I am also interested in van services to and from LAX. I looked up Lyft and actually read the "Terms and Conditions" and it seemed too sketchy for me. I'd rather pay a little more and know what I am paying. I don't like to be able to give "donations" for a service and not know what I'm paying.
Does anyone have any other van services they could recommend? We are a party of 6, 4 adults and 2 children, ages 4 and 6.
msr709 --
I've used a lesser-known, smaller service called
Sav-on Shuttle for the last couple of years (most recently, this past July). I've used their service on multiple occasions, including trips to and from DLR. It's always a solo ride -- not a shared ride -- and they have picked me up in both vans and cars. I've always had good experiences with them -- they're on time (usually early), friendly, professional, reliable, etc. They've picked me up as early as 4:45 in the morning, and also late at night. Because they are a smaller service (the owner's name is John, and he is usually the one handling the phone calls), they are a fairly no-frills operation.
Maybe this has changed, but Sav-on Shuttle used to not require payment ahead of time (although you
can pay ahead of time if you would like to), unlike places such as Super Shuttle.
Sav-On Shuttle does a lot of business taking people to and from
Disneyland Resort, as well as to various airports, boat terminals, etc. They can handle large groups of people, as well as solo travelers, couples, families, etc. They have a lot of really great reviews on Yelp, too (I don't think I can link Yelp here, but if you look up Sav-on Shuttle in Long Beach on Yelp you will see very few negative reviews).
