| LAX Long Term Parking Suggestions
Hi Group,
Taking some time off out of the country with the family to visit friends and family in late July. I am driving from San Diego and want to leave our car in a long term parking lot near LAX Total time about 18 days.
Any personal recommendations or suggestions?
Thanks, CDMA
PS: Happy 4th! |

| lots of coupons online... just search LAX parking. I used the yellow dot place once. They had nice padded dividers between the cars.
If you are going to be gone that long, you might consider one of the services to drive you to the airport. Does SD have any Airport Express service? |

They have shuttles that run every 10 minutes depending on traffic and they drop you off at the terminal you need. |

Thank you everyone for the info, it is appreciated. We are traveling with a 1-year old, that is why we are driving our own car and leaving it there.
I will check the links you provided in the thread. Question: do these shuttles provide a car-seat for the baby, or are they expecting you bring your own, or can it be requested in advance?

I will tell you one to avoid--Johnny Park. My car was damaged when I parked there last Christmas and they did not give a shit. Someone grabbed my little chrome antenna and snapped it off. Their workers park the car and bring it to you when you return, so it was not just someone who parked nearby. Either they dont patrol the lot at all or their workers enjoy breaking stuff. Their shuttles were also slow. Anyway, they just gave me a lot of attitude and wouldnt pay for the repair.
I like the Hilton on Century. It might not be the cheapest place (it isnt) but I have used it many times and never had a problem. They have a lot of shuttles and good service. |

I use WallyPark routinely as I fly international a lot.
I belong to thier frequent parkers club (or whatever they call it).
I heard the Parking Spot is good too.
Both have padding between the cars.

I concur.
I left it there once. I was not feeling good about it.
It reminding me of the guys that "parked" Ferris Bueller's Ferrari. (ok, Cameron's Dad's Ferrari).

Lot B is the least expensive LAX lot - it's adjacent to the employees parking lot and you share the bus with them and so it comes and goes very frequently. $8 per day.
Or if you want a bit of an adventure, take the train to Union Station and then take the LAX Flyaway bus for $6 per person. You can park at the Flyaway bus station for $6 per day and it's underground and guarded.

someone mentioned that they were under new management, which may not be a good thing.... but i'd still go there. no problems, ever.

I routinely use 105 Airport Parking. Just a plain long-term parking service - nothing fancy. They have a coupon for $9/day, $11 for valet parking and they're fairly close to the airport - Imperial and Sepulveda. |

Even after reading many of the posts, I could not determine if there was a clear 'best' place to park, so I called around to Park 'n Fly, The Spot, WallyPark, and a few others. After the phone conversations, reading the reviews, and getting quotes, for my trip last week - I chose Park 'n Fly @ Park One. It started well - easy to find, shuttle picked me up, etc...HOWEVER, upon returning, my experience went from good to absolute frustration!
When I got to the cashier, contrary to what I was told on the phone (using their 800 #), I could not combine the only coupon currently offered (FREE Day with Minimum 3 Day Stay) with the rate they quoted me at - even though I had print outs for the rate, the coupons, etc....!
I returned from the cashier and went across the lot to the managers office and met Andy Tran (the manager on duty). He not only treated me poorly but seemed to prefer to lose a regular traveler than offer any type of assistance. He wouldn't even admit that in the history of offering parking service at Park n Fly that the firm/employees had ever once made an honest mistake, misstated a quote, or honestly provided an incorrect statement based on confusion. It was unconscionable - he offered nothing. From his point of view - it was my fault and my fault alone and he wasn't going to budge/let alone admit that Park n Fly would ever make that mistake. It was disgusting.
In summary - I paid the $35 or so dollars more and they lost a potentially loyal customer and one who isn't afraid to speak out.
Going forward - I'll try the spot, but never again will I trust Park n Fly. Disgraceful. |

said by TheRul  :Don't park. Rent a car. Drop it off. Much cheeper and you can get a large SUV for your luggage. Did that last year, and was happy I did. Not from San Diego I don't think, but it would be cool if you provided the math on that. It might be close. (Enterprise rent a car would pick him up from his house during normal hours right?)
I would like to take this opportunity to thank SoCalFreqTrav for the follow up (Have you considered registering and joining us?). We get a lot of Bozo's jumping in here asking for help, we take our time to provide useful information and then we never hear back from them...and a lot of times don't even get a thank you.
BTW, are users with a New York location tag still persona non grata around here? |

| Nope, only that one guy, HardwareGeek.
As for the one who had just moved here from the NYC area and started in complaining how this and that was better "back home", I can't remember his name. He disappeared and never came back immed after the joyous welcome we laid on him.
