I know that I am based at LAX, and never drive to another airport. I have taken cabs to LGB, SNA, BUR and VNY. I have taken a rental car to SBA. From my house to VNY is more than 90 miles, and in the contract (pointed out be a union guy) that I do not have to drive any farther that LAX.
(I will look up the contract page number and try to quote it)
And yes, park in a covered garage, as it is reimbursed. I use the Parking Spot next to the LAX Hilton. Runs about $120/week.
