How expensive are taxis from LAX?

Taxis from LAX are relatively expensive due to mandated airport surcharges and high traffic levels in Los Angeles. The cost is metered, but there is a minimum flat rate for most longer trips out of the airport area. Expect typical fares to central locations like Downtown LA or Santa Monica to range from $40 to $60, not including tip. Taxis operate from the centralized **LAX-it lot**, requiring passengers to take a free shuttle from the terminals to meet their cab.
