Plan your arrival
Universal City to Santa Monica: name both endpoints
A Universal City hotel departure and a pickup after a park visit may use different meeting locations. Enter the hotel address or park departure location, the time your party will be ready, and the Santa Monica hotel or street-accessible destination. The reservation confirms the actual meeting point; the entrance shown in the illustration is not a guaranteed pickup spot.
For a beach visit before hotel check-in, list any hotel bag drop as an additional stop and include strollers, large bags, and advance child-seat requests. Review the vehicle and luggage information on the fleet page and the family travel guidance before booking.
For Santa Monica to Universal Studios, use the reverse-direction button and supply the Universal City hotel or visitor destination for that day. If you also need LAX transfers and Disneyland, compare the four-ride family package instead of treating this $130 single ride as a day of sightseeing.
