Airport parking options at LAX
On-airport lots
There is short term parking available at the Central Terminal Parking Lots starting at $3 for first hour and $2 for each 30 minutes after. Long term parking is available through Lot C though you can usually find a cheaper daily rate at an off-airport lot.
3rd party lots
Because on-airport, long term parking is limited to Lot C at LAX, you may want to consider a third-party lot to save some money. Private lots are generally further from the airport but will usually offer a shuttle that is less than a ten minute ride to the terminal. Some lots offer premium options like covered/indoor parking and valet services. Check for promo codes before booking to save some extra money.
Prices are $7 - $32 / day
Hotels
There are several hotel parking options as well. You may be able to find a better deal than the third-party lots depending on your dates. Look out for the fees that you will pay through the booking websites as well as minimum night stay requirements.
Prices range from $7 - $50 / day (not including booking fee)

Hotel lots
There are several LAX hotel lots that range from $7 - $50 per day. I found the best deals on GottaPark, way, and Airport LAX although I have not personally booked with any of these sites. Many hotels in the LAX area require a minimum two-night stay to park long-term so be sure to check the terms before booking.
The important thing to remember is that the websites linked below don’t actually operated the hotel parking or shuttles. The hotels do. You’re just booking through these sites kind of like you would with Orbitz or Travelocity for flights.
It is recommended you review my guide to airport parking, particularly the section on hotel lots here to learn more information about hotel sites prior to booking.
