Yes, way back near the turn of the century. They pick you up and charge you $28. It is worth it, it was for me anyway. I took a zillion flights up to AK and back.
It was Shuttle Express IIRC. |

not positive, but super shuttle might operate that for you..they operate a shared van service that's pretty cheap, and very reliable.
www.supershuttle.com you might have to stop at a few hotels before they drop you off, but well worth it. |

I've used Super Shuttle in the past when flying out of Seattle and I was always happy with the service. Cheaper than a cab or town car service.

I've taken Super Shuttle as well as a car service to/from the airport. It saves a lot of hassle, but you might end up at the airport a couple of hours before you really want to, because of scheduled service. When I was traveling overseas a lot, I'd take a car service (a limousine company, but it was just an ordinary Lincoln Town Car) to/from the airport. It cost a little more, but I'd get personal service, and I knew the drivers pretty well.

They are usually pretty stright forward. They come and pick you up at your house, and drop you off. Usually tip the driver, but other then that, pretty stright forward.

I'd ask in your hometown forum for anyone with a company to recommend. I know of one good car service and one good parking garage for my local airport, but I know of a few of each that I'm glad I never used too.

It's $27 dollars here if you are gone for a week it's not much more than parking.

All the time. It runs me about $80 for the two of us round trip IIRC. We tip if the guy helps with the bags.
There are two types - direct "limos" and van types where they pick two or three other groups of people up on the way to the airport. I live about 60 miles away so we're first in the van and make the zig-zag trips to other homes. |

Super Shuttle does the job right. When I flew out there, it cost like $15 single way, which is always cheaper than a taxi.

Stay at motel that runs its own shuttle.
About anything will be better than driving through LAX. Or parking there. |

I don't think I have ever paid for a shuttle, they were always provided by the rental car company or hotel. I do give a tip though.
