Long Beach & San Pedro to LAX: Private Van Transfer

Skip the Taxi Line After Your Cruise: Direct Van to LAX

You're picked up from your cruise terminal at a set time and driven directly to LAX in a private, air-conditioned van that holds your whole group. The price is fixed before you book, your driver tracks your ship's arrival, and you skip the airport taxi queue entirely. Reconfirmation details arrive on your voucher after purchase.

Step-by-step itinerary

Transfer from cruise terminal to LAX

• Meet at Long Beach or San Pedro terminal
• Board private air-conditioned van
• Travel to Los Angeles LAX Airport
• Arrive at LAX for flight departure

The Experience

The pickup window is 9:30am to 10:30am, and your driver will be waiting at the cruise terminal with your name on a sign. No hunting for a cab, no surge pricing, no haggling over the meter — the van is already booked, the route is set, and the price is locked in before you step off the ship. Air-conditioned, clean, and built to hold up to nine passengers, so if you're traveling with family or friends, everyone fits in one vehicle.

You provide your airline and cruise details at booking, and the confirmation arrives on your voucher after purchase. If your ship runs late or you need a different pickup time, you contact the service ahead — just don't miss the window, because after 10:30am the driver moves on and you're charged in full. It's straightforward: you get picked up from either the Long Beach or San Pedro cruise terminal, sit back in a clean van with air conditioning, and arrive at LAX with time to spare before your flight. No transfers between vehicles, no stops along the way.

The whole point is to end your vacation without the stress of figuring out ground transportation. You've already paid, you know when the van arrives, and you know where it's going. That's the deal.

What’s included
