The Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners has approved a plan to increase rideshare access fees at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), marking the first adjustment to the airport's ground transportation charges in more than a decade.

During a vote held on 10 March 2026, commissioners approved a new pricing structure that raises the current $4 fee (around £2.99) for rideshare pick-ups and drop-offs. Under the revised system, companies such as Uber and Lyft will be charged $12 (around £9) for trips that access the airport's central terminal area.
