nini Posted January 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2018 We had our first Uber experience today (our adult daughters encouraged us)! We left LAX at 1:50 pm and arrived at the Crown Plaza Hotel in San Pedro at 2:17 pm. It cost $31.67 for the two of us. Traffic was fine, no major hold ups. We signed up for the "private car" otherwise it would defeat the purpose. The driver was very personable and drove safely. Comparisons: Execucar: $65.00 Super Shuttle $37.00 which would be shared with numerous stops. I hope this helps with transportation questions and concerns from LAX to get on your ship in San Pedro (LA Harbor) We will be boarding the Coral Princess in the morning.;p 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nini Posted January 5, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Keith- You bet. I have !earned so much on CC that I wanted to contribute this. Even though we grew up in the LA basin, this was a new adventure and effort for us. Uber is still fairly d's so this may i form others who need to get to the port.

spart02 Posted January 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Just making sure...your UBER was able to pick you up directly from the LAX airport? I know some airports don't allow UBER drivers to pick up right from the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmdchiefthom Posted January 12, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I've made plans for UberXL to pick us up at Union Station in downtown LA and drop-off at the Doubletree in San Pedro. Very reasonable according to my Son who is stationed on the West Coast with the Coast Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banditoo Posted January 14, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Does anyone know if Uber can provide child car seats or booster seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseclan Posted January 24, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Bandit, It looks like you can get a car seat when you request your uber car but it has to be the uberX car and it is $10. You can google uber and car seats and there are step by step instructions. cheeseclan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky61 Posted January 29, 2018 #17 Share Posted January 29, 2018 This website should answer any questions about Uber or Lyft picking up at LAX. https://www.uber.com/airports/lax/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nini Posted January 29, 2018 Author #18 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hi All! We returned a few days ago from our PC full transit out of LA. So I will answer the questions I can: 1) I am not sure if you can book ahead of time. However, we just went into the app when we picked up our luggage and you have the opportunity to make your selection and pay. So, we knew who the driver would be, the license plate, the type of car, and the cost. The app kept us informed of when he would be there. 2) The car was a Nissan sedan so we fit comfortably in the car with our luggage in the back (3 carry on bags and a large bag) 3) Yes, Uber can be right there at LAX and he conveniently picked us up outside right by luggage pick up. Very convenient. There is a sign for this. You can ask an airport staff person where it is located. 4) Yes, you should be able to be taken directly to the Queen Mary in Long Beach. It is just across the harbor from San Pedro. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
