Los Angeles Airport

Airport travel guide

Hire a car at Los Angeles Airport! Then head to the city and explore some of L.A.’s most iconic neighborhoods—Hollywood, Bel Air, and Beverly Hills. Drive the full length of Mulholland Drive, and take a Universal Studios Hollywood tour to learn about the movie industry.

Check out the attractions and street performers at Venice Beach, or drive your rental to the famous Santa Monica or Malibu beaches. Back in the city enjoy the delicious food at Mexican, Ethiopian, Armenian, and Korean restaurants and the distinct culture of each neighborhood where they’re located.

Los Angeles Airport is roughly the size of eight mid-sized American airports combined. 45,000 people work here. Also, while LAX is the airport’s international code, it is also how the locals call it, pronouncing it “Ehlay X.”

L.A.’s a great destination, but the surrounding regions have more to offer, so why not get a longer-term car rental? There’s a lot to explore in California—mountains, desert, the Napa Valley wine country, and cities like San Francisco and San Diego. You can drive to nearby Las Vegas or discover the Pacific Northwest. You can even pick up your car at Los Angeles Airport and drop it off in a different city. Start planning your adventure now!

Main airlines

LAX is a hub for multiple airlines. This includes American, Delta, United, and Alaska. The low-cost carrier Southwest Airlines also uses the airport as a major hub, while the low-cost Allegiant uses it as a focus city. The airport is also a focus city for many international airlines, including Air New Zealand, Norwegian Ari Shittle, Qantas, and Volaris.

Terminals

There are nine terminals: Terminals 1 to 8 and Tom Bradley International (TBIT). All are connected by a free shuttle bus. There are also pedestrian lines connecting most terminals, but some of the walks can be quite lengthy.

Location

The airport is about 18 miles (30 km) from central Los Angeles. Motorways I-105 and I-110 are the main roads connecting Los Angeles Airport to the city.

Most popular types of hire car

  • Convertibles - starting at £95 per day
  • Large cars - starting at £42 per day
  • Medium cars - starting at £43 per day
  • People Carriers - starting at £96 per day
  • Premium cars - starting at £49 per day
  • Small cars - starting at £42 per day
  • SUVs - starting at £48 per day

Car hire desks

All car hire desks are located away from the airport's terminals. Advantage, Alamo, Dollar, Fox, National, Sixt, and Thrifty are allowed to pick-up and drop-off their customers at the terminals. Each has its own shuttle that will take you to their location. For this privilege, the companies must charge a Customer Facility Charge that will be used to fund a consolidated car hire center in the near future.

All the other car hire companies are required to pick-up their passengers from the Remote Rental Depot. This means the customers of these companies must take to shuttles to reach their locations. At the airport, the customers should take the Economy Lot E shuttle.

Services and facilities

Los Angeles Airport offers nearly as many opportunities to dine, shop, relax, and be entertained as the city itself. All terminals have countless bars, restaurants, and cafeterias, as well as shops and stores. There are banks, currency exchange offices, ATMs, and business facilities. You’ll also find many lounges, medical facilities, spas, beauty services, a lost and found office, and the Flight Path Museum. There is no luggage storage service. The airport offers assistance to travelers with reduced mobility, but you should contact your airline in advance if you’d like this service. You can find more information on the airport's official website.

Nearest petrol station

There are many gas stations near LAX. Which is the most convenient depends on which rental company you are returning a car to. If returning a car to one of the companies located along Century Blvd., then there are at least four stations after the exit from the 405. Of these, the Chevron station closest to the Interstate is the most expensive.

Those renting from a company located north of Century Blvd. will find many stations along Manchester Ave. Note that the ARCO station at the corner of W Arbor Vitae St. and Aviation Blvd. should be avoided due to its significantly higher prices.

We called in advance to ask if we could pick up the car earlier than booked. The gentleman was kind and allowed it. He arrived shortly to pick us up. The process was simple and short. The car was a large Rav4 with apple play that allowed us to use navigation. I have read a few reviews about the building and area being shoddy, however we were only there for maximum ten minutes and It really wasn’t relevant. The car and service were top class. The service could only be made better by having a business watsapp number or a way to call for international travellers without access to cell phone service. That is the only way it could be better. So pleased with the service. I will probably use these guys each time I come to LA from now on.
