LAX to Long Beach Cruise Terminal Car Service

Book a private car and your chauffeur drives you straight there. The LAX airport to Long Beach Cruise Terminal run is 22.3 miles south on I-405 and takes about 30 to 40 minutes midday. We track your flight, meet you at your own terminal and drop you at the terminal entrance at 231 Windsor Way. The alternatives are rideshare or a taxi from the LAX-it lot, a shared shuttle, or the cruise line's own coach.

At the terminal entrance curb at 231 Windsor Way, Long Beach, CA 90802, where Carnival's porters take checked bags. Carnival asks guests to have luggage tags on their bags before they arrive and says extra tags come from the porter at the curb. Your chauffeur unloads there, then leaves, so you never visit the garage next door.

The Long Beach Cruise Terminal is 22.3 miles from LAX by road, almost all of it on I-405 south. In our October 2026 Google Routes API checks the drive typically took 30 to 40 minutes midday and 30 to 45 minutes in the weekday morning peak. Leaving LAX at 5 PM on a weekday it stretched to between 45 minutes and 1 hour 25 minutes.

Check your cruise documents, because Los Angeles has two cruise ports. The Long Beach terminal is Carnival's, at 231 Windsor Way next to the Queen Mary. The other is the Los Angeles Cruise Terminal in San Pedro, at Berths 91–93, 100 Swinford St, and it has its own iRide360 page. We drive to both, but they are separate ports.

Carnival tells guests who buy its own transfer to book a flight arriving at LAX no later than 12:00 PM on the day of the cruise, and runs that transfer between 9:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Add 30 to 40 minutes for the midday drive, from our measured readings. Carnival also accepts checked bags at the terminal until two hours before the published sailing time.

For a 1:00 PM domestic departure, book a pickup at the terminal around 9:35 AM. That allows two hours at LAX, the slow end of the measured 10 AM drive, a 20-minute safety buffer and 10 minutes of margin. Our table covers flights from noon to 10:30 PM. It covers the drive only, not how long the ship takes to clear.

iRide360 is a black car service, so we give you the private, chauffeured airport limousine experience in a black executive sedan or a full-size black luxury SUV. We do not run stretch limousines, vans or buses. For most cruise parties the SUV is the limousine-feeling choice, with room for five passengers and five bags and a chauffeur who loads them.

Pick the executive sedan for up to 3 passengers with 3 bags, or the luxury SUV for up to 5 passengers with 5 bags. Count suitcases as carefully as people: cruise bags are usually the larger number. If your party has more bags than the sedan holds, choose the SUV, and mention oversized items when you book so dispatch sends the right car.

Rideshare pricing is dynamic, so a LAX to Long Beach cruise port fare changes with demand and can be higher or lower than a fixed price on the same day. We do not quote other companies' fares. What we can tell you is that your iRide360 price is set when you book, includes tolls and taxes, and does not move if the ride gets busy or slow.

We know of no free shuttle to Long Beach cruise terminal from LAX, and iRide360 does not run one. We are a private car service: your party rides alone, the fare is set at booking, and the car goes straight to 231 Windsor Way. The cruise line sells its own coach transfer separately, so check with your cruise line.

Shared shuttle operators do serve the route, and the cruise line sells its own motor coach on sailing days. A LAX to Long Beach cruise terminal shuttle means other passengers, other stops and a fixed departure window. With iRide360 only your party rides, we track your flight, and we leave when you are ready.

It depends on the day, the operator and how many of you are traveling, and we do not publish other companies' prices. A shared shuttle charges per seat and adds stops; a taxi is metered, so the total rises when traffic does. A private car from iRide360 is one price for the whole party, set before you fly.

Taxis from LAX are metered, so the total depends on traffic and the exact address and is not known until you arrive. We do not quote taxi fares. Taxis also pick up from the LAX-it lot, which means a shuttle bus ride and a queue first. Our price covers the whole ride and is fixed when you book.

Travelers often search for the Port of Long Beach cruise terminal, and they mean the cruise terminal at 231 Windsor Way next to the Queen Mary, which Carnival Corporation owns and operates. That is where we drop you. The Los Angeles Cruise Terminal in San Pedro, at the Port of Los Angeles, is a different place with its own iRide360 page.

The cheapest iRide360 option for this airport transfer is the executive sedan, from $158 for your whole party, before optional gratuity. Shared shuttles charge per seat, so they cost less for one traveler and more for four. Rideshare pricing is dynamic and changes with demand. We do not publish other companies' prices, and ours is fixed when you book.

No. iRide360 does not publish a Long Beach cruise terminal schedule, sailing times or ship arrival times. Your cruise documents and your cruise line's app carry your boarding window, final boarding time and return arrival time. Tell us the time you want to be dropped off or collected and we build the ride around it.

Long Beach Airport (LGB) is the closest airport to Long Beach Cruise Terminal, and iRide360 serves it too. LAX is 22.3 miles away and is where most cruise passengers fly in, because it has far more flights. We also drive to and from Burbank, John Wayne and Ontario if your flights work better there.

Nothing on your side. Flight tracking is included, so we watch your arrival and move the pickup at no charge. The first 60 minutes after you land are free, and after that it is $1 per minute. If plans change completely, call dispatch on (833) 743-3360 and we adjust the booking; the price adjusts with it.

No. iRide360 is a prearranged licensed carrier, so your chauffeur collects you at your own terminal. Curbside means the lower Arrivals level; meet and greet means inside with a name sign. From the Tom Bradley International Terminal we meet you in the arrivals hall after customs, or at the lower-level curb. The LAX-it lot is for rideshare and taxis.

Yes to both. Extra stops are available and priced for the added distance and time, so add them when you book. Booster, forward-facing and rear-facing seats are from $25 each on request. There is a $25 pet fee for traveling pets. Tell dispatch what you need and it is set up before the ride.

Book as soon as your flights and your sailing date are set, especially for an early-morning pickup after a cruise. You can change the pickup time, the address or the vehicle online or through dispatch, and the price adjusts to match. There is no surge pricing, so booking early does not cost you more.
