UberX to pick up at Los Angeles International Airport

LOS ANGELES — Passengers arriving at Los Angeles International Airport will be allowed to leave in an UberX car starting Thursday morning.

LAX was a notable holdout against Uber's cheapest ride-hailing service, as taxi companies lobbied to keep out a potent competitor.

After months of negotiations, the agency overseeing LAX made the announcement Wednesday. The main catch: Passengers will have to go to the upstairs arrivals level. Also, each ride will have a $4 charge.

FYI: UberX will pick-up & drop-off on Upper/Departures level only. Uber Black, Uber SUV & Uber Luxx on Lower/Arrivals level only#travel
