Santamonica, beverly hill, Malibu

Hi all,
Son and I are going to LA in September for 5 days. Staying in Santa Monica and visiting Beverly Hills, Malibu...what is the best way of transportation since we are not renting a car? Is it Uber, Taxi etc.. Thank you, Lynn

Taxis are virtually non-existant in L.A.

Uber will likely be your best bet but will likely be pricey. You would be much better off renting a car.
