MarkBearSF Posted February 20, 2021 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2021 We just booked a cruise out of San Pedro on the Ruby Princess on August 28, 2021. We'll be flying down to LAX. I'd like to pre-arrange a transfer between the airport and San Pedro pier (both directions). Does anyone have a recommended car service for LA?

Heidi13 Posted February 21, 2021 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2021 We used Uber Black. Didn't pre-book, just called when we picked up the bags and they were there in 5 mins. For regular Uber, you have to take the shuttle to the taxi area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepCalmBearOn Posted March 21, 2021 #5 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I would select Uber Black so you can get picked up curbside and not have to go to the pick-up (LAX-it) lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CineGraphic Posted April 9, 2021 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Opoli is a nice alternative to Uber and lift with no surge pricing increases. https://www.opoli.com/#/search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAX now has a new feature, LAX-it (pronounced LA exit) where everyone must go for a cab, uber, opoli or lyft. You can walk or take one of the shuttles that arrive every 5 minutes. https://www.flylax.com/lax-it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, black car service and executive car service are one in the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opoli has a black car service as well, they call it "executive" and the price is much better than Uber. I just priced a trip from LAX to the Westin in Long Beach. For pick-up right now, Uber wants $96 for black car service, Opoli is $55. Both can pick up at the terminal.

I think curbside is essential for cruisers because they usually have more and bigger bags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this I think we will book them for our cruise in December. I have an absolutely terrible sense of direction and have not flown into or out of LAX in years. Will the curbside pick up be easy to find? Well marked lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is color coded and I am sure the driver will have your cell number so it should be pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great! I know there should be signage in the airport just want to make sure we exit in the right place so we're not back tracking or sprinting 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
