Taxi from LAX to Best Western Sunrise

We will be in California in two weeks and do not want to rent a car. We%26#39;ve been in Los Angeles traffic and it is not for us! I have two questions:

1. How far is it to the Best Western Sunrise in Redondo Beach?

2. Approximate cost of the taxi cab from airport to hotel?

Thanks.

Taxi from LAX to Best Western Sunrise

A quick check with mapquest.com and It%26#39;s about 7 miles.

Taxi fares from LAX are $2.65 to start and $2.45 per mile plus a $2.50 surcharge (for fares originating from LAX) + plus ';waiting time'; (if the taxi is standing at a red light or stuck in traffic + tip.

Your cost would be approximately:

$2.65

$2.45 x 7 = $17.15

$2.50

$2 (guess)

$3.70

TOTAL: $28.00
