KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Simi Valley

  • Hiring a car offers unrivalled flexibility and convenience, granting you the freedom to explore the city and its environs at your leisure. By opting for car hire in Simi Valley, you’ll be able to easily visit a variety of locations that may otherwise require significant amounts of planning to reach. For example, you’ll be able to see the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, home to an array of the former president's documents and a replica of the Oval Office. Alternatively, you could head out of town and hike through the beautiful Santa Susana Pass State Historic Park, renowned for its hiking trails and sweeping views.
  • If you're landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), you won’t find the hire car desks in the airport terminal itself. To take advantage of car hire in Simi Valley, you’ll need to go to the Rental Car Center. Once you’ve grabbed your bags, use the free shuttle bus service, which can be found outside the luggage claim area at each terminal. Shuttle buses typically run every 10-15min, 24 hours a day, and are labelled with each car hire company's logo. Once you’ve hopped on one of these buses, it’ll take you directly to the Rental Car Center. In order to complete your Simi Valley car hire booking, you’ll need to provide your driving licence, passport, international driving permit (if necessary) and a credit/debit card for the deposit.
  • Driving in Simi Valley, like much of Southern California, is generally a hassle-free experience. This is especially true if you're comfortable with typical American driving styles, which are generally calm and orderly. Roads in Simi Valley are well maintained and clearly marked, and the city is laid out in a grid pattern, which makes navigation relatively straightforward. If you’re looking to explore the rest of California while you’re there, the highways connecting Simi Valley to other parts of California are also in good condition.
  • Like many places in California, traffic can become heavy during rush hours, particularly on weekdays in the morning (07:00-09:00) and in the late afternoon (16:00-18:00), especially on the major routes into the city such as Los Angeles Avenue and Tapo Canyon Road. It's advisable to plan your journey to avoid these peak times, as it can be a very stressful experience if you're not accustomed to driving in heavy traffic. Likewise, if you are travelling outside Simi Valley, the freeway system in Southern California can be complex, with multiple lanes and frequent interchanges; it’s best to attempt it when the roads are relatively empty.
  • Book your car hire in Simi Valley at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Simi Valley?

    If you're planning to go for car hire in Simi Valley and stay within the city and its immediate surroundings, a small to midsize car is usually sufficient. These cars are easier to manoeuvre through city streets, more fuel-efficient and generally easier to park in tighter spaces. However, if you're planning on taking any trips into the mountainous areas nearby, or if you have a larger group or a lot of luggage, an SUV or a larger car might be a better option. These vehicles are often more comfortable for longer drives and provide more space for passengers and their belongings.

  • What’s the speed limit in Simi Valley?

    Speed limits in Simi Valley are typically 25 mph in residential zones, up to 45 mph on larger streets and 65 mph on freeways, unless otherwise posted. California has strict laws regarding speed, so it's important to adhere to the speed limits.

  • Where are the best places to park in Simi Valley?

    Parking in Simi Valley is typically straightforward. Attractions such as the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library provide free parking for visitors. If you're visiting the Simi Valley Town Center, free parking is available in the large car park surrounding the shopping complex. Likewise, the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center and the Strathearn Historical Park and Museum offer free parking for visitors. For street parking, always check the posted signs for any restrictions or permit requirements. Some residential areas may have restrictions for non-residents.

I wasn’t told the purchase of insurance was optional. I was told I could either choose basic or full coverage so they made it seem I had to choose one or the other. That cost was half of what the daily rental amount was so it really jacked up the price.
