Oxnard Airport

This is a small airport off of 5^th Street in Oxnard owned by the county. The airport is classified as a non-​hub commercial service airport.
The airport is home for one full service fixed base operator providing services such as aircraft charters, aircraft maintenance, and pilot supplies. The airport also hosts several car rental agencies, and shuttle van service to Los Angeles International Airport.
Other than needing to rent a car or schedule a shuttle van to LAX, it seems like a lot of space to take up that doesn’t really serve the general population of Ventura County. There’s probably a better use for the land. Just saying…

Airport is OK, but do NOT rent at Budget.
It is a franchise and has one of the cheapest owners ever, who maintains his cars poorly. Rent at one of the other places, do not even consider Budget.

If you are renting a car in this area go to Dollar Car Rental!
Okay this isn’t about the airport but Dollar Car Rental inside the airport. They Rock!!! Was having a horrible vacation and Matt from Dollar rental got me a car when absolutley no other car rental place would. No body else would because i only had a debit card and was only 22 and not military or from Ventura what the heck right? Well Anyways if you are renting a car in this area go to Dollar Car Rental.

I come here to rent vehicles at Budget and Enterprise. I like the service.

This is a really quaint, very friendly little airport. United is the only airline and only has a few flights per day, but this airport has all the amenities of a regular airport, including rental cars.
I had a three-​day meeting with a client in Port Hueneme and Oxnard is a lot closer than LAX. And, for me, it was about 50 bucks cheaper to fly into Oxnard than LAX, even though the flight to LAW would have been the same one under either itinerary.
The planes United operates from LAX to Oxnard are all Embraer EMB 120 Brasilias. If you do not like small planes or turbo props, then flying to Oxnard will not be for you. These 19-​person planes are the biggest thing that Oxnard can land. And, for me, when I flew in, the wind was very strong and the EMB 120s are very susceptible to wind affects. For instance, when we left LAX, the wind hit the plane and threw it about 30 degrees on the X-​axis. Even though we were still going «forward» I was looking behind us down the runway only a few feet below. Oxnard also had strong winds and the plane bounced on landing. The whole point of this is to warn you that though convenient and friendly, Oxnard can be a bumpy trip.
I strongly recommend using Oxnard as a point of origin and return if you live nearby. It’s a 13-​minute flight to LAX, the people there (even the TSA staff) are amazingly friendly, from security to boarding I only needed seven minutes, and getting on a plane here rather than dealing with the stress of L.A. traffic will probably start your trip more pleasantly.

Absolutely the fastest way to get to LAX if you’re leaving from Ventura County. Yes, I paid a lot more than I would’ve if I just bought gas and drove, but, I was up in the air and down within 20 – 30 minutes from Oxnard.
The terminal is SUPER small and I don’t even know if they even have commercial airlines flying out to LAX anymore.
The only thing I was a little weary about was the plane that flew out of here to LAX reminded me of those wind up toy airplanes that make that annoying toy plane noise. Being somewhat afraid of heights, I’d rather be a in a huge 747 than something you can take down with a slingshot. Just my two cents. Overall, fast, hardly a wait (just waited for the plane to pull up and walk onto that stairway truck thing) and super convenient if you’re in the area and don’t want to drive to LAX or Santa Barbara.
