Due to the fact i could not find many reviews online that were positive for International Transfer in LAX organised through Holiday Extras who then sub contracted this out to Hoppa. We were travelling to LA from Heathrow and landing on Christmas Eve 2024 - Due to arriving in at 18:30 PM we wanted to make sure we had a transfer booked and not reply on Uber or Taxi. We had to travel down to Costa Mesa after arrival so looking at 45 mins to 1hr transfer. In trying to pre book an Uber it was looking at only being able to book a black car and they wanted $300 each way!!! Our flight from Heathrow for two was only £1k so we were not willing to book that. The Booking So after a lot of research in the UK and talking with some friends I know who have done this trip we decided to book the international transfer through Holiday Extras as on Black Friday i got this for £108 RETURN!!! Holiday extras offered a gurentee (you can see this online so wont go over that) but i was Thats good, but we are landing PM USA time and then need to ensure we contact someone UK Christmas early hours of. They assured me the numbers would be answered 24/7 365 so i booked it. All booking info came through and when it did all emergency numbers were either Singapore or Hong Kong!!! So i checked with Holiday extras and they assured me that everything would go to plan. I would be contacted near the date with further details. Process On the 23rd (day before travel and arrival) we had a message from Hoppa - this came through WhatsApp and detailed everything. I was like who is Hoppa and wish i had not googled and looked up reviews!! As i could not find ONE positive one but also NONE for USA / LA. Main concerns - what is flight was late, what if they dont arrive and extra cost for car and delayed refund due to Christmas. I decided to forget it and worry about it on arrival. Arrival Once I turned my phone on i had a WhatsApp from the driver who clearly told me what to do. I messaged him to say that we were in emigration. Once we cleared emigration i notified him of waiting for bags and he replied each time. He was waiting off site at LAX. He asked to message once we have bags. He then told us what floor at LAX car park to go to and within 5 mins of coming outside he arrived. Pro - Communication was awesome and car was nice and large for two large cases and hand bags and us (i paid for an SUV and a little more) I also received a message off of my son who gave us a different address to go to different to that booked and this was not an issue. Drive was smooth and we were at apartment in 40mins Con - The driver was obviously a smoker and although wasn’t smoking the car smelt, but was so glad he arrived was not a major issue. Due to it being Christmas Eve i tipped $30 on top of what was pre paid - there was no pressure for tip and driver very grateful. Departure Again reviews that i had read on Hoppa had said that there was often NOT collection. We were leaving LA on the 6th Jan 5th Jan we had a message from Hoppa and then quickly the drive. Pick up was due at 17:00 for our return flight and needed an hour allowance - Driver actually arrived early and messaged no rush - picture was sent of car and where parked at our hotel pick up. Drive was great (and funny ) made us laugh all the way to LAX - she also took a different route to ensure we got there in plenty of time as she knew the traffic really well. I would defiantly use Holliday Extras International Transfer again and hope that this review will show up to help people not have the concerns i had before travel.
