Vlog: Looking For Parking At Los Angeles International Airport Video

Feel free to watch the video above or at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq34b4gM5Cs about Los Angeles Airport And Parking, listen to the podcast here or read the transcript below. At LAX, 75 million passengers pass through each year. The on-site parking spaces are limited to 8,000 in multi-storey garages close to the terminals and 5,000 more in an economy lot within a few minutes' distance. Unfortunately, pre-booking is not available for these airport-run parking spots; they work on a first-come, first-served basis. Also, the hourly and daily maximum charges can be quite expensive. But here's an excellent money-saving option: visit ParkingCupid.com to pre-book at one of the off-site parking companies and use their search engine to get the best deals available! You can save both time and money.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,560
Hey there, are you looking for parking at Los Angeles International Airport?

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:12,240
Well with over 75 million passengers passing through each year, LAX can get pretty crowded.

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:18,040
And the on-site parking spaces are limited to just 8,000 in the multi-story garages next

4
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:24,320
to the terminals and 5,000 more in the economy lot located a few minutes away.

5
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:30,640
But unfortunately, there are no options for pre-booking these airport run parking spaces.

6
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,000
And they operate on a first come first serve basis.

7
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,160
So prices can be quite steep.

8
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:43,760
And with an hourly rate and daily maximum charge in effect, it can get pretty expensive.

9
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:49,480
However, I'm going to let you in on a great time and money saving option.

10
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:55,400

You can park your car in a secure off-site lot and then you hop on a free shuttle bus,

15
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:20,200
which only takes around maybe 10 minutes to get you from the lot to the upper departure

16
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,200
tiers.

17
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,280
And it'll take you straight to your terminal.

00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,800

Now that's convenient.

20
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,040
So you can request your driver to meet you in the airport lot.

21
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,640
Then you park your car and they'll actually park it for you.

22
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,800
And then they'll also have it ready for you when you get back.

23
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:50,280

The price varies from one to the other, but many will give discounts if you stay for at

00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,640

43
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:29,720
or pick up a traveler, make sure you plan your trip accordingly because traffic here

44
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,560
can be unpredictable and kind of a nightmare.

45
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:39,320
So make sure that you give yourself plenty of time by checking the local traffic updates

46
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:46,320
and make sure you leave with enough time to get through check-in and security because

47
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,320
it's such a busy airport.

48
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:54,040
You never know when that 15-minute cruise might actually become an hour and a half crawl,

49
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,040
right?

50
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,360
