Call 800-822-8294, 323-653-5050, or email [email protected]. Meter: $3.10 for the first 1/9 mile, then $0.33 per extra 1/9 mile ($2.97 per mile). LAX-origin trips add $4.00. The LAX-downtown flat fare either way is $51.15.

LA City Cab provides wheelchair accessible taxis in Los Angeles, no matter where you are. Specially equipped vehicles can accommodate people with wheelchairs, including wheelchair accessible vans, 24/7. Call 888-248-9222. No public booking email is published.

Downtown rates: $3.10 flag drop, then $0.33 per extra 1/9 mile. The estimated group rate either way between LAX and downtown is $51.50. The same page also lists $46.50 plus a $4.00 processing fee. Ask dispatch which figure applies.

Lyft Wheelchair and Uber WAV

Lyft lists Los Angeles, CA for Wheelchair rides that take non-folding or motorized wheelchairs or scooters. Hours are 7 AM to midnight. Pickup and drop-off must stay inside Los Angeles County.

Uber documents a Los Angeles WAV path for riders in motorized and other types of wheelchairs. WAV will cost the same as an UberX trip.

ADA Pro private van

ADA Pro is a private-hire van, not a meter taxi. It lists wheelchair accessible vans and carries riders who use wheelchairs and service animals. Call (310) 633-4731 or email [email protected], say you need an accessible vehicle, and book 24 hours ahead. Fares are the firm's own quote.

Airport transfer at LAX

Taxis pick up at the LAX-it lot. The free LAX-it shuttle from the green Lower/Arrivals sign has a wheelchair lift or ramp and two wheelchair tie-down positions.

For an accessible taxicab at the terminals, call taxi dispatch on 310-646-9177. A cab is sent to the DARK BLUE ACCESS curb sign. Service animals ride at no extra charge. You can also pre-book United Independent Taxi, LA City Cab, or ADA Pro.

Access Services visitor rides

Access Services is next-day county paratransit, not a same-day taxi. Visitors may register for 21 days in one calendar year by emailing ADA eligibility, or out-of-county residence plus proof of disability, to [email protected]. Fares are $2.75 under 20 miles and $3.50 at 20 miles or more.
