services like Uber or Lyft, which typically cost between $60 and $100 depending on traffic and "surge" pricing. For those looking for the cheapest route, the Metro rail system can connect the two via a series of transfers (Burbank to Union Station, then the D Line to the C Line shuttle), but this is time-consuming and not recommended for travelers with heavy luggage or tight schedules.
