I would just take the Parking Spot shuttle to the one near the In-N-Out and hail an UberX from there. Tip the driver and it's perfectly fine.

Really? They usually check for ur parking permit? If this works for everyone this is a nice hack.

You don't even need to go to a parking structure. Pick up the first hotel shuttle that comes by and then Uber from there. I've done this many times with no issues. Obviously it takes longer than getting picked up at the airport directly, but it still beats taking a cab.

As recently April, uber wouldn't even let you try to call uberX within the airport.

I've run into this at several airports -- seems the standard procedure is to set your pick-up location somewhere near the airport, then call the driver and tell them where you actually are.

UberPlus and up are allowed at LAX, just UberX isn't allowed, unless the UberX driver has a TCP sticker -- something most don't have.

Not true, I rode an UberX without a TCP sticker. That's why he had to get the temporary license.
