Emergency numbers and money in Los Angeles

The numbers to have before you need them: emergency and city lines, the airport's own, hospitals near LAX, the hotlines that block a lost card, the major banks, money transfer and exchange, roadside and transit help. Every number dials from your phone; every name opens the official site.

Numbers are the organisations' published lines as of October 2026; US toll-free numbers (800, 855, 866, 877, 888) work from a US phone or a roaming phone on a US network. From abroad, dial +1 first.
