Hello all

I am heading to Disneyland with the kids for spring break. Decided not to rent a car. Looking for suggestions on what car service company or van to take from LAX to Disneyland. Any recommendations?

Thanks, Jim
 
Your choice, but I'd rent a car. There is a Disneyland shuttle from LAX.

This from Mousesavers.com:
Disneyland Resort Express from the airport - after picking up your luggage at the airport, proceed out to the pickup location:

At LAX, go to the center island and stand under the overhead green sign. The bus departs hourly between 7:30 am and 10:30 am; every 30 minutes between 10:30 am and 4:30 pm; and hourly between 4:30 pm and 10:30 pm. Please note that these times are subject to change.

We used Anaheim Resort Transfer from our TS to the parks. ART is about $10 for 3 days pp. I think. Sold at a machine in front of the TS. And service was top notch.

There is a Budget R.A.C. on Katella near Harbor if you decide to rent while you are there.

Just take the Disneyland Resort Express. LAX has a surge charge for rental cars that is ridiculous.

I just reserved our son and daughter-in-law a rental car through Costco out of LAX for 18 days, 3/17-4/4, and it was a whopping $324 at Alamo. :rofl: That's cheap, and I see no fees in that price that are outrageous.
 
I remember when I went last time, I checked the prices @ LAX. Then I checked the price and a pick-up location 15mins from LAX. The price was exactly half. There were a bunch of fees for LAX that weren't on the other one.
 
Just looked @ Avis & Hertz w/out my corporate discount with the dates you said.

Avis @ LAX - $486
Avis @ 10mins away - $355

Hertz @ LAX - $285
Hertz @ 10mins away - $175

Looks like Alamo only has airport locations, so I can't find the diff between onsite/offsite.
 
We are going to rent a car at LAX, and the cheapest I can find for 3/6-3/10 is $81/ economy. That rate is at Fox. I am jealous of the rates you are finding. What rates can you get for my dates?

Do you mean $81/day? Through Kayak.com there are rates for your dates as low as $21/night. Fox is $40/night. We have used Fox and they were totally fine.

We actually have the car reserved for a total of $81 total for the four days. I reserved it for 4 full days, even though we are only there for 3 1/2 days, because it was the same price. I figured we would have a car, at least, should we get snowed out of Denver for a while. I can get another night at the last minute with either Shell or DVC points. I have a backup plan. :D
 
Any of you guys notice that the OP said he decided not to rent a car? All but 2 posts in the thread are about car rentals.

Jim
 
Jim, you started it. :rofl:

Seriously, though, the guy didn't say why he didn't want to rent a car, so if the reason is cost, he is going to pay a lot per person for a van service from LAX. I would have flown into SNA, if I was determined not to get a car. LAX was cheaper; therefore, the car rental was a given.
 
Super Shuttle is a good one. Disneyland Resort Express. Also for something more personal go to limos.com.
 
No need for a car, we will be at Disney the whole time, and renting a car from lax was a nightmare last time with 3 kids in tow. Will try Disneyland express but still considering a limo. Anyone have good-bad experiences with Disneyland express? Thx.

Check this out. With a family of 5 it is often cheaper to just arrange for something private. Its $100 RT plus tip from LAX to Disney. If you paid separate its like $25 a person which would actually be more.

We are not shuttle people. I have had more than one bad experience. With 3 kids you want to get in that shuttle and go not wait for more people. You will be there a busy time so most likely the wait would not be that bad but depending on where you are in the drop off line up it could be a long time from when you get on the shuttle to when you get off.

Enjoy!!!!
 
Another vote for private transportation. Used limos.com and the kids absolutely loved the ride.
 
Yeah, I looked at the van serve and I still have a bit of waiting and stopping. I think I will take a car service and be done with it. Thx everyone.
