Shuttles
Dozens of van, car and limousine companies serve area airports, and
comparing prices is usually worthwhile. At LAX, only SuperShuttle and
Prime Time are allowed to pick up "walk-up" passengers, although you can
schedule a pickup by other carriers. Shuttle fares usually are 30% to
70% cheaper than a taxi for solo travelers, but couples or groups will
find taxis competitively priced and usually faster. Some shuttle
companies offer reduced fares for couples or groups.
Prime Time Shuttle: (800) RED-VANS (733-8267) or (310) 342-7200,

SuperShuttle: (800) BLUE VAN (258-3826), (310) 782-6600, (323)

Taxis
Taxis tend to be more economical for people traveling shorter
distances or riding with others. Avoid "bandit" (unlicensed) taxis; use
licensed cab companies, which often offer flat rates to LAX and can be
found at official taxi stands at each terminal, monitored by airport
employees.
Cabs at those LAX stands must display the official seal of the L.A.
Department of Transportation. A $2.50 surcharge is added to all taxi
fares leaving LAX. Rates quickly exceed $20 a few miles from the
airport, but there is a flat rate of $38 plus a $2.50 airport surcharge
between LAX and downtown L.A., and as many as eight passengers can share
a large cab or van for that charge |
