2 p.m. sounds a little optimistic to me. 2:30 sounds doable.
Figure 10 min to get from gate to curbside.
10 min to catch shuttle to Hertz
60 min LAX to Pasadena - I would take the 105 to the 110. The 405 is a mess at the 10 interchange. You will probably hit some traffic right around Downtown LA and the Convention Center. I'll also warn you that the 110 North of Dodger Stadium is narrow and has lots of blind curves - it's not like a modern freeway.
Taxi would be about $50 or so.
