Or you could call up LAX Accessible Taxi Dispatch and ask them to send you a Taxi to the Handicapped Waiting area at the terminal and voila a Taxi appears! I have low vision and I am going to try this as the Uber/Lyft setup sure don't sound ADA friendly! Can Uber/Lyft pickup a passenger with a disability at the lower level inside the terminal? if not I consider this a violation of the ADA as it seems like waiting in a long line would be hard for so many people including Senior Citizens.

From the LAX-it website:
LAX-it for Senior and Disabled Guests Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) has put many elements in place to make sure that seniors and persons with disabilities have an easy and comfortable experience. Assistance is available for passengers with disabilities. All LAX-it shuttles are ADA accessible. There are two types of buses in operation, large and small. Large buses are low floor (no stairs) and features wheelchair ramps for those who need them. Small buses have steps and is equipped with a wheelchair lift. If large bus is preferred, please consider bypassing the smaller buses and wait for the large bus. For additional assistance, please e-mail [email protected] in advanced of your arrival to LAX. We will make every effort to provide boarding and luggage assistance. https://www.flylax.com/UI/Flylax/Vie...tfooter_hr.svg The LAX-it shuttle is free. The LAX-it shuttles will travel in lanes dedicated only to LAWA-operated buses and shuttles. https://www.flylax.com/UI/Flylax/Vie...tfooter_hr.svg Passengers traveling with a wheelchair
Passengers requiring airline wheelchair assistance
This is a factual/informational forum. It is not the place to debate whether the LAX-it setup is in compliance with the ADA or the ACAA. Future posts opining, arguing or debating that LAX-it setup discriminates against passengers with disabilities will be summarily deleted. |
Can you take a hotel/car rental shuttle or the green line shuttle or a parking spot shuttle and order an Uber/Lyft from there?
The prices are a lot lower a few blocks away from airport and you save the airport fee! |

Walk to Sepulveda at Century and get a city bus or an Uber southbound or eastbound from there. For northbound, walk to the Hyatt across Sepulveda. It's 2 minutes from LAX-it and it saves the $4 airport surcharge instantly. Also the drivers don't have to wait in line.
But I would prefer not to walk with the luggage ;-) |

Hyatt/QuikPark's shuttles will gladly take Uber/Lyft's customers for $25, according to posters inside their vehicles.

Check the map to see the short distance from LAXit to Sepulveda. LAXit is halfway between Terminal 1 and Sepulveda. If your bag has wheels it's easy. I've walked to and from Terminal 1 hundreds of times.

Is $4 really worth the extra walk across Sepulveda with two luggage? Let's not get silly here... if you are walking to In-N-Out to get some burgers, sure, order an Uber from there and that LAX surcharge will pay for for a cheeseburger. But I wouldn't waste my time walking from the LAX-It lot, cross the street, and then wait for an Uber from Hyatt just to avoid the fee.
It's a different story if there is a long wait for both Uber and Lyft. But I'd take a taxi before I walk across Sepulveda and try Uber and Lyft again. You may find that the wait time is not any different. |

Checked yesterday, Uber from Lax-it 85 dollar, from anywhere offside 42 dollar.
Maybe I could get the green line shuttle and get an Uber at the station? The shuttle is free, I haven’t to carry the luggage and it is cheaper from the station. |
