City advice

Getting around

Uber and Lyft or Car Rental Recommended

Uber and Lyft are convenient modes of transportation when traveling. If you are traveling internationally be sure to setup your account in advance. Renting a car is also a convenient options especially if you have many plans or are traveling quite a distance outside the city. Street parking is typically available in front of the residence. Public transportation is available but Los Angeles has not been a great city for public transportation since the early 20th century.
