Have any of my fellow So Cal dopers parked long term flying out of LAX. I did some web searching and found several private park and fly locations…I really don’t want to pay $15/day which seems to be the prevailing rate off-airport, especially since I will be gone about 8 days. Do you have any advice? I will be driving in from the inland empire, and the substantial difference in airfare (about $200) justifies the slightly higher parking costs at LAX compared to ONT.
I used this service for about $4/day + bus ticket ($10?): Van Nuys Flyaway
It was much more convenient that I had hoped. No dealing with LAX traffic, parking problems, etc. But I currently live in Santa Clarita, so it was possibly more convenient for me than you.
Another alternative that I find useful is to rent a car online, usually they are pretty cheap online, like $20 a day. Take it to the airport, drop it off, then get one on the way back. I did this from SFO & it cost $44 plus gas… for a 200 mile roundtrip.
If you’ve got a morning flight, I’ve found the Hacienda Hotel’s ‘park and fly’ rate to be very acceptible. It’s a bit deteriorated, but certainly not a fleabag yet, and for $89 you get to sleep in and take the 5-minute shuttle ride the next morning, and you can park for 10 days.
