My LA vacation is rapidly approaching with only 10 weeks to go.
I'm prepared, finding myself pretty confident travelling in LA alone except on the topic of getting from LAX to the Santa Clarita area. Normally I'd stick to the bus, metro and train systems as its my preferred way to travel but not after a 9 PM arrival.
I thought about using a shared airport shuttle but those reasonably priced (no way am I going past 100 dollars) has such terrible reviews wherever I look. Uber seems like a nice alternative but I've never tried it before. The main concern is waiting time as I'm arriving late enough as it is. I just picture myself waiting for hours before I get to go on my way to my destination. I could order an Uber the day before but then there's possible flight delays that might get in the way.
Before flying with United some years back the airline got crap reviews too, yet it was the best flying experience I've ever had so for all I know using shuttle can be positive as well.
Beyond that though I am severely stoked to finally see southern California. The weeks are flying by. If it's anything like New Orleans it should be a blast.

I've used Uber & Lyft.
They're both pretty fast. Especially if you're at an aiport. Cabbies, uber, lyfts they all line up outside airports waiting for fares.

Cabs line up on the arrivals level downstairs if you choose to take one. LAX is a bit different when it comes to Uber and Lyft. There are 5 rideshare pick up locations on the upper departures level (A,B, C between terminals 1-3, E & F between 5-7). Once you land and have your luggage request your Uber or Lyft driver and go upstairs to the nearest pickup location. Your driver will meet you there for your trip. Fyi, there is a $4 surcharge to all trips leaving LAX that goes directly to the airport. This is in addition to any other fees paid for your ride. Hopefully this helps. |

If you're thinking about getting a ride(that's not a cab or a shuttle) from LAX, only go with Lyft. As far as I'm still aware, only Lyft can go into LAX to pick people up. Uber is still in talks with the airport to allow for access. |

Uber is still in talks with the airport to allow for access. As an Uber driver I can verify that Uber has been able to pick up at LAX since the end of January. |

Go with Lyft. Especially if it's your frist time and you've never used them before, I can give you a code to get a first-time discount.

Thanks for the offers and suggestions, I feel better now. Will definitively avoid the shuttles. Stil haven't decided on Uber or Lyft but I have time to think on it.
