This happened to us at LAX too. We were just catching a cab to take us less than two miles to the offsite long term parking to get our car. He insisted it was a flat $25 rate. My husband insisted he start the meter. They argued until we said, fine we're getting out. He started the meter and it's was a $6 ride.
