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 Official Twitter Feed with general information.
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.

I’ll add that this time of year the LAWA shuttles are probably the fastest way in and out of the CTA because they have express lanes. Even in normal times it’s faster to take a shuttle out to economy than drive out of P3 if you arrive during the ~11pm bank.
Wednesday morning traffic into the tunnel was backed up on the 105 all the way to the Nash St exit. I was in a Lyft with a good driver and we got off at Nash to get to the light at the tunnel entrance without having to wait multiple cycles.
It’s also probably faster out of economy to head north as you leave, even if you’re ultimately headed south. Traffic was a nightmare at Sepulveda and Century when I was leaving parking Tuesday night.
I’m looking forward to the people mover.

Looking to drop off the car at a LAX hotel, return 8 days later, stay at the hotel since flight returns 10 PM and leave the next AM.
Having trouble finding a suitable hotel. Many do not offer such a car park service and one will charge $30 a day beyond the first (free) 3 days.
Hate to use public parking and go back and forth from the hotel.Unless I can find one i can walk to.
Any ideas?

Quik Park is located right behind the Hyatt Regency. They share a shuttle service to the airport. Marriott Courtyard right is across Vicksburg Ave. from Quik Park.
Joe's Auto Parking is right next to the Hilton Homewood Suites.
Airport Center Parking is next door to Marriott Residence Inn.
However, I doubt that any of those facilities will be much cheaper than $30/day.

Is there a good way to extend an existing parking session? I am scheduled to return tonight, but my bother in law I was staying with unexpectedly passed away, I'm going to have to stay longer to support my sister, so I need to extend my current parking session.
Should I sign up for a new reservation? Just say nothing and pay the difference when I get back?

From the Terms and Conditions:
If your vehicle stays in the parking facility more than 2 hours after the reservation ends, a new parking session will begin at the posted rates. This additional payment will be required to exit the facility. No refunds are provided for parking stays that are shorter than the reservation period.
