LAX Parking With The Parking Spot

Disclosure: We partnered with The Parking Spot.  All thoughts are my own.

Traveling with a family can be stressful so I really look into simplifying everything.  To start off, we always use airport parking.  It's just easier for our family - what if we forgot something and had to return home?  You really can't do that if you use a shuttle.  Plus that can be more costly and time consuming.  I was bummed to find out that the airport parking lot we've used for the past 5 years was bought by a competitor and after reading reviews, found out it now sucked.  I started asking around and The Parking Spot came highly recommended, mainly by my friend and LA Kings fan Chris.  I had definitely heard about them before and saw the shuttles around LAX.

LAX Parking is as easy as it comes with the Parking Spot.  Their parking structure on Century Blvd. is easy to spot - it is right on the corner of Century and Bellanca.  We pulled in at around 6am, grabbed a ticket from the machine, my husband Chris pulled up to valet (but we didn't use valet) so we could unload and then went to find a parking space.  While we were waiting for my husband to meet us, we saw two shuttles pick up and were able to catch the third one.  I was impressed!  Our driver was friendly and it took less than 10 minutes to get from the lot to our terminal.

When we returned 6 days later, we walked out of our terminal, looked for the Hotel & Parking Lot Shuttle sign and waited about 10 minutes for our shuttle.  The Parking Spot site says their shuttles come around every 5-7 minutes and in their defense, we did see two shuttles for the other Parking Spot parking lot within 5 minutes.  When we got back to the parking structure, paying was a breeze.  Took the ticket to the cashier, was given a new ticket (you could also pay when you exit) and we were on our way.  I really loved that some of the staff were standing in the loading and unloading area offering ice cold water.

The structure is well lit, clean, secure and staffed.  If we would've Home Alone'd one of the kids and forgot him there I wouldn't worry, it's that safe and the staff were all super nice.  Trust your car here.
