Private Transportation to Catalina Express Terminals
Traveling to Catalina Island involves more than purchasing a ferry ticket. You must reach the correct mainland terminal, manage your luggage, complete check-in, and be ready before boarding ends.
Prearranged Catalina Express transportation gives you a private vehicle reserved for your journey. Instead of depending on a shared shuttle or requesting a ride at the last minute, you can schedule your pickup according to your ferry departure.
FEO Transportation offers pickups from:
- Los Angeles International Airport
- Long Beach Airport
- John Wayne Airport
- Hollywood Burbank Airport
- Ontario International Airport
- Hotels in Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Anaheim
- Private homes and vacation accommodations
- Offices and business locations
- Other approved Southern California destinations
Our car service to Catalina Express provides direct transportation without unnecessary stops for unrelated passengers. Your chauffeur can also assist with loading and unloading standard luggage.
Airport to Catalina Express Transportation
FEO Transportation provides private airport to Catalina Express service from major Southern California airports. We can arrange transportation from:
- LAX to Long Beach or San Pedro
- Long Beach Airport to the Golden Shore terminal
- John Wayne Airport to Long Beach
- Hollywood Burbank Airport to either terminal
- Ontario International Airport to Long Beach or San Pedro
Before reserving your ride, check whether your ferry departs from Long Beach or San Pedro. The two terminals are in different locations, and driving time will depend on your airport, traffic conditions, and time of day.
When arranging Catalina Express transportation, allow time for leaving the aircraft, collecting checked luggage, meeting your chauffeur, traveling to the terminal, and completing ferry check-in.
LAX to Catalina Express Terminal
Passengers arriving at Los Angeles International Airport can reserve private LAX to Catalina Express terminal service. Your chauffeur will transport you directly from the airport to the Long Beach or San Pedro location shown on your ferry reservation.
Southern California traffic can be unpredictable, particularly during weekday commuting hours, weekends, holidays, and major events. Your pickup should therefore be planned with an appropriate travel-time allowance.
Share your airline, flight number, arrival time, ferry terminal, sailing time, passenger count, and luggage details when requesting a quote. This information allows FEO Transportation to plan your airport transfer more effectively.
Learn more about airport pickups on our LAX chauffeur service page.
One-Way, Round-Trip and Hourly Transportation
Every itinerary is different. FEO Transportation offers flexible Catalina Express transportation based on your schedule.
One-Way Terminal Transfer
Reserve direct transportation from an airport, hotel, home, or business to the Long Beach or San Pedro terminal. One-way pickup is also available after your ferry returns to the mainland.

Hourly Chauffeur Service
If your plans include hotel check-in, dining, shopping, sightseeing, business appointments, or several stops, ask about hourly chauffeur availability. Y
Long-Distance Transportation
A private transfer to Catalina Express can be arranged from locations beyond Long Beach and Los Angeles. Provide your complete pickup address when requesting availability and pricing.
Hotel Pickup and Drop-Off
Many visitors stay in Southern California before or after traveling to Catalina Island. FEO Transportation provides Catalina Express terminal transportation from hotels in Long Beach, Downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, Anaheim, Orange County, and surrounding communities.
Your chauffeur can collect you from the hotel and transport you directly to the correct ferry terminal. When you return from the island, we can take you from the terminal to your hotel, airport, residence, or next destination.
Hotel transportation is especially convenient for passengers carrying luggage or visitors unfamiliar with the distance between their accommodation and the terminal.
If you are staying near Orange County, our John Wayne Airport chauffeur service may also be relevant to your travel plans.

- Individuals and couples
- Families traveling with children
- Senior passengers
- Small private groups
- Business and corporate travelers

Plan for Ferry Check-In and Boarding
Catalina Express recommends arriving at least one hour before departure to allow time for check-in and boarding.
