First Class is a licensed ground-transportation operator providing pre-booked driver service in Los Angeles, California. Los Angeles is the largest city in California and the second largest in the United States, spread across roughly 500 square miles of Los Angeles County, with an approximate population of 3,820,000 according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates. Every ride is reserved in advance, quoted before you confirm, and driven by a background-checked driver in an inspected, insured vehicle.

Unlike on-demand ride hailing, a rideshare transfer is a scheduled reservation: the car and driver are held for your pickup time, the fare is fixed at booking, and the price does not move with surge pricing, weather or traffic. Reservations must be placed at least 4 hours before pickup so a driver can be dispatched and briefed.

When Los Angeles passengers book us

Demand in Los Angeles is driven by studio call times, award-season arrivals, convention traffic at the LA Convention Center and red-eye departures from LAX. Airport transfers are priced on distance and estimated duration with a minimum fare per trip; hourly booking starts at a two-hour minimum and suits multi-stop days where the schedule keeps changing. Both are available in Los Angeles seven days a week, including public holidays and overnight hours.

Vehicles, pricing and payment

Choose the vehicle class that matches your party and luggage — standard sedan (up to 3 passengers, 3 bags), executive sedan, SUV (up to 6 passengers, 6 bags) or Sprinter van (up to 14 passengers). Every quote shows seat and luggage capacity before you commit. Your card is charged for the quoted fare at booking, so the ride is paid before pickup. Extras added during the trip — an added stop, extra waiting time, a child seat or a cleaning fee — appear as separate line items and are approved by digital signature before the final charge. Corporate accounts are billed to a monthly invoice instead of a card.

Cancellation and changes

Cancel more than 2 hours before pickup for a partial refund. Cancellations inside 2 hours of pickup are non-refundable, because the vehicle and driver are already committed to your booking. Rides booked to an incorrect address are not refundable, which is why the booking form asks you to confirm the address before payment. Date, time and address changes are free when requested more than 4 hours ahead of pickup.
