LAX to Crypto.com Arena
About 15 miles · 25–35 min on clear roads, 60–90 min at rush hour or before a big event. Same route back, Crypto.com Arena to LAX. Group shuttles and charter buses.
Quick answer: Crypto.com Arena is about 15 miles from LAX by road (13–17 depending on route), usually the I-105 to the I-110 or the I-405 to the I-10. Expect 25–35 minutes on clear roads and 60–90 minutes at weekday rush hour or ahead of a Lakers or Kings game or major concert. Crypto.com Arena to LAX is the same distance; plan around post-event traffic leaving L.A. Live.
Crypto.com Arena sits at L.A. Live in downtown’s South Park district, roughly 15 miles from LAX. Unlike the Inglewood venues, this is a freeway transfer — and the freeways involved are among the busiest in the region, so the clock matters far more than the mileage.
The two common routes are the I-105 east to the I-110 north, or the I-405 north to the I-10 east, and which is faster changes by the hour. A group landing at 3pm for a 7pm game is driving straight into weekday rush and arena arrivals at once; the same trip late morning is a half-hour drive. Public options exist — the LAX FlyAway runs to Union Station, and Metro rail reaches Pico Station beside the arena with transfers — but neither suits a group with luggage on a schedule.
GTS Charter picks up at LAX’s designated commercial-vehicle areas, tracks the flight so the coach is there when the group clears baggage, and drops at the arena’s bus area on Chick Hearn Court rather than circling Figueroa Street for curb space. If the group is staying downtown, we can route via the hotel first when the schedule allows.

Common Questions
LAX to Crypto.com Arena FAQs
How far is Crypto.com Arena from LAX?
About 15 miles by road, 13 to 17 depending on whether you take the I-105 and I-110 or the I-405 and I-10. The drive takes 25 to 35 minutes on clear roads and 60 to 90 minutes at weekday rush hour or ahead of a major event downtown.
How long is the drive from Crypto.com Arena to LAX?
The same distance in reverse. Late at night after a game or concert the freeways are usually lighter, but getting out of L.A. Live while the arena empties can add significant time before the vehicle reaches the freeway. Groups catching a late flight should plan around that.
Is there a shuttle from LAX to Crypto.com Arena?
There is no direct public shuttle. The LAX FlyAway bus runs to Union Station, and Metro rail reaches Pico Station next to the arena with transfers, but neither is practical for a group with luggage on a fixed schedule. GTS Charter runs private group shuttles and charter buses from LAX directly to the arena or your downtown hotel.
Where does a charter bus drop off at Crypto.com Arena?
Charter buses use the arena's designated bus area off Chick Hearn Court rather than the Figueroa Street curb. On event nights surrounding streets close or restrict access, and our drivers plan the approach around those closures.
