LA Auto Show Visitor FAQs
Visitors General FAQs
The 2024 LA Auto show takes place Friday, 11/22, through Sunday, 12/1
Each year, LA Auto Show invites every major automaker across the globe to participate in our spectacular showcase held in the nation’s top car-buying market. Please visit https://laautoshow.com/automotive-brands/ to see a complete list of automakers.
Every year hundreds of brand new makes and models are displayed at the LA Auto Show including concepts and vehicles making their global debuts; and in the Atriums, you’ll find more incredible displays unique to the show.
In The Garage aftermarket showcase and throughout the show you’ll always discover an amazing mix of customs, classics, lowriders, exotics, race cars, and more.
Test drives happen every day at the LA Auto Show, inside and out! Enjoy test drives and rides across all areas of the LA Convention Center, allowing you to experience dozens of different makes and models! Visit our test drives page closer to the show dates to see the full line-up and locations!
Yes! Vehicles will be open similar to previous years where attendees can sit inside and take a closer look at their top choices. Select vehicles may not be open as it is up to each automaker which vehicles they unlock and allow attendees to sit in.
Weekdays, especially Monday-Wednesday, and early mornings are typically the least crowded times to explore the show. On the weekends the VIP Early Entry ticket is a great way to get on the show floor before larger crowds show up.
We offer wheelchairs, strollers, and electric scooters as well. We have two locations—one at the main West Lobby entrance and one at the main South Lobby entrance. Both will be to right, right immediately of the open entry. They are first come, first served, and cannot be reserved in advance. More details and pricing will be available closer to the show.
