Corporate Car Service & Rental in Los Angeles

The default

For most of what a company books — an executive in from out of town, a week of meetings across the basin, a director who would rather work than drive — the executive car rental answer is a dark luxury saloon. It parks anywhere, it is quiet enough to take a call from the back seat, and it says nothing at all about the person getting out of it, which is the entire specification.

Colour matters more than badge here. The same car in white reads as a hire; in black it reads as arranged, and black is what we send unless you say otherwise.

The Beverly Hills week

For a few days of meetings in Beverly Hills, the car is the black BMW 7 Series, $230 a day. Ask for it with a driver and the driver is arranged with the car; ask for the keys and it is the same saloon on the same day rate. Say which when you book rather than after, because the two are arranged differently: the car carries its own daily rate, the driver is quoted on top of it, and the whole figure is in writing before anything is committed.

Delivery costs nothing at our four partner hotels — the Beverly Wilshire, the Four Seasons at Doheny, L’Ermitage and the Maybourne — or if you collect from our lot on 2022 S Robertson Blvd, ten minutes south of Rodeo; a Beverly Hills office or house is priced by distance and confirmed before anything is committed. The saloon also carries the more generous mileage band, with the figure for your car written into the booking.

When there are four of you

Two colleagues and luggage, or a client plus their team, and the saloon stops working — not for space in the back but for space in the boot. A full-size executive SUV takes four adults and four cases without anyone holding a bag on their knees between LAX and Century City.

For a whole team moving together, a Sprinter does in one vehicle what three cars do badly, and it keeps the group on one schedule instead of three. Say how many people and how many bags when you enquire and we will tell you which of the three shapes it actually is.

When the brief is a line-up

Some briefs are not one executive and one car. Ten identical SUVs in one colour outside a venue on Saturday morning, so the photographs match. Or a three-day conference where the principal, the board, the delegation and the crew each need a different car, specified down to the trim. A national counter answers both with “or similar” from whatever is on the lot; we start from the specification and find the cars to match it, then hold them as a set.

Every car is priced at its own day rate, or the cheapest of its day, five-day and twenty-one-day blocks over the dates, and the line-up comes back as one quote across the cars on one invoice, with delivery priced per car. Ten cars is ten rates added, held as a set.

How that works — who pays, who drives, who signs — is written out in ten identical cars for the weekend. Send the line-up rather than the dates and it comes back as a list to approve and one number.

The client dinner

Some evenings the point is the opposite — a signing dinner, a visiting principal, a party where arriving matters. That is the night for something with a badge, chauffeured, waiting outside when you come out.

The saloon carries the working days, and the car with the badge carries every evening where the arrival is the point.

Executive car hire: chauffeured, by the hour or the day

The executive car service half of this page runs on two numbers, kept apart on purpose. The driver is from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum; the car carries its own daily rate on top, whatever is printed on that car's page. A driver stays with the party for the whole booking rather than being re-dispatched, so a two-day investor circuit or a five-night awards week is one driver who already knows the itinerary.

Worked on the saloon this page argues for: the black BMW 7 Series with a driver for an eight-hour business day is $1,030, both lines named. A four-hour evening block is $400 for the driver plus the car; the shortest booking is two hours, $200 for the driver. Where the figure sits above that depends on the car — a driver for a Cullinan is a different brief from a driver for a 7 Series — and the whole number is in writing before anything is committed. The chauffeur service page has the rest: hourly hire, part-of-a-booking drivers, and which cars go out with a driver; every car on the ladder, priced for the evening and the day, is on the chauffeur rates page.

A chauffeured business day, all-in

The four cars a company books driven, priced the way the quote prices them. The first row is the driver alone — from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum — and every row under it adds the car’s own day rate to that line, so the evening block is four hours plus the car and the business day is eight hours plus the car. No security deposit on a chauffeured booking.

The driver’s line covers waiting inside the block and fuel; the car’s line is whatever its own page prints on the day. The hourly figure is a floor, so a longer night or a car above these four is quoted the same way — one total, agreed before anything is committed. The same four cars go out with the keys on the day rate alone, which no black-car service can offer.

Flying in: LAX, Hollywood Burbank, Van Nuys

At LAX a self-drive car is either left in the airport parking structure for $75 each way — the free shuttle runs from every terminal — or brought to the terminal and handed over at the kerb, bags in, for $150 each way. A chauffeured pickup puts the driver at arrivals with the name, staged against the flight's actual landing rather than the booking time, so a delay costs nothing.

Hollywood Burbank is the same arrangement at the kerb, priced by distance and quoted before you commit; the terminal is small enough that the car is at the door. Van Nuys, for a party arriving privately, is met at the FBO — by a driver, or by the car itself for the passenger to drive on. Give us the flight or the tail number rather than the time.

The airports’ own pages: LAX ground transportation, Hollywood Burbank ground transport and Van Nuys Airport. For the invoice: IRS Publication 463 is the recordkeeping standard a company’s travel expense has to meet, and it is what the itemised invoice is written to satisfy; the Los Angeles Convention Center for conference weeks.

Key business districts

Where companies book, and what they book there. Each district has a page of its own for the keys; the ones that carry a driven page most often are linked twice.

• Downtown — the courts, the Figueroa towers and the Convention Center as one day: a driven saloon that waits between stops, or the keys parked at the hotel.
• Century City — the law firms and the talent agencies on the Avenue of the Stars: a black 7 Series delivered to the tower for the week.
• Beverly Hills — the keys for the week, delivered without charge to our four partner hotels, and a driver added for the two evenings that matter.
• Santa Monica — the Ocean Avenue offices and the campuses south of Wilshire: an SUV for a visiting team, a driven car for the client lunch.
• Westwood — UCLA and the Wilshire corridor: a saloon for a visiting professor or a board member, for the length of the visit.
• Burbank — the studios with the airport at the door: a car at the kerb against the flight, delivery priced by distance and quoted first.
• Pasadena — Caltech and the Colorado Boulevard offices: a car for the week for a visiting engineer, collected and returned to the hotel.
• Orange County — Irvine, Newport Beach and Costa Mesa inside the same booking as the Los Angeles days, not a second hire.
• The airport — a driver at arrivals with the name, then the two-hour block: hotel, first meeting, dinner.
• The relocation — a month or two for an employee moving in, on the monthly block, billed to the company.

How a corporate booking works

1. One email opens the account. Write to contact@nizoluxury.com with the company name, the billing contact and the names of whoever may book. There is no setup fee, no minimum spend and nothing to sign for a first booking.
2. Anyone on your list books by reply — the assistant, the travel manager, the executive. Dates, addresses, driven or the keys; the itinerary rather than the times.
3. The car and the driver are confirmed: the car by name and colour on its own day rate, the driver from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum, and one total.
4. The invoice goes to the company and is settled before the car is collected. With the keys, the deposit is authorised on a card, as on every rental; on a chauffeured booking there is none.

The business account, in one email

Write to contact@nizoluxury.com with the company name, the billing contact and the names of whoever may book, and the account is open. From then on a booking is a reply, not a form. What the account carries:

• The company billed directly — a corporate card on file, or an invoice to the business settled before the car is collected; never the traveller's own card.
• One invoice per booking, closed before it starts, and for regular travel one statement a month that lists every trip — sales tax shown as its own line so nothing bounces at expenses.
• Several cars on one booking, each driver named, one bill — four engineers for three days is one line on a statement.
• A W-9 to accounts and a certificate of insurance to risk or legal, on request and before the booking starts.
• Your own company policy accepted where it reaches the car — four tests, set out in the questions below — and cover arranged with the booking where it does not.
• Weekly and monthly blocks for a relocating employee or a two-month project; the quote takes whichever combination of day, week and month prices lowest across the dates.
• Delivery to the office, the hotel or the terminal, and a standing arrangement — same car, same driver — for executives who are in town most months.

Billing and insurance, arranged before the first journey

Company billing to a single invoice, agreed before the first journey, with the rate fixed for the whole period rather than recalculated per day. A certificate of insurance goes to your risk or legal contact on request, before the booking starts. The counterparty on the invoice: Nizo Luxury (23 Group Holdings LLC), 2022 S Robertson Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90034 — rated 5.0 from 67 Google reviews. The chauffeured service is commercially insured.

Delivery to the office, the hotel or the terminal, complimentary to our partner Beverly Hills hotels and quoted anywhere else across greater Los Angeles. Chauffeured or keys in hand — decide when you book, because the two are arranged differently. For repeat travel we hold a standing arrangement so the second booking is an email rather than a form.

See the whole Nizo fleet, or send the dates and the addresses to contact@nizoluxury.com — or call +1 (424) 303-6496 and speak to the person who arranges the car — and we will come back with a car and a number.
