Hire Cars at LAX

Approximately 40 rental car companies operate out of LAX, with vehicle rental sites located off the airport. Many of these hire car companies provide phone links inside or near the baggage claim areas on the Lower/Arrival Level of the terminals so travelers can request a free shuttle pick up to reach the rental car sites.

Ten rental car companies are allowed to pick-up and drop-off their customers directly from the airline terminals using courtesy shuttles. These are allowed to meet arriving customers under the purple sign "Rental Car Shuttles" on the Lower/Arrival level islands outside baggage claim.

Customers of other car hire companies, should contact their car hire using the Ground Transportation Telephone Boards in baggage claim areas of each terminal to arrange for pick-up. These customers will use the free LAX Shuttle Bus to reach the Off-Airport CAr HireTerminal to meet their courtesy shuttle. Customers should meet the LAX Shuttle Bus "Lot C" on the Lower/Arrivals level island under the sign for LAX Shuttle to travel to the car hire terminal.
