How to get a ride from LAX

Request when you’re ready to walk outside

And choose a ride option that suits your group size and luggage storage needs.

Riders should wait until they have their luggage and are ready for pickup to request, as drivers cannot idle at the curb at LAX.

Exit on the right level

Riders requesting UberPool, UberX, UberXL, and Select should meet their driver on the departures level.

Riders requesting Uber Black, SUV, or Lux should meet their driver downstairs on the arrivals level.

Meet your driver curbside

On the departures level, meet your driver at one of the 7 “Ride Service” pickup signs located curbside lettered A to G.

On the arrivals level, select your terminal and nearest door number, and your driver will meet you curbside.

If you need to confirm your pickup location, contact your driver through the app.
