Parking @ LAX: https://book.flylax.com/book/LAX/Parking or LAX Official Airport Parking
Recommendations for selecting booking times and total booking periods: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/34711926-post186.html
Note also that for booking close-in and and around holiday peaks, some of the off airport lots may offer advance rates that are very competitive with the LAX operated lots.
Interactive map of LAX on-airport (Central Terminal Area) parking status is linked here (includes links to nearby off airport parking if you scroll down)
Economy and Budget Lot Shuttle Tracker (bottom link, light blue) (as of 10/25/23 it seems to mostly show Budget Lot shuttles and some Economy Lot shuttles don't show up on the tracker)
Note that parking rates in the CTA structures increased on 10/19/21.
Economy Parking (structure in part of the old lot C location) opened 10/19/21.
Prebooking is available at substantial discounts for the CTA ($22 vs $50/day) and Economy ($15 vs $25/day) parking at this link
See most recent posts in thread for prebooking discount codes offered for airport operated parking lots.
For prebooking, you must book at least 6 hours before your arrival.
For the Economy Lot, your QR code becomes active 4 hours prior to your booked arrival time
For CTA lots, the QR code becomes active 2 hours prior to your booked arrival time.
Note that access to the Economy Lot is only via Westchester Pkwy to Jetway Bl - there doesn't appear to be any shortcut via 96th.

Fly LAX Stats Official Twitter feed with parking lot occupancy and time to T1 from points outside the airport and time through the U on the upper and lower levels.
Park 'N Fly @ Park One and LAX Lot C are permanently closed.
Lot E is permanently closed as of 7/26/21
With the limited availability of parking at LAX as travel picks back up, Van Nuys or Union Station+Flyaway bus may be a reasonable alternative:
Union Station Parking (at Patsouras Plaza) is $8/day. Make sure you're in Union Station East (the underground facility) and fill out and drop off the downloadable form if you'll be there longer than 3 days.
The Consolidated "LAX Flyaway Bus" Thread (2014 - Date) has up to date information on taking the flyaway bus; parking is $5 a day.

Anyone tried "Valet Terminal" parking? How did this work (do they meet you curbside or is there a designated valet drop area)? Also, any idea where they took your car to park (was it covered/car still clean)? I'd normally prefer to self-park but valet is $150 cheaper for my dates so curious about the option.

I forgot to book parking for a tentative trip that's coming up in 10 days and was dreading what I'd see for a 7 day booking, 10 days out. $99, discounted 60% from drive up.

It were around $99 for 7 days for my last 3 bookings. I was able to use 20% and 15% off to get it around $80 to $85. Hope they will send out another 15 or 20 off coupon for economy again.

I have to say, I have some sort of problem just about every time I park here. Granted, many are due to construction, but some just seem to be errors in the system.
I recently arrived to park at P3. I get there and, guess what? Totally closed. I circle around and see a sign that says to go to P4. Fine. I pull in, show the woman my QR code and she lets me past the cones. But my QR doesn't work. I call, and then guy says that even though it's for that day, I used it weeks ago. Huh? I did park weeks ago, but that was a different reservation that got screwed up due to different construction in P2. So he theorizes that they applied this parking money to that time slot when they fixed it manually. Fine. Whatever. In the meantime, I have a flight to catch, I'm wasting time, and I now need to walk back over to Delta from P4. So he lets me in and says he'll work on it on his side.
I expect more fun when I try to get my car out in a few days.
The whole point of paying extra to park at the terminal is for the convenience and time savings and both are diminished when this doesn't work right.
