Long Beach Airport Rent a car or Uber?

[VGCgroupie]

Ive never flown into LGB and I cant decide if we should rent a car or Uber? We get free parking with DVC. Right now the car rental is around $155 keeping it the whole time.

Ive rented at SNA and didn't love how far the car rental pick up was and Uber ride is short so for SNA Id for sure Uber.

In October 2023 we took Uber from VDL to LGB and it was $44 with the tip. Its a short trip and I think it's cheaper to Uber each way. Especially if your not going to use the car during your stay,

LGB is tiny! Unless you plan on venturing way outside of the immediate area, Uber is probably cheaper and way less hassle than dealing with a rental car. $155 is a lot for a few days, especially if you're already getting free parking.

Thanks! I was seeing about $55 each way. It's so hard to guesstimate the Uber prices ahead of time.

Cross check with Lyft. I've found it a few bucks cheaper than Uber. We've done both, rental and Lyft, from Long beach. Rideshare was cheaper for stays more than a couple days. Rental was easy, we used Hertz. The office was about 30 feet further walk past the rideshare pickup.

Awesome thanks! Happy to hear the rental is so close if I decide to go that route.
