Here’s How To Park At LAX For Really Cheap
All these cars have to go somewhere, and that tends to cost you.

Topline:
If you drive, your next trip to LAX could be easier on your wallet. The airport announced a lower cost parking lot where you can leave your ride fairly close to the terminals with a running shuttle — is this a dream?
What’s the lowdown on the lot? LAX Budget Parking lot took over Economy Lot E at 5455 West 111th Street, which is off-site between Aviation and La Cienega boulevards. It has contactless entry and exit, 2,600 spaces and a shuttle that scoops up passengers every 20 to 30 minutes. Prices range from $15 to $20 per day, which could be lower depending on when you book.
How does it compare to other lots? Off-site private parking has long drawn people because it’s been cheaper than official LAX parking, but this addition makes the airport more competitive. Some things you may want to consider when choosing are how long you’ll be gone, cleanliness of structures, and proximity to what you need. Most parking companies offer a free shuttle to terminals, too.
