> If You Need to Wait: There's no need to circle the airport. If your passenger isn't ready, use the Cell Phone Waiting Lot (vehicles must be attended at all times) or one of the nearby Terminal Parking Structures (grace period included).
> Rideshare & Taxi Policy: Drivers for rideshare services and taxis can be found outside the CTA in designated areas (like the Cell Phone Waiting Lot). After exiting proceed directly to the LAX-it lot for pickup once a ride is confirmed.
