Los Angeles Airport to Downtown: Transfers and Taxi
Transfers from Los Angeles Airport to Downtown
The eight air terminals at the famous LAX are always busy with passengers at all times of the day, so getting anywhere from the air hub is usually an unpleasant task. There’s no metro station for direct transport either, but there are even faster and more convenient ways to get to wherever you want in incomparable comfort.
The cream of the crop is through transfer services like Kiwitaxi for that quick and convenient short journey to DLA. Instead of battling with other passengers at the final stop, simply book a transfer on the official website before your flight. Choose the type of car that will transfer you for prices starting from 96 USD, and a licensed driver will be waiting at the terminal to receive you. That way, you are rest assured of comfortable travel from the air hub’s exit to the entrance of your accommodation.
Taxi from Los Angeles Airport to Downtown
It’s always nice to know how much you’ll be charged beforehand, and the taxi fare from Los Angeles Airport to Downtown being at a flat rate of 46.50 USD tends to ease apprehension. However, that flat rate doesn’t tell the whole story.
Be prepared to tip the taxi driver with at least 7 USD, and to pay extra for ‘waiting times’ that starts counting during traffic – which is an everyday occurrence along this super-busy route.
Uber is no better either. Despite being the obviously cheaper option at 30 USD, they now charge added fees for both waiting times and some ridiculous percentage price surges when there is a lot of demand. This surge in price might be between just 30% to more than 150% of the normal price.
Public Transport
The FLYAWAY bus is the cheapest public transport option available in that area. For 9.75 USD, you can get a one-way ticket to Union Station within 36 minutes, if the traffic on the day isn’t too heavy.
The bus tickets are sold in Metrolink automated ticket machines located around the terminals at the air hub. If you can’t buy from the machines for one reason or the other, tickets are sold on the FlyAway buses too. Although, they don’t accept cash. The only disadvantage is the half-hour wait for the bus that only works perfectly for people without much luggage. Otherwise, just take a Green Line shuttle to the Aviation metro station where you can ride the metro that changes once to get you close to the Unity Station all for 1.35 USD.
About the Route
Being an important route, always expect light traffic along the 17.9 miles between the air hub and your hotel.
