Question

Do I need to rent a car?

Answer

If you do not rent a car, you will have to rely at least a little bit on rideshare apps or cabs, which can certainly add up. While public transportation infrastructure in Los Angeles is underrated and much improved in recent years, it can still take quite a while to get around.

Question

What airport should I fly into?

Answer

We recommend flying into LAX or Burbank Airport. LAX is one of the busiest airports in the world, which means it's easy to get an affordable flight here. However, it is quite a hike from Glendale, where we recommend people to stay. If you fly into LAX, look into the Flyaway bus to Union Station. It's a clean, fast and safe shuttle bus that is super cheap and takes you directly from LAX to Union Station in downtown LA, where you can catch a much more affordable cab or rideshare to your lodging destination. If you are able to fly into Burbank, this is the airport of choice for locals. It's much less hectic of an airport experience and much closer to everything. Long Beach's John Wayne Airport and Ontario International are also technically options, but they are even further than LAX so consider this and plan accordingly.
