Arrival tips for Hollywood Burbank Airport

All scheduled flights at Burbank are domestic, so there is no immigration or customs on arrival. If you are flying in from abroad, you clear US immigration and customs at your first US airport before connecting to Burbank.

Aircraft park on the apron and you walk down stairs or a ramp and across to the terminal, as Burbank has no jet bridges, so have a jacket handy on cool or wet days. Follow the signs to baggage claim, a single indoor hall with three carousels in the new terminal that opened in October 2026.

Outside the terminal, rideshare apps pick up at a dedicated lot near the terminal, rental car shuttles run to the rental car center across Hollywood Way, and the Burbank Airport-North Metrolink station is reached on foot or by an on-demand shuttle. Directions written before October 2026 that mention Terminal A, Terminal B or the Thornton Avenue entrance are out of date. Pre-booked drivers meet passengers at baggage claim or the pickup point in their confirmation.

Ground transportation

A rideshare or pre-booked car suits most travelers with luggage; Metrolink works well for downtown Los Angeles and Union Station.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked driver meets you at baggage claim or the pickup point in your confirmation and goes door to door. Easiest for families, groups and late arrivals.

  • Rideshare from Burbank airport

    Uber and Lyft pick up at the dedicated rideshare lot near the new terminal. Follow the signs from baggage claim; waits can grow when several flights land together.

  • Taxi from Burbank airport

    Licensed taxis wait at the ground transportation area outside the terminal. Door to door, with no app needed.

  • Metrolink from Burbank Airport-North

    The station is linked to the terminal by a walking path and an on-demand shuttle. Antelope Valley Line trains run to downtown Burbank, Glendale and Los Angeles Union Station, but not around the clock.

  • Rental cars

    Shuttles run from the terminal to the consolidated rental car center across Hollywood Way, where the main companies have their counters.
