How every fare is set
Every Lux4Rides fare is a base plus a rate per mapped mile, set by the vehicle. For the Comfort Sedan that is $80 plus $2.40 a mile, for the Luxury SUV $100 plus $3.00 a mile, and for the Mercedes Sprinter $375 plus $8.50 a mile. The booking form shows the total for your exact addresses before you pay, including taxes and fees. That is why Marina del Rey, 6.6 miles away, is the lowest fare on the list and San Diego, 125 miles away, is the highest.
Optional extras are listed before you pay: inside-terminal meet and greet $60 per booking, child seat or booster $25 each per ride. Gratuity is optional: 20% is preselected and you can change it. Book the return at the same time and the return ride is 5% less.
Arriving at LAX
Add your flight number when you book; your chauffeur follows the flight and waits for the real landing time, with 60 minutes included after an international arrival. With your bags, go to the arrivals (lower) level and the outermost curb outside baggage claim, where LAX directs limousines and town cars. Ride-app pickups go to the LAX-it lot; pre-booked chauffeurs do not.
Want someone waiting inside the terminal? Meet and greet is $60 per booking, added in the booking form.
Airport waiting time, and what extra waiting costs
Airport pickups include 30 minutes of complimentary waiting after a domestic arrival and 60 minutes after an international one, counted from the actual landing time, not the schedule. If you take longer, extra waiting is charged by the minute at the hourly rate of the vehicle you booked: the hourly rate divided by 60, times the extra minutes. In a Comfort Sedan ($80 an hour) that is $1.33 a minute, so 20 extra minutes would add about $26.67 before tax. Add your flight number when you book so the clock starts from the real landing.
Leaving from LAX
Your chauffeur drops you at the departures (upper) level curb of your airline's terminal. Most airlines ask you to be at the airport about two hours before a domestic flight and three before an international one, so set the pickup time from the drive time above plus that margin, and add more on Friday afternoons and holiday weekends.
