LAX Taxi to long beach - Flat Rate?

[Northern Bear]

I read there is a flat rate system for airport cabs now but can't find anything to back that up.

 

Does anybody have any insights?

Never heard about one. It can be close to an hour drive. I doubt any taxi would take that on a fixed rate.

I think the closest thing to a flat rate would be to take an Uber and make sure you like the estimated fare before you get in. Cant think of any taxi that does a flat rate anywhere and wouldn't really want to chance it on a meter in that sort of traffic. 

 

If we don't rent a car in LA we usually use Uber and the estimates are very reliable.

There are flat rate taxis at other airports (JFK,MIA,etc.)but I have not seen them at LAX.

I  have just learned that the flat rate is to a small number of hotels in downtown LA.

Yellow Cab has flat rates from LAX, but only to Downtown LA, West Hollywood and Santa Monica.

Taxi from LAX to Long Beach Cruise Terminal is approx. $70.  Uber & Lyft are approx. $40.
