Car service from LAX to Hollywood

Anyone used a car service from LAX? We wont have a car. Now that there is a shuttle ride to pick up Uber, would prefer a car that picks up kirb side, as I have mobility issues. Just a regular car is good and doesnt have to be meet and greet, just want to avoid the shuttle to the Uber pick up point. Thanks for your help.

I have seen some sites mention Uber Black and Lyft Lux Black can also get into LAX like the limo services to the lower level inner kerb. So maybe that is the option. More expensive but more convenient.

So either a Limo / town car or one of the higher Uber / Lyft services (until they get banned I suppose).

Had used Execucar in the past (were part of SuperShuttle) but they have also shut down. Even the Disneyland Express has shutdown this month.

I use Affordable Town Car. Always ask for Steve and he has driven me for years - being picked up curb side (and dropped off right at check in) is worth it’s weight in gold - Uber and Lyft can no longer have access and some do get it but it’s a few curbs away rather than directly outside the terminal

Glad it worked for you - I like the certainty of a price without surcharges and tolls etc and they never over charge. If you book online there is a small discount and I simply call him when I have my luggage and he is always right outside the door and takes control of the bags etc - plus his car is equipped with water, juice and snacks should you need - Steve (If he is your driver ) is a real character and a very safe driver

Thanks thats so good to know. I struggle with mobility issues so its always good to have someone reliable, and an extra pair of hands. I usually tip 20%, do you just round it up and give him $20...or more?

I would just ask them to add 20% (which is the industry standard in LA) to the bill - no need to pay more unless you really want to
