We are a chauffeured car company at 1338 S Grand Ave in downtown Los Angeles; Pasadena is a short drive up the Arroyo Seco Parkway. We plan Pasadena trips around its calendar, from New Year's Day to graduation season.
PASADENA LIMO SERVICE
Pasadena Limo Service & Party Bus Rental
Pasadena sits about 10 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles, reached via the I-210 or the Arroyo Seco Parkway — California's first freeway, completed in 1940, and still one of the more scenic ways into the city. Its mix of a stadium, two research institutions and a historic shopping district keeps our bookings varied.

LIMO SERVICE IN PASADENA
Pasadena Limo Service & Transportation
Los Angeles Limo Service drives Pasadena for the big days and the everyday ones: Rose Parade mornings and Rose Bowl events, Caltech and JPL visitors, weddings at historic venues and dinners in Old Pasadena. Sedans, SUVs, stretch limousines, Sprinters and party buses, 24 hours a day, with the full price confirmed before you book.
The Rose Bowl Stadium hosts the Rose Bowl Game every New Year's Day and the Tournament of Roses Parade, and the Rose Bowl Flea Market has run every second Sunday of the month since 1967 — both are recurring sources of group bookings for us, since parking anywhere near the stadium on those dates is its own ordeal. Old Pasadena, the original 21-block commercial district downtown, and Bungalow Heaven, a neighborhood of roughly 800 small Craftsman homes built between 1900 and 1930, give the city two very different historic characters within a few miles of each other.

ABOUT PASADENA
Getting to Know Pasadena
Pasadena from the driver's seat: drive times, event days and the pickups that need extra planning.
About Pasadena
Caltech and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory anchor Pasadena's research side, alongside Pasadena City College, and make business and academic travel a steady part of our work here. The Norton Simon Museum, the Pasadena Museum of History, and the Pasadena Playhouse — California's official State Theater — cover the cultural side, with the 1913 Colorado Street Bridge as one of the city's most photographed landmarks.
A stretch limousine or party bus suits a Rose Bowl event or a formal evening at the Playhouse; a sedan or SUV covers Caltech/JPL business travel or an Old Pasadena dinner. Tell us your plans and we'll confirm the vehicle and price.
Around Pasadena
Pasadena's mix of a major stadium, two research institutions, a historic shopping district and several museums means the city rarely has a single "typical" booking for us — which is why we always confirm your specific destination and event timing rather than quoting off the city name alone.
Planning your Pasadena ride
The Colorado Street Bridge and the surrounding Arroyo Seco corridor are also a popular backdrop for private events and photography sessions, adding another category of booking beyond the Rose Bowl and Old Pasadena requests we see most often.
Drive times from Pasadena
Typical times, depending on traffic: downtown Los Angeles 15 to 30 minutes, Hollywood Burbank Airport 20 to 35, Disneyland 40 to 70, and LAX 45 to 90.
For airport departures we add extra time on weekday afternoons, when the 110 and the 405 slow down.
Weddings and celebrations
Pasadena weddings often move between a church or garden ceremony and a hotel or historic-hall reception, such as the Langham Huntington or Castle Green. We schedule the couple's car and the guest shuttle together, so nobody waits on the curb.
For anniversaries and birthdays, a stretch limousine to dinner in Old Pasadena or on South Lake Avenue is a classic, and the Huntington in neighboring San Marino makes a beautiful daytime stop.
