How to get a ride from LAX
Get on a shuttle and head to LAX-it
Take an LAX-it shuttle on the arrivals (lower) level curbside. They are expected to come every 5 minutes, and travel time to LAX-it is typically 15 minutes or less. You can also walk from Terminals 1, 2, 7, and 8.
Once in LAX-it
Find your Uber pickup point:
- UberX: either curbs 2, 3 or 4
- Comfort, UberXL, Select and POOL: back portion of curb 2
Note: Uber Black and Uber Black SUV will continue to pick up at the terminal on the outer island curb.
How pickups work for riders
UberX pickups between 8am and midnight will use the new PIN system:
- Request an UberX trip to receive a 6-digit personal identification number (PIN).
- Once in LAX-it, walk to the UberX PIN pickup zone on either curbs 2, 3 or 4, and join the line.
- Share your unique PIN with the first available driver.
- Verify vehicle and driver details before you get into the vehicle.
Pickups for other ways to ride with Uber, or for UberX from midnight to 8am, may be requested normally.
Curbside pickups
If you prefer a more convenient curbside pickup, simply request an Uber Black or Uber Black SUV trip. Then head to your selected pickup point on the outer island curb on the downstairs arrivals level for your pickup.

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.
