I land about 8pm and I don't want to use one of those share-a-ride vans.
Boy, that's a tough time to get from LGB to the ONT area.
During the day one can take the Long Beach Transit route 111 (or a taxi) from LGB Airport to the transit mall and then use the Blue Line to get to L.A., switch to the Red Line to get to Union Station, and use Metrolink to get to Pomona or Covina
There is also a Metro Express Bus (577x) from Long Beach Transit Mall to the El Monte Bus Station, which IIRC has parking.

Also, check if there is an "off-airport" company like Thrifty who may allow you to do a cheaper one-way drop-off at ONT the next day. This once worked for me for a late arrival at LAX where I needed to get home (and could dump the car at ONT the next day).
Good Luck!
