Thrak Posted March 5, 2019 #26 Share Posted March 5, 2019 At LAX I simply asked where the Uber pickup area is. They pointed it out and that's where I got picked up. Same at the port in San Pedro. I used the Uber app on my phone to get a car. Be sure to enter your actual pickup location as some Uber drivers don't do some of the routes while others do them frequently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that some airports don't allow Uber pick up, only drop off. Do I just order an Uber on my app and then find a designated Uber pick up area? You load the app on your phone so it works wherever you are. Yes it works at LGB. We have used it several times there both to and from. Yes just order on your phone and find the designated spot. Love Long Beach because it is so small! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also prompts you where at LAX to get picked up on the APP as well as signage along the curb on that upper level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliair Posted March 5, 2019 #29 Share Posted March 5, 2019 We had 1 bad experience on Princess shuttle a few years back and I swore never again. On our Panama cruise DH insisted we take the Princess shuttle and I gave in. We had no trouble whatsoever there and back to LAX. I would never take Uber or Lyft, to me it's like getting into a car with a stranger. May as well hitch hike to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because a taxi has Yellow Cab stickers in the side does not mean it is legit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little confused by telling them where my location is. If I come out of Term 3 at LAX and order Uber do they not see where I am on GPS ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenie082756 Posted March 5, 2019 #33 Share Posted March 5, 2019 IMHO, It seems that this topic (transportation) is right up there with the food topic. Everyone has different likes and dislikes. Some prefer Uber or Lift Some prefer Super Shuttle Some prefer Taxi Some prefer Princess bus I think that whatever floats your boat and you feel comfortable with is what you should choose.

Ep010835 Posted March 5, 2019 #36 Share Posted March 5, 2019 There are designated Lyft/Uber pick up locations at airports across the country. All you need do is ask where that is and go there. You’ll have a vehicle description and LP along with name and photo of the driver who will be picking you up. Of the two, Lyft is my first choice. But I’ve never had a problem with either.

pink845 Posted March 7, 2019 #41 Share Posted March 7, 2019 We never fly in the day of a cruise. We always rent a car for (I believe it was $36 dollars for the day) and we then drop it off at the location closest to San Pedro (right beside I believe the Crown Plaza) and they then shuttle us to the pier. Easy peasy and we have the car to go out to dinner and shopping. The drive between the airport and San Pedro is one straight line. No issues.
