Eighteen towns form the airport transfer service areas in Orange County; reserve from any of them
The airport transfer service areas in Orange County run to eighteen towns, from Seal Beach to Mission Viejo and Laguna Beach, and Irvine's villages Woodbridge, Turtle Rock and Northwood each count as a row of their own. The table on this page gives every row's road miles and minutes to the three airports. Find yours, then reserve on the form below.
Whether your ride starts or ends in a listed town, the car comes from one local company, which sets its own fare, confirms in writing and drives. That company owes the desk a flat fee, the same for every company, after each completed ride.
Drive length draws the boundary
The farther a town lies from an airport, the longer the drive and the higher its printed figure. The top one is $235 for the car, one way, an SUV from Mission Viejo to LAX, and every written fare the desk passes on, extras you ask for included, stays within $250 for the car; the area ends where the drives still fit under that ceiling.
Woodbridge, Turtle Rock and Northwood lie farther from every airport than the center of Irvine, so each has its own row, miles, figures and entry in the form's town list. The towns by part of the county:
- North: Anaheim and Orange
- Central: Irvine and its three villages, Tustin, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach
- South: Lake Forest, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Aliso Viejo, Mission Viejo, Laguna Beach
- West: Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Westminster, Seal Beach

Road miles and minutes were measured on September 27, 2026 between each town's center and the airport curb, in free-flowing traffic; the freeway at busy hours adds time.
Reading miles and minutes on the table
Each row counts road miles and the minutes they take in free-flowing traffic, the quickest the drive gets. From the center of Irvine: John Wayne Airport 3.2 miles, about 6 minutes; Long Beach Airport 23.3 miles, about 29 minutes; LAX 43.3 miles, about 54 minutes.
Busy hours add time, most on the longest runs, so when you choose a pickup time for a ride out, leave room for the freeway on top of the table's minutes. For a ride home, the form asks when the flight lands, and the flight number lets the company time its free wait.
Each row's figure by car size is in the town table on every airport page and in the table of every town's figure on the fares page. A figure covers the ride itself and is the most a company may charge through the desk for it; the SUV figure covers an SUV with its third row folded too. Extras you ask for, such as a child seat, an extra stop or a longer wait, go on their own lines on top, and the whole written fare stays within $250 for the car.
Nearer airports, by part of the county
Road distance alone sorts the airports here. From every town in the north, central and south groups, Anaheim and Orange included, and from Fountain Valley and Huntington Beach, John Wayne Airport is the shorter drive. From Seal Beach it is Long Beach Airport, and from Westminster and Garden Grove the two sit so close on the table that either works by road.
LAX is the longest drive from every town on the list, nearest from Seal Beach and farthest from Mission Viejo. Your flight picks the airport; the table shows the road between it and your door. You can book an airport transfer in Irvine or any listed town through the same request form.
Outside the eighteen towns
The town list on the form ends with an entry for another town. Choose it, name the town in the note, and the desk reads that request like any other and replies in writing.
Fare figures set on September 27, 2026, from the fares that car companies in the area publish. A company's written fare for the ride itself, for the same town, airport and car size, is the same or lower; extras you ask for are listed on their own lines.
Reserve with the miles still in view
The table tells you where and how far; the form turns that into a request. Choose the town you found above, and set a pickup time that leaves the freeway some room if you ride at a busy hour.
Phone hours, Pacific Time: in the school year Monday to Saturday 5:30 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. and Sunday 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.; in summer, Thanksgiving week and December 18 to January 3, every day 5:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m.
Pick your town's entry
Irvine's villages have entries of their own, so a Turtle Rock pickup is chosen as Turtle Rock, with its own road miles and figures, and never as Irvine.
