The answer currently 4-3-2015 is Yes and No.

Yes Some Uber Vehicles are legal to Pick up at LAX. But No Not all Uber vehicles can pick up at LAX. Here is the breakdown

Uber X - About 2 % of all the UberX vehicles are legal to pick up at LAX

Uber XL - Also About 2%

Uber Plus - About 50% of them are legal to pick up at LAX

Uber Black Probably 99% are legal to Pick up at LAX

Uber SUV Again 99%

So what does this mean? When a plane lands and 40 people open the Uber app for a car all of the cheaper options get taken up first. So usually all that is left are the more expensive options where higher percentages of he vehicles are legal to do business at LAX.

And yes All Uber vehicles are being allowed to drop off at LAX currently, but that is only at the permission of the LAXPD. The PUC has stated if Uber does not have an agreement in place with an airport they are not to be on the grounds of an airport doing business.

This is why the cars that are legal to to business at the airport have an agreement in place with LAX to do business there. So they could pick up thier own clients but most of the time they are picking up Uber clients. But that does not mean Uber has an agreement in place with the Airport. Because they do not.
