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.

The cost of an Uber trip to (or from) LAX depends on factors that include the type of ride you request, the estimated length and duration of the trip, tolls, and current demand for rides.

You can see an estimate of the price before you request by entering your pickup spot and destination in Uber’s price estimator above. Then, when you request a ride you’ll see your actual price in the app based on real-time factors.

Pickup locations may depend on the type of ride you request and the size of the airport. Follow the instructions in the app about where to meet your driver. You can also look for signs that point to designated airport ridesharing zones.

The airport code LAX stands for “Los Angeles.” The first 2 letters signify the city abbreviation “LA”; the “X” was apparently added randomly when airport codes changed from 2 letters to 3 in the middle of the 20th century.
