How Universal-area delivery works
Hotel, park,
and the drive home.
Most Universal Studios family trips start with an afternoon landing at LAX or Burbank. We meet you at the curb with the SUV cleaned and fueled. See our LAX pickup page or Burbank pickup page for how the airport handoff works. Burbank is the closer airport, about 8 minutes from Studio City; from LAX, plan on 35 to 55 minutes.
If you would rather get the car at the hotel, text us your hotel and check-in time. We drop the car at the entrance about 30 minutes before, leave the keys with the bell desk under your name, and confirm by text. The Hilton Universal at CityWalk is the classic Universal Studios family hotel; the Sheraton Universal at the top of the hill works the same way. The Garland on Vineland is a smaller boutique with an easy, flat driveway. On your last morning we collect the car from the same hotel.
Park day: Universal Studios Hollywood usually opens at 9 a.m., and some hotel and ticket packages include early entry. From the Hilton or Sheraton it is a five-minute drive down to the park structures, so leaving the hotel by 8 puts you at the gate before opening. CityWalk parking can be validated with restaurant or theater purchases if you stay for dinner.

Couples, crews
and business stays.
Studio City is also home to CBS Studio Center and a few minutes from the Burbank studios. The CLE Cabriolet suits a couple; the Camry Hybrid and K4 suit a solo or business stay.
Studio City — the local guide
The studio side
of the hill.
Studio City and Universal City sit just over the hill from Hollywood, which makes them an easy base for a two- to five-day stay. Drive times from the Hilton Universal in light traffic: Hollywood about 10 minutes, Griffith Observatory about 15, Beverly Hills via Coldwater Canyon about 15 (30 at rush hour), Santa Monica about 45, and Disneyland 45 to 75 minutes via the 101 and 5.
Mulholland Drive is a few minutes up Cahuenga, which is why couples staying here often book the CLE Cabriolet for an afternoon drive. For longer family trips, a Yosemite or Big Bear extension is easy to add; see our X7 family-trip guide.
For a stay of a week or more, the weekly discount (10% off 7+ days) applies automatically, and delivery is free on rentals of 14 days or more. Film and TV crews working at the nearby studios can see our production rental page for COI details.
Renters bring their own eligible insurance, or add coverage at booking through our broker partner. We confirm the details when you reserve.
FAQ — Universal City & Studio City rental
Common questions.
- Which Universal City and Studio City hotels do you deliver to?
- The Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City at CityWalk, the Sheraton Universal at the top of the hill, the Tilt Hotel off the 101, The Garland on Vineland, the Hilton Garden Inn on Ventura, Hotel Amarano on the Burbank side, and the smaller hotels along Ventura Boulevard. We hand the car over at the hotel entrance and leave the keys with the bell desk under your name.
- How much is delivery to a Universal-area hotel?
- Hotel delivery is $50, and free on rentals of 14 days or more. Our Van Nuys base is about 12 minutes from the Hilton Universal, so we time the drop to your check-in.
- Can we park the SUV at Universal Studios?
- Yes. Universal Studios Hollywood has large parking structures that fit all three SUVs. The Telluride and X7 are on the bigger side but park easily. General parking is the cheapest option; preferred parking is closer to CityWalk.
- Does the Telluride fit a family of seven plus park gear?
- Yes. The Telluride has captain’s chairs in the second row and a bench in the third row. Two adults can sit in the third row for short drives. Behind the third row there is room for a daypack and a stroller; with the third row folded, there is room for a week of family bags.
- Is the BMW X7 worth the upgrade over the Telluride?
- For some families. The X7 adds a panoramic glass roof, Bowers & Wilkins audio and a quieter cabin, with three rows of real seats. The Telluride is the value pick. If budget matters most, take the Telluride; if the trip is also a celebration, take the X7.
- We are not traveling with kids. What should we rent?
- For a couple, the Mercedes CLE Cabriolet for the drive up Mulholland or out to the coast. For a solo or business stay near the studios, the Toyota Camry Hybrid (51 mpg) or the Kia K4. All of them are delivered to the same hotels.
- Do you include car seats?
- No, but we can install yours if you bring them. The Telluride and X7 have LATCH anchors in the second row, and the Equinox has three-across LATCH on the back bench. See our car seat page for more.
- Can I pick up at Burbank Airport instead?
- Yes. Burbank Airport is about 8 minutes from Studio City. A common plan: pick up at BUR, drive to the Hilton Universal, and we collect the car at the hotel before you fly home.

I had a great experience renting this M3. The car drove incredibly smoothly and had no issues at all during my trip. It also got a lot of compliments — definitely a head-turner. Check-in and check-out were both quick and easy.

Great communication, the car was clean, and the pickup and drop-off at Burbank Airport was easy. Would definitely use them again.
