I prefer the Prime Time vans over the Super Shuttle at LAX. In traffic in the morning, going north from Long Beach/San Pedro, you will want to allow one hour for traffic. All the trucks are leaving the port on the 710 freeway - same one you use to go to the 405 to LAX. Prime time also has a new car service - not Town Cars, but, Ford Crown Vics and drivers that are more reasonable if you don't mind being in a regular car.
