Re: LAX Long Term Parking Suggestions
I try and avoid the Airport-owned lots. Not sure if it still happens, but there were groups of thieves that would enter the lots at night and spend several hours there, waiting for landing planes to fly overhead and they would then break in to vehicles and help themselves. No one would hear the glass breaking due to the planes' noise. Alarms always trigger with a lot of noise too, so no one paid any attention to them. If you do park there, always ask one of the "attendants" if they "know" of a good spot (have a $20 ready). They'll always pull their car out of a spot right next to the shuttle bus stop for you. |

Last year
about 160 (2 X about 80) for a car to LAX from Victorville and to Victorville from LAX. Large SUV to carry 5 people and Luggage.
Lot C $11 per day X 9 = $99 X2 for 2 cars to carry everything (we have small cars) = 181.

I've gotten $40 one way rentals from Palmdale to LAX or vice versa from Avis, the desk there said it was a common thing to do.
Personally my issue is similar to another poster, I'm not going to take a child seat on a trip where I will never need it and I'm not going to use some funky thing the rental company might or might not have.
Hence I park in Lot C, don't have anything in the car except the car seat and a few flares and never have a problem.

I've used LAX Park Place a few times. I've always been satisfied. They are inexpensive and I've never had to wait long for the shuttle. The shuttle drivers were always very helpful with the luggage. My car has always come back in great shape.
On the negative side, they aren't super friendly. They aren't unfriendly, they just don't say that much is all. Its all business. Their website is a little 1997. You have to make sure you make a reservation to park there. Don't just show up and expect a parking spot. I don't mind any of that. I'll continue to use them.

Update:
Just to let everyone know that I ended up using Auto Airport Parking ( »www.autoairport.com ) and I will definitely use them again. They have covered parking and are very close to the airport.
Their whole staff was very friendly and helpful, from the moment I called them the first time to the time they picked us up at LAX. I left my car there for nearly 18 days for a total of $157.00 which is about $9.00/day with valet parking. I had no problems with the car at all, no scratches or any thing.
I would definitely recommend them.
Thanks to everyone for providing their feedback and experiences on this issue. |
