Executive protection transportation across Los Angeles, from Bel Air to Malibu
P1 drives executives, families, and their guests across Los Angeles, from Bel Air and Beverly Hills to Santa Monica and Malibu: security professionals based in the city, in unmarked, equipped luxury SUVs, with pickups linked to the flight at Van Nuys and a 24/7 operations center behind every trip.
A security professional at the wheel
Drivers from law enforcement, the military, or executive protection, trained in protective driving and emergency medical response.
An equipped, unmarked vehicle
A late-model luxury SUV with a trauma kit, an AED, secure Wi-Fi, and a Principal Kit, and nothing on the outside that draws attention.
Live tracking for your team
Assistants, pilots, and family you authorize follow the vehicle in real time, with an update at each milestone.
A 24/7 operations center
Every trip is monitored from the advance brief to the final drop-off, and any change is handled immediately.
How P1 runs trips in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is served to the P1 standard, with drivers who live in the region and whose knowledge of the Westside, the canyons, and the Valley is recorded and verified. Here P1 works for family offices with homes in Bel Air, Holmby Hills, and Malibu, for corporate security teams moving executives between Century City and the studios, and for the assistants and flight departments who plan an awards-season week or a weekend in the desert.
Many private flights into Los Angeles land at Van Nuys, with Hollywood Burbank and, for Orange County, John Wayne also in use, and the driver is staged before the aircraft lands. In a city where every stop is a drive, the driver and vehicle stay with the principal for the day: a meeting in Century City, lunch in Brentwood, shopping on Rodeo Drive, a visit to a studio, dinner in the Hollywood Hills, and the drive home to Malibu or Hidden Hills, with the vehicle waiting at each stop.
Wildfire shapes planning on the Westside and along the coast. Pacific Palisades is rebuilding after the January 2025 fire, and that year the Pacific Coast Highway and entry to the burn zone required passes. Fires can close roads in the hills and on the coast with little warning, so operations follows fire and closure information for every trip in those areas, plans around the roads that are closed, and tells your team when a route or a time changes.

A driver and vehicle for the whole day in Los Angeles
Most members book P1 by the hour rather than by the ride. From the first pickup to the last drop-off, the same driver and vehicle stay with the principal through meetings, errands, lunches, and dinners.
- Booked by the hourReserve the driver and vehicle for the day, or for the hours you need. The vehicle stays with the principal instead of dropping off and leaving.
- Staged at every stopWhile the principal is in a meeting, a shop, or at dinner, the driver waits nearby at the right entrance, ready to leave when the principal is.
- Plans that changeAdd a stop, change the destination, or keep the vehicle longer from the app. Each change is priced and approved on the spot, and operations updates the driver.

Every pickup is linked to the flight, so an early, late, or diverted arrival re-times it automatically, and the driver is staged before the aircraft lands.
When Los Angeles gets busy, and what we plan around
- January to March
Awards season: the Golden Globes in January, the Grammys in February, and the Oscars at the Dolby Theatre in March, with parties and screenings filling the evenings in between.
- February
The Genesis Invitational at Riviera and Frieze Los Angeles at Santa Monica Airport share the month with the Grammys, and in February 2027 Super Bowl LXI comes to SoFi Stadium.
- April
Coachella fills two weekends in Indio, and the drive to the desert is booked as an intercity trip, with the driver staying for the weekend or returning afterward.
- Early May
The Milken Institute Global Conference brings investors and executives to the Beverly Hilton for several days of meetings and dinners.
- September
The Emmys bring a second, shorter awards season of red carpets and after-parties.
- July to August 2028
The LA28 Olympic Games in July and the Paralympic Games in August are expected to bring security perimeters and road closures around the venues, and planning for those weeks starts well ahead.
Hollywood Boulevard around the Oscars
Hollywood Boulevard closes from Orange Drive to Highland Avenue for about 12 days around the Oscars while the arrivals area is built and taken down. Trips near the Dolby Theatre in that period are routed around the closure, and the brief names the drop-off point for the night.
Late-night limits at Van Nuys
Van Nuys has strict noise rules that limit late-night jet operations, so a flight planned to land late may need another airport. Operations confirms the arrival plan with the flight department ahead, and the pickup follows the aircraft to whichever airport it uses.
Santa Monica Airport's scheduled closure
Santa Monica Airport is scheduled to close at the end of 2028, which will move its private flights to Van Nuys and LAX. Arrivals that once landed on the Westside itself will come in farther out, and P1 plans them with the route for the day in the brief.
What the Movement Brief covers in Los Angeles
The people you designate receive a one-page brief before each trip, naming the driver and their credentials, the vehicle and its verified equipment, and the operations contact, with the local details below.
- The arrival airport (Van Nuys, Hollywood Burbank, or John Wayne), the FBO, and the meeting point, with the alternative airport if late-night noise rules apply to the flight
- The route and drive time for the day, including the drive over the hills from Van Nuys, any fire closures on the coast or in the canyons, and event closures around Hollywood
- Where the vehicle is staged at the residence, hotel, studio, or venue, and the gate or entrance the driver will use
- The driver and their credentials, the vehicle and its verified equipment, and the operations contact for the trip
Between a car service and a full protection detail
Most trips do not call for a protection detail, but they deserve more than a chauffeur. P1 adds protective capability to everyday travel in Los Angeles without the footprint, minimums, or cost of a full detail.

Yes. Many private flights into Los Angeles land at Van Nuys (VNY), and P1 also meets aircraft at Hollywood Burbank (BUR) and, for Orange County, John Wayne (SNA). The pickup is linked to the flight, so a change in arrival time re-times it, and the driver is staged before the aircraft lands, at the aircraft where the FBO allows it and otherwise at the FBO door.
Yes. Most members book P1 by the hour, so the driver and vehicle stay with the principal from the first meeting to the last dinner, staged at each stop and ready to move when the principal is. Stops can be added or the vehicle kept longer from the P1 app, with each change priced and approved on the spot.
Van Nuys has strict noise rules that limit late-night jet operations, so a late arrival may be planned into another airport instead. Operations confirms the plan with your flight department ahead, and the pickup follows the aircraft wherever it lands, with the new meeting point sent to your team.
Los Angeles has no shortage of car services, and their drivers are chauffeurs trained for hospitality. P1's drivers are security professionals, typically from law enforcement, the military, or executive protection, trained in protective driving and emergency medical response. Each trip has an advance brief and live tracking, and a 24/7 operations center follows it from pickup to drop-off.
Drivers are armed where lawful and appropriately licensed. Armed capability is the last resort; the protective value of a P1 driver lies in the planning, the awareness, and the driving.
Yes. From the Golden Globes in January to the Oscars at the Dolby Theatre in March, the drop-off and pickup points for each show are set by the event, and Hollywood Boulevard closes for about 12 days around the Oscars. Operations confirms the arrival plan ahead, the brief names where the vehicle is staged, and the driver stays with the principal through the after-parties.
Yes. Montecito is 1.5 to 2 hours from Los Angeles, and Palm Springs and Indio are 2 to 2.5 hours, so these drives are booked as intercity trips, with the driver staying with the principal or returning afterward. For Coachella's two April weekends, sending the plan early lets operations arrange the staging and a second vehicle for guests or luggage.
Yes. The people you authorize see the vehicle in real time and get an update at each milestone, so an assistant in Century City knows the principal has left the airport without calling anyone. Pilots receive a crew link that shows where the vehicle is staged and when the passengers are on their way back to Van Nuys, without destinations or family details.
Vehicles are unmarked, with no branding, livery, or signage, and drivers wear business attire rather than a chauffeur's suit and cap, so nothing about the car marks the arrival at a restaurant or a hotel. There are no name boards at the FBO, every driver signs a nondisclosure agreement and the Code of Conduct before the first trip, and a tracking link shows the principal's name only if you allow it.
P1 is offered through membership rather than by the ride. P1 Membership begins with a minimum $25,000 prepaid annual service commitment, and the full amount is available toward eligible P1 services, in Los Angeles and every other market. The rate schedule is shared after a membership request.
