LAX Airport Transfer Guide
How to get from LAX to Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Hollywood or Downtown LA — without the shuttle shuffle, the surge or the parking receipt.
Private car service vs. rideshare vs. parking
| Factor | Chauffeur (A23) | Uber/Lyft | Park at LAX |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | Fixed, in advance | Surge varies | $25–45/day + gas |
| Wait time | Flight-tracked, at claim | Often at curb, re-location fees | 15–30 min shuttle |
| Vehicle | Licensed, clean, premium | Driver's own car | Your car |
| Driver | Background-checked chauffeur | Gig driver | — |
| Luggage help | Yes, meet & greet | No | No |
Terminals & timing
Most flights land at Tom Bradley International (TBIT) or Terminals 1–8. After landing, exit at baggage claim — where your chauffeur, who has been tracking your flight in real time, is waiting with a name board. From the curb, Beverly Hills is ~20–35 minutes and Santa Monica ~15–25 minutes; Downtown runs through the 110/harbor with a direct route.
Five pro tips
- • Book your pickup before you land — your driver adjusts if your flight is delayed.
- • For meetings, choose the executive sedan and ask for a meet & greet.
- • Leaving for the airport? Add 20 minutes in rush hour (7–10 AM and 3–7 PM).
- • Private-jet arrival? Ask about FBO meet-ups at the fixed-base operators.
- • Keep your referral code handy — 10% off your next ride.
