Private transfers from Los Angeles International Airport
Los Angeles International is one of the world's busiest airports and, with nine terminals on a single one-way loop road and a long programme of building works, one of the more confusing to leave. Standard app rides and most taxis now collect passengers at the LAX-it lot beside Terminal 1, reached on foot or by shuttle bus. Pre-booked cars are among the services still allowed to pick up at the terminals.
We run fixed-price transfers from LAX to Beverly Hills and to Disneyland in Anaheim, and quote any address in Los Angeles and Orange County: Santa Monica, Hollywood, Downtown, Pasadena, Malibu and the cruise terminals at San Pedro and Long Beach. The price is per vehicle and agreed before you fly, so a jam on the 405 does not change what you pay.
Arriving at LAX: where to meet your driver
LAX has nine terminals, Terminals 1 to 8 and the Tom Bradley International Terminal, around a horseshoe road with departures on the upper level and arrivals below. Limousines, town cars and private vehicles still pick up at the terminals, on the outer kerb of the lower (arrivals) level outside baggage claim. Your driver messages you when you land and meets you at baggage claim or at the kerb, as agreed. You receive the meeting point and the driver's phone number in advance.

LAX-it and the People Mover
Since LAX-it opened, taxis and standard app rides pick up at a lot next to Terminal 1, reached by a free shuttle from the arrivals level or a walk of up to 20 minutes from the furthest terminals. Some taxis also wait in Parking Structure 3 and beyond Terminal 7.
The LAX People Mover, an elevated train that will link the terminals with the LAX/Metro Transit Center, had still not opened in October 2026, with the latest reports pointing to early 2027. Until it runs, free shuttle buses link the terminals with the Metro station, where the C and K Lines stop, and the economy car parks.
