Just did it last night. Depends how many people are travelling for us it was 4 so we decided on a taxi. Bad idea it cost $110 from LAX to Anaheim, I should’ve taken the $18 pp in a shuttle. Hope that helps!
As it happened I did not go to Anaheim from LAX but to Carlsbad. However I have just taken the reverse trip. I booked a 5:05 shuttle from the Anaheim Hilton. We pulled out about 5:15 but proceeded to go back and forth from hotel to hotel and in fact drove past the Hilton for the last time about 6pm. We pulled onto airport property at 6:40, much to the consternation of the fellow with the 7:30 flight who’d been told it was a 45 minute trip, and since we went to his terminal first, I ended up walking into my terminal about 7:00 for let’s call it a two hour trip.
So yeah, my history of the shuttle – that it adds a minimum of an hour to the trip – holds true even here in California where the intercity trip might be thought to outweigh the fiddling around time. I knew what I was up for which is why I booked a 5pm shuttle.
Some thoughts:
I agree with Joel that John Wayne (SNA) and Long Beach (LGB) are better bets, but it’s worth keeping in mind that the shuttle fare is:
Which makes SNA look like the best bet. I have no idea why LGB is that much more when the cab fare would be under $70.
Yep, that’s the nature of SuperShuttle… it takes twice as long and drives you batty, but it does save some money.
Do you really have to fly to LAX? There are two commercial airports closer than LAX to Anaheim — John Wayne and Long Beach — both of which are pleasant, quieter airports.
