San Pedro is the southernmost neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles – a historic port community defined by the Port of Los Angeles (the nation’s busiest container port), the Vincent Thomas Bridge, and a rugged, blue-collar maritime character that makes it unlike any other LA neighborhood. San Pedro is also a leisure destination: Cabrillo Beach, Angels Gate Park, the Korean Bell of Friendship, the Warner Grand Theatre, and the thriving Arts District along 6th and 7th Streets attract visitors who discover a neighborhood with genuine soul and waterfront beauty. The Ports O’ Call Village and the growing AltaSea development are transforming the waterfront into a major recreational and cultural destination.

San Pedro’s geographic isolation at the southern tip of Los Angeles – connected to the city by the Harbor Freeway (110) – means transportation to and from the area is more challenging than in other parts of LA. Getting to LAX from San Pedro requires navigating either the 110 to the 105 (fast in light traffic) or winding through Lomita and Hawthorne (slower but sometimes faster when the freeway is backed up). Cruise ship passengers arriving at the World Cruise Center need reliable taxi service for transfers to LAX, Long Beach Airport, or downtown hotels.

We specialize in cruise ship terminal pickups, Cabrillo Beach area rides, and airport transfers to LAX (typically 20 – 30 minutes). Whether you’re a cruise passenger, a port worker, or a San Pedro resident, we dispatch immediately 24 hours a day. Call (800) 521-8294.
