OMG, I swear those "rideshare pickup point outside on the curb" signs are there to confuse people! They have those signs inside the terminal on every exit door so we thought we could just go outside and call a ride. Turns out you have to actually get to the "letter" post which you can't see if you exit the wrong door.

We were there after midnight and there were many other groups waiting at the wrong spots. But the good part is the once we get to the post, the rest was easy and cheap. My house is 70 miles from LAX and none of my family wants to come at midnight to pick us up and I don't blame them. So I tried to get a car service and the cheapest place quoted $160. Called Lyft and got home by 1:30 and only $72... tip him $10 which is still half the price of the cheapest car service. The guy was really nice too, offer us water and charger for phones and our choice of radio stations.
