Traveling to Los Angeles by Air

The Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is approximately 17 miles from California College of ASU. Local buses run 24 hours a day to the various hotels in the Hollywood area. Look for information booths or inquire at the airline desk at the airport. There are also several car rental agencies at the airport. Car rental policies generally require a valid driver’s license and a major credit card. Some companies will not rent to you if you are under 25 years old. It is best to check specific details before you leave home.
