Getting from LAX to Hollywood
 

My husband, myself and our 2 kids will be arriving in LA June 23, 2005. Can anyone recommend the most cost effective way to get from LAX to Hollywood [where we are staying]??

The traditional way involved becoming very good friends with a producer.

The most <b>cost</b> effective way is the public transportation. It is cheap but involves transfers. I believe it's $3 for an all day pass and children under 5 are free. For more info look here:

Next option would be a shuttle service. Not knowing taxi rates in LA I can't tell you if it will be cheaper for 4 people.

Taxis

and then, since you are going to Hollywood, hire a limo. It will be waiting for you at the airport and provide a ride in style to begin your vacation.

I would recommend a taxi with 4 people and luggage if cost is a concern, limo if it's not.
If budget is tight and you don't have much luggage, the train.

Have a great trip!

We took a cab from Hollywood to LAX last week, and the cost was $50 for 7 of us.I think the cost would have been the same even if there were less people.

..very funny Lex1.. Thankx everyone!

Again, not knowing your budget, or if you are planning to hire a car at all during your stay here which I highly recommend, you can always take Super Shuttle or a similar van service to your hotel.

Super Shuttle is a good way to go. I know that from LAX to the Downtown area is about $12/person. So it might be about the same to go to Hollywood.

It's more than that, but I don't think it's the same charge per person. It might be 20, then an additional charge for each person. Call Super Shuttle to be sure.
