Could you please tell me if the location for returning the car at Los Angeles airport is far from the departure terminal? I saw in some travel notes that because of traffic jams, the shuttle bus took one hour... Do I have enough time if my flight is at 11:30 am and I am scheduled to return the car at 9:30 am ?

Normal 15 minutes Definitely traffic jam 2 hours is not enough Security check queue reserved time

It was very congested, and we had to return the car at 9:30 in the evening, almost missing the 12:10 flight.

Not knowing about the traffic jam on the road, airport security is also very slow.

International flights are best to arrive at the airport two hours in advance, so time is still very tight. I didn't encounter any traffic jams, but you also need to reserve an hour, and I don't know which car service you are using.

It is recommended to return the car the night before, and then take an Uber to the airport the next day, because one is that the time to return the car is not easy to control, and the other is that an extra day's car money will be charged the next day. Adjust according to your own itinerary.

1. After returning the car, you take a shuttle bus to the airport. It doesn't depart immediately, you have to wait until it's full. 2. The traffic to the airport is very congested, and the bus won't let you off until it's properly parked. Many times, you're just a meter or two away from getting off the bus and you're anxious. 3. After getting off at T3, you still have to walk a distance to TB. 4. There are a lot of people checking in their luggage. If there are a lot of people when returning the car, you have to wait. If there are problems during the inspection, do you argue or not?

Why not return the car the night before? Most hotels near the airport have airport shuttle buses. It's not better to go to the airport at ease? The plane is at 11 o'clock, and you can't play other places in the morning.

It's definitely too late, return the car earlier.
