Car service from LAX to GC

[Libby]

My dh and I flying into LAX to celebrate our 40th birthdays. Rather than get a shuttle we were looking at a car service - does anyone have any recommendations?

I've used Execucar with mixed results. They are the business side of Supershuttle. A Honda Odyssey is $72 and the Towncar is $99. On my last trip they tried to substutute a 9 person shuttle for the Honda Odyssey I ordered, but since I had my confirmations on hand they were forced to give me the Honda Odyssey after arguing with the shuttle driver for 5 mins. I personally feel that they tried to pull this as I was a SOLO traveller at the time, and had booked with them direct and not with a TA. That being said, I've reluctantly booked with them again for our family trip in Sept. Hopefully this time things will go smoother than last time. I would recommend that the TA contact them if you are interested, and don't take any flack from them as they can be rude at times, until you get the right person. I've also heard good things about Harold's limo, but have no idea of their prices, and would be best to get a quote off of them before deciding if it's the right fit for you. Hopefully others can make other recommendations in regards to this. And have a great trip!

A friend who lives in the Orange County area recommended:

VIP Car Service
(800) 735-7535

His business uses this company regularly.

I am using them for the first time tonight from SNA to the GC. They were very nice on the phone, and the fee of $90.00 (including 18% tip and airport fee) is in the average range based on my research over the past few days. They will be waiting at baggage claim (some companies have an additional fee for inside pick-up). I usually use Super Shuttle, but am arriving late at night and don't want to wait and then meander all over Orange County before arriving at the hotel.

Thanks so much for the replies. I think we'll ring VIP since they are recommended by a local.
