elsbarre Posted May 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2015 We fly in Saturday to LAX. I was thinking Uber from LAX to Long Beach for a carnival cruise. We land at 11:45 am and have FTTF. Flying in virgin America. We take off at 1:00 pm on May 16. Flying out delta. Should we have an issue with uber? I have never used uber but the price wasn't bad.

SadieN Posted May 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 4, 2015 What's the price Uber is quoting? LAX-Long Beach taxi is around $75, Long Beach to LAX is taxi flat rate $68, shared shuttle is $17/pp. IIRC Execucar is $55 either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VibeGuy Posted May 4, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2015 UberX is restricted to the number of cars they can have pick up from the airport drive in LAX. The ProTip is to take the Lot C parking shuttle and have them pick you up there. Way more cars / shorter wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elsbarre Posted May 4, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I have never used uber. My only fear is landing and not having any cars to take us... I figured worst case we would take a taxi and end up paying more. Not the end of the world I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky61 Posted May 4, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 4, 2015 You can take a town car to Long Beach for less than the cost of a taxi.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plant Posted May 5, 2015 #9 Share Posted May 5, 2015 what service shuttle company is $17 pp from lax to long beach..that sounds like a steal and I am in nor rush. I think it's Super Shuttle they're referring to: (http://www.supershuttle.com/Locations/LGBAirportShuttleLongBeach.aspx) We've used them several times and were very satisfied. You may have to take the "long way 'round", but you'll see parts of LA you wouldn't see otherwise :) ! We paid $17.00 pp from LAX to Long Beach. It took about an hour and a half to two hours.

To each his own, but there is no way I would take a shuttle from LAX to Long Beach.:) For $21 more I take a town car.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long is the drive? Not on a shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky61 Posted May 5, 2015 #14 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Who do you use for a town car? How long is the drive? Not on a shuttle. Whenever we fly into LAX, we always use ontime1.com for transportation to San Pedro or Long Beach. It appears that their rates have gone up slightly to $65 for the vehicle rental Still the only way to go for us, and still way better than a shuttle where you may spend up to two hours traveling. Time from LAX to Long Beach is usually about 35-45 minutes depending on traffic. :) We lived in the area for 35 years so I think my calculations are fairly accurate.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
