LAX Parking

Here is a great site that sources all the major LAX parking lots on one site. You can compare prices all at once instead of searching the multitude of individual parking options.

Another great option is the Fly Away bus, which services Van Nuys (The Valley) Union Station (Downtown LA) and Westwood (the Westside). Park for cheap and take the bus to LAX for only $7.
