Getting to Marina del Rey from Los Angeles International Airport LAX is easy.
Driving; take Century Blvd. east to Sepulveda Blvd., north. Follow Sepulveda Blvd. to where it merges with Lincoln Blvd., veering left. Take Lincoln to Mindanao, turn left.
Public Bus; take the free LAX Shuttle from any of the terminals to Parking Lot C. Then walk the short distance to the LAX Transit Center. Take the Santa Monica Blue Bus #3 North to the corner of Mindanao & Lincoln; fare is currently $ 1.00, exact change needed.
Various Shuttle/Shared Ride Van Services; proceed outside and look for the overhead orange "Shared Ride Van" signs on the outer island and speak with a curbside representative for the current fare.
Taxi Service; there are various companies from the airport. Again, proceed outside the terminal and look for the overhead "TAXI" signs. The fare will run about $20+, including the airport service charge.
If you are traveling by train into Union Station, the easiest way, and most cost effective, will be to board a "Flyway Bus" which offers service to LAX every half hour from 5AM to 1AM, and then every hour between 1AM and 5AM for $7 one-way for adults and free for children under age 5. Then continue from LAX to Marina del Rey.
