Los Angeles International Airport Pickups are Changing

Due to ongoing construction at LAX, all pickups except TCP-licensed Black and Black SUV will be moving to the new LAX-it lot near Terminal 1.

Starting Nov. 6, Lyft will have a new, dedicated pickup area at LAX-it (use West Century Boulevard to enter the lot).

Drop-offs will remain the same. We’ve added new features, like Fast Match code-based pickups, so it’s easier to find your passengers.

For all rides — except Black and Black SUV:

When you receive a request, drive from the staging lot to the new LAX-it lot adjacent to Terminal 1. If you get a ride that requires a pickup code (Fast Match), proceed to Zones 5 to 7 to meet your passenger and enter the code into your Lyft Driver app. Shared and XL pickups will be at Zone 6C.

For all Black and Black SUV rides:

When you receive a request, head to the arrivals (lower) level outer curb, and meet your passenger at the appropriate terminal door. Please note: Black and Black SUV airport rides are only available to drivers with a TCP license. Drivers without a TCP license are still able to give rides they are eligible for (XL, Shared) at the airport.

Getting to the LAX-it lot

Here’s how to get there:

From the queue, follow the in-app directions and enter the LAX-it lot from West Century Boulevard.
Upon entering, follow the signs and traffic control to the right pickup lane for your ride request.
All rides must exit on Sepulveda Boulevard or 96th Street.

Easier LAX pickups

These new features help support a smoother pickup experience during airport construction:

With Fast Match, passengers wait for the next available driver in the Fast Match line in Zones 5 to 7 of the LAX-it lot. When you pick up your passenger, ask for their Fast Match code and enter it into the app. You’ll then see their destination and can proceed from the LAX-it lot.
Black and Black SUV drivers with a TCP license will be able to pick passengers up at their arrival terminal. Learn more about TCP and how to apply for a TCP license › See you at the airport!
