How to get a taxi or Uber at LAX?
To get a **taxi or Uber at LAX**, you must proceed to the centralized pick-up area known as the **LAX-it lot**. Neither service is permitted to pick up passengers directly at the terminal curbside. Passengers must take a free shuttle bus (available outside the arrivals level) or walk from nearby terminals to the lot. Once at the LAX-it lot, you can then request a taxi from the queue or meet your pre-booked Uber in the designated zone.
Ascend in Motion offers a superior alternative to waiting for a taxi or Uber at the LAX-it lot. Our private LAX Car Service provides direct curbside pickup in the commercial lane, eliminating the need for the shuttle bus entirely. Our professional chauffeurs meet you at the arrivals level. We are fully licensed with the LAWA permit and operate under CPUC License: TCP, guaranteeing efficient and premium LAX airport transfers.

Hotel shuttles at LAX typically pick up passengers at designated stops on the Upper/Departures Level, marked with red signs that say “Hotel Shuttles.” The specific location can vary, so it is best to check for these signs outside your terminal. Ascend in Motion provides a more convenient option by offering direct curbside pickup on the Lower/Arrivals Level. This allows you to bypass the need to take a shuttle and go directly to your hotel or destination.
