Listen to Brady, book at Enterprise for a complete satisfactory experience.
Verified travelerJan 2024
Driving is a challenge but with the type of car, it becomes easy
Verified travelerNov 2023
Anaheim is very easy to drive in. The rental agency was very close and had a car the next day when we needed it. I'd use Alamo again.
Verified travelerNov 2023
Road was fantastic. Drive after 7pm onwards so it will be less traffic.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Anaheim

  • As a visitor to Anaheim, you should rent a car to experience this extensive city. The best way to get around Anaheim is in your own vehicle, rather than depending on time-consuming public transportation. With a hire car, you will have the following local attractions at your disposal: Disneyland, Anaheim Garden Walk, California Adventure, and the rest of Orange County.
  • Excited to rent a car on your trip to Anaheim? If you are landing at John Wayne Airport, you will find the on-site hire car desks located in the Arrivals Hall, on the lower level, between Terminals A and B and opposite the statue of John Wayne. If you are using an off-site car hire company then you will be picked up by a shuttle from the Terminal.
  • Driving in Anaheim is an enjoyable experience as it’s blessed with good quality highways and freeways that link to other Californian cities. You will find many HOV and carpool lanes, also known as “diamond lanes,” which mean you must have at least two people in the car when driving in these lanes. Another thing to remember in urban areas of Anaheim is to always slow down when you see school zones or crosswalk signs.
  • On weekdays, Anaheim’s morning rush hour is usually between 7:30 am and 9:00 am, with freeways being the most congested at these times. During the afternoon, rush hour begins at 3:00 pm and lasts until 6:00 pm. You can expect the gridlock to start early on Fridays, and again on Sunday afternoons, when drivers rush to leave the city for the weekend.
  • Anaheim has several roads important for getting around the city. Interstate 5 (I-5) is the main freeway that runs through Anaheim and connects the city to Los Angeles and San Diego. It's important to note that the I-5 can be quite busy, especially during rush hour, so it's important to plan accordingly if you need to drive on it during peak hours. To navigate the I-5, make sure to stay in the right lane if you're driving slower, and use the left lane if you're passing other vehicles. Another major road is Harbor Boulevard, which runs through the heart of Anaheim and is home to many of the city's most popular attractions, including Disneyland and Anaheim Convention Center. To navigate Harbor Boulevard, be prepared for heavy pedestrian traffic, especially during peak tourist season.
  • The drunk driving laws in Anaheim, CA, are similar to those in other parts of California. It is illegal to operate a motor vehicle if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is 0.08% or higher. If you are under 21 years of age, this limit is reduced to 0.01%. It is also illegal to drive while under the influence of drugs or a combination of drugs and alcohol. The penalties for DUI in California can include fines, licence suspension and even jail time.
  • To book cheap car hire in Anaheim, you need to meet several requirements. First, you must be at least 21 years old, although some hire companies may require you to be 25 or older. Secondly, you must have a valid driver's licence, and in some cases, you may need to have held your licence for a certain period of time. When hiring a car, you will typically need to provide a credit card for payment and a deposit, as well as proof of insurance.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Anaheim for $140 or less
  • Book your car hire in Anaheim at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Anaheim are around 36% cheaper than other car types, on average

The rudest manager I’ve ever witnessed. Liar employees that called to confirm my reservation the day before and when I got there my car was not there. The manager said I have no control over this when I asked who has control he said I’m the manager but I can’t control anything here and sent me away. He didn’t care and was making fun of another customer who wanted to pay cash with another employee right in front me. That store either needs to close down or the whole team needs to change because it’s ruining enterprise reputation. I would never rent from enterprise again because time is gold and I waisted 2 hours of my time that day driving to OC from LA. Bad business very bad!!!!!

Pros:

That the inside of the car was clean and there was a full tank.

Cons:

When you book a car online they have the car you booked not make you take a $2 a day upgrade when it was there fault for not having the car in the first place. Also they need to train there employees to take better care of the customers and not let them stand in the lobby waiting to be checked out while they wait check everyone else out. And they could have washed the car saying it rained the day before is no excuse to give me a dirty on the outside car.

The location we went to had terrible customer service. Their website said they close at 4pm. We booked for a car pick up around 12 pm and I got to the location around 12:15pm. Come to find out they stuck a printed piece of paper on their door saying they close at 12pm. We did not receive a curtesy call saying they are closing early. No email from them either. When I got to the location, there were still employees inside that can clearly see me and another couple there who had a 12 pm pick up as well. No associate came to talk to us. No associate even acknowledged us. Later on we see them run out the back door really fast and lock up. I went up to someone to ask what was going on and all one of them said was “we are closed already.” Customer service was just absolutely terrible. Had there been better communication or at least a heads up that they planned on closing early, no one would have been upset but the way they handled everything was terrible and upsetting.
