Hi gents. I tried searching around but came up empty. I have an 8 hour layover @ LAX coming up soon. Can anyone recommend a good provider that’s a *reasonable* cab/uber ride from the airport? 

 

Thanks in advance!

I will let others chime in if they know providers near LAX… but I wanted to note that 8 hours is plenty of time to rent a car and drive in to WeHo or other areas that are more ripe with providers. You can likely rent a car (if you search for deals or have any corporate discount) for less than ubering back and forth to somewhere closer to the airport for lesser massage. Just my $.02.

Agreed with @GD85 you are plenty close to West Hollywood and I'd guess there's well over 100+ providers around there you can utilize.  If you wanted a spa, you can head a little farther east on the 10 to check out the K Spas in the area that offer a relaxing environment and discrete connections

just keep an eye on that clock/watch!......traffic (at LAX and beyond), rental car lines if you rent (to pickup AND return) plus the shuttle bus, TSA lines plus more if international connection......

Yes, but 8 hours… lol. It’s true you have to have a plan, but with good planning it’s easily doable. Having done this with long layovers at LAX, JFK, HND, TPE, HKG… 🤣

Thanks for all the advice! I could get a rental car for a very reasonable price, I was just a bit concerned about the time. LAX traffic is always a complete nightmare. 

I’m going to look into the providers suggested and also the hotel option.

Renting a car means getting on a shuttle, going to the rental facility, waiting in line and suffering through the up-sell. (Unless you have status; then it might be straight to your car.) Depending upon which terminal and what day of the week a cab or Uber/Lyft might be easier and more time-efficient. (Use the LAX-it lot adjacent to Terminal 1.) Dayuse is also a possibility; there are hundreds and hundreds of hotel rooms at numerous properties just east of Terminal 1, some of which you can almost walk to. My goal is to offer suggestions to maximize your time with a provider. WeHo is not terribly far (in LA distances) from LAX. Remember you gotta get back (traffic!) and get through security. Plan ahead, leave a little room for error or the unexpected, and you’ll have a great time!

As someone very familiar with the LA scene but a new (part-time) resident of SoCal, it makes me happy to see all the LA and West Coast help here 🥰
