The Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners has approved a fee increase for rideshare companies operating at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). LAX, which has the biggest airport rideshare market in the country, will now charge rideshare companies $12 for central terminal access with pick-up and drop off fees to the Ground Transport Center increasing from $4 to $6 per ride. The fee structure change comes as LAX prepares to open its automated people mover, SkyLink, later this year.
“Despite rideshare companies profiting heavily from LAX, the fees they pay to access our airport have remained unchanged for more than a decade, even as airports nationwide have increased both pickup and drop‑off charges,” said David Reich, deputy executive director for mobility strategy at Los Angeles World Airports. “These fee increases are a small, overdue expense for rideshare companies, and will support substantial reinvestment in critical projects across the airport designed to enhance airport experience for employees, guests and all Angelenos.”
