Temecula to LAX Shuttle

Getting to LAX from Temecula

LAX often has the most nonstop flights and the best international options, but from the Temecula Valley it is also the longest airport drive we run. The route crosses Riverside and Orange County freeways that can slow down quickly, so the range on this page is wide on purpose — it reflects how much the trip changes between a quiet early morning and a weekday afternoon.

That is exactly why a shuttle makes sense here. You skip LAX parking and the stress of the 405, and you can rest, work or sleep on the way. Our LAX route also serves the Long Beach and San Pedro cruise ports, so the same shared shuttle and private options work for cruise travelers.

How booking your LAX ride works

Start in the search box at the top of this page. Choose Airport Shuttle, enter your pickup address in the Temecula Valley (or pick LAX as your pickup if you are flying home), choose your date and the number of passengers, and you will see the options available for that trip with an instant price. Prices come straight from our live booking system, so the number you see is the number you book.

At checkout you add your contact details, luggage, and — for airport trips — your airline and flight number. We check the flight against the date you picked and the airport on your booking, and if something does not match you will see a clear warning so you can fix a typo before it becomes a problem. Your booking then appears in My Trips, where you can view your receipt, update passenger details and, within our travel policy, make changes yourself. Our dispatch team reviews every booking and assigns your driver and vehicle.

Shared shuttle or private ride?

A shared shuttle is our lowest fare. You ride with a few other travelers, and you can meet the van at the South Temecula Park & Ride on Temecula Parkway or add a home or hotel pickup for an additional charge based on location. Shared seats are sold per person, so they work well for solo travelers and couples. For shared rides to LAX, pick your time. A shared run is confirmed once enough riders book. If not enough book by 48 hours before departure, it's cancelled and you won't be charged. Search your date and time for available runs and pickup options.

A private ride is just your group, picked up at your door at the time you choose. You are not waiting on other passengers or extra stops, which matters when you have an early flight, young kids, or a lot of luggage. Private pricing is per vehicle, so for families and groups it is often close to the cost of several shared seats. Our fleet runs from Lexus sedans for up to three passengers to minivans, nine-passenger Transit vans and a fourteen-passenger Transit van, so we can match the vehicle to your group.

Tips for an easy trip

• Book as early as you can — shared runs have limited seats and private vehicles are assigned first come, first served.
• Enter your airline and flight number at checkout so dispatch has your flight details on your booking.
• Count your bags honestly at checkout. Luggage allowances depend on passenger count, and telling us up front lets us send a vehicle with room for everything.
• For LAX, plan your pickup time from your flight time backward and allow for the longest end of the typical range.
