Shuttle from LAX to Anaheim

Is there a shuttle to get from LAX to Anaheim? Or what is the best way to get there if you don’t have a car.

Yes, there are several ways to get from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Anaheim without a car, including shuttles, buses, trains, and ride-share options. The best choice depends on your budget, comfort preference, and timing.

Shuttle services: There are multiple shared and private shuttle companies that operate between LAX and Anaheim. These shuttles typically need to be booked in advance and can drop you off at hotels or central locations near Disneyland and Anaheim Convention Center.

  • SuperShuttle / Shuttle2Airport: Shared ride shuttles that operate on a reservation basis. They pick up from LAX and drop off at hotels in Anaheim. Travel time is roughly 1–1.5 hours depending on traffic and number of stops.
  • Go Airport Shuttle: Another reliable shared shuttle service. Offers door-to-door service and can be booked online in advance.
  • Private shuttle: Companies like ExecuCar or private van services provide direct rides. More expensive than shared shuttles but faster and more convenient if you have a lot of luggage or want direct service.

Other transportation options:

  • Metrolink train: Take a FlyAway bus from LAX to Union Station in Downtown Los Angeles, then transfer to the Metrolink Orange County Line to Anaheim. This is slower (2–2.5 hours) but avoids traffic and can be cost-effective.
  • Ride-share / Taxi: Uber, Lyft, or a taxi from LAX to Anaheim is direct and convenient, but expect higher costs (roughly $100–$150 depending on traffic and surge pricing). Travel time is about 45–75 minutes without heavy traffic.

Tips for getting from LAX to Anaheim:

  • Book shuttles or private rides in advance to ensure availability, especially during peak travel periods.
  • Allow extra time if traveling during morning or evening rush hours, as I-405 and I-5 can have heavy traffic.
  • Shared shuttles may make multiple stops, so expect slightly longer travel times compared to private rides.
  • If using public transportation (FlyAway + Metrolink), check schedules ahead of time as frequency is lower during early mornings or late evenings.

Overall, if you want the most convenient option without a car, a pre-booked shared or private shuttle is the simplest and most reliable way to get from LAX to Anaheim, with ride-share as a faster but more expensive alternative.
