MinnesotaCruiser423 Posted June 8, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hey guys, I have done a few searches but everything I have found on this subjects immediately turns into a discussion on shuttles. My question is does anyone know the recent rate it costs to take a taxi for two from the Port of Long Beach to LAX? Thanks in advance!

Rare PatriciaF Posted June 9, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I thought I'd be helpful and call Long Beach Yellow Cab to see if they have a flat rate--after being on hold for 5 minutes I hung up. Glad I didn't need a cab! SuperShuttle offers a private transfer service. The service where someone waits with a sign with your name is $95; the one where you call and they pick you up is $58.

My question is does anyone know the recent rate it costs to take a taxi for two from the Port of Long Beach to LAX? Thanks in advance! Matt It's a flat rate from the port to LAX. This picture was taking one year ago (nearly to the day). I was inside a LB Yellow Cab. Someone had posted a similar picture on the forum from the year previous to the time I took this picture. Rates had gone up $5 bucks. This should give you a ball park for taxi service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted June 10, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Check the rate in that sign where it says Queen Mary to LAX. That's probably the closest to the Port of LB (I didn't see it listed, but then I'm pretty tired). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had the Coast hotel on there, which by then it had already changed over to Hotel Maya. Many of the taxi cabs have signs/ads on top of the cars that advertise the flat rate to the airports.

New_KS_Cruiser Posted July 7, 2010 #7 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Can anyone tell me how many people with 1 piece of luggage each can fit in the taxis? Are they all the same size?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaCruiser423 Posted July 7, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I have have fit 3 people in a regular town car cab with 1 checked size bag each. Typically though it is as easy to get a mini van as it is to get a car. You just need to tell the attendant outside which you prefer. To the best of my knowledge car or mini van the price is the same. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyAgain Posted July 7, 2010 #9 Share Posted July 7, 2010 The leg area in the backseats of most of the taxis is painfully small. It makes for an uncomfortable long ride. We also had to plead with the driver to turn on the a/c. He did and then shut it off after 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downsized Posted July 7, 2010 #10 Share Posted July 7, 2010 You might also consider a Limo. We were a party of nine in March, and most folks here insisted that we and our luggage would not fit in a Limo. I searched around and found "Gamma". The fellow there insisted that we would be fine, and we were. Nine of us and our luggage from LGB to Crowne Plaza for about $120.00 (another $20, or so, for tips, even though they were incuded.) The driver even drove by the Queen Mary for us and refused anything additonal! A new stretch Limo, with a wet bar, sodas for the kids, and a short box of Bud for me! Although we've only used them one time, they provided excellent service, and I would never hesitate to use them again. A tad bit more than jamming into a shuttle, but it was a very nice trip!

CruisinChris Posted July 10, 2010 #11 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I got a quote today for $74 for a town car from LAX to the Hotel Maya in Long Beach. I think that's acceptable rate - an no waiting or crowding on a shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
