KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Los Angeles

  • Get ready to explore the dazzling sights of Los Angeles on the road trip of a lifetime. When you rent a car on your vacation, you will enjoy the freedom of discovering each corner of the city at your own pace. Rather than relying on public transport, opt for a hire car to easily navigate this sprawling city. Don’t miss the beaches, never-ending boulevards, or the Hollywood Hills -- all easily reached by car.
  • If you are flying into Los Angeles International Airport, you need to be aware that all the hire car companies are off-site. When you land, you will need to exit your terminal and use the courtesy shuttles. Your first option for your pickup is to go to the Lower/Arrivals Level islands outside baggage claim and wait by the "hire Car Shuttles" sign. Alternatively, you can go to the LAX Shuttle Airline Connection and take a shuttle bus to the Remote hire Car Depot.
  • Driving in Los Angeles can be challenging due to the city’s infamous traffic. Therefore, as a visitor, you should look out for Carpool and High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes. You will be able to spot these designated lanes on most of LA’s freeways. Whilst HOV lanes are found on the far left, you can spot a Carpool lane from the diamond painted on the road. To use these lanes, you must have at least 2 people in the car.
  • During weekdays, rush hour in Los Angeles starts between 5:00 am and 10:00 am. In the afternoon the roads are busy from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, although you should avoid driving on a Friday. You can also expect heavy traffic on weekend evenings, especially in or out of downtown and Hollywood. The best way to avoid traffic is to stick to driving through the connecting neighborhoods. Thankfully, the city is set out in a grid, so you have a variety of options for crossing town.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Los Angeles for $56 or less
  • Book your car hire in Los Angeles at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport car hire locations in Los Angeles are around 11% more expensive than airport locations on average
  • Compact hire cars in Los Angeles are around 83% cheaper than other car types, on average

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in Los Angeles 
Verified travelerOct 2024
Use one of the national names - I rent in LA all the time, and they are efficient, all costs are clear from the reservation confirmation and the shuttles arrive and depart regularly. If you use a consolidator who does not tell you the name of the rental agency, I would say, don't take it because you might end up with one of the smaller groups, which are less convenient and far less transparent. The low price is not worth the aggravation of dealing with the smaller rental groups.

small toyota corolla, easy to park, good pick up and boot and economical
StefanOct 2024
The remote car rentals (Ace, Sixt, etc.) are a little harder to get to (two buses), but they drop off directly at the airport when you return the car, so it’s easier than it seems.
Verified travelerOct 2024
The economy rental companies are cheap but you must be careful and read all the fine prints.

Probably a hybrid car is the best in Los Angeles concerning the slow traffic.
Verified travelerSept 2024
Check with U-save before going with another rental car company.
Verified travelerSept 2024
plan extra time for the pick up - min 1 hour
Verified travelerJune 2024
Take the extra time to book from an offsite (away from the the airport) location. Let local people drive you out of and back into the airport. Save your driving for road trips from your hotel. The shuttle is free. Don't worry. If you're kind to the people and your car it will be a great experience. If the extra insurance that they offer you is affordable to you buy it. Otherwise don't worry. It's not a scam to get you to pay for previous dings and scuffs. If you want just call your own insurance before you leave and pay them. You are allowed to decline Aces insurance. Monday morning lineups weren't to bad at the rental office.
Verified travelerJuly 2024
It's a little confusing how to get to the Midway lot. Make sure you take the M (Metro) Line bus which is at the PINK column (NOT the purple column which takes you to the main rental center). The Metro bus will take you to a bus stop where transfer vans are waiting for all the smaller, non recognizable, car rental companies. Jump in the van for Midway, and you'll be at their lot within a few minutes. It's a little convoluted to get to them, but they do a great job in customer service, and their prices are great, so I think it's worth it.

Most rental car places are closed in anaheim on Sunday by 4pm. So if renting to drop off one way from Lax to anaheim, look at dropping off to John Wayne airport which is only 20mins from anaheim. This way you can avoid the parking costs at hotels etc if you don’t need the vehicle during your stay.
Verified travelerJune 2024
Hybrids or electric cars are great for LA, as we have one of the highest gas prices in the nation and there are tons of electric charging station for every type of car with convenient locations across the city.
Verified travelerJuly 2024
My advice is to find a smaller location near LAX to avoid the long wait, and to avoid renting during a holiday. Overall, I was happy with Budget.
lonnieJuly 2024
AVR was a good place to rent a large vehicle. They have rented to me on a prior trip. Good team and good value.

We rented a Nissan Rogue and both pick up and drop off were easy and quick. We would recommend Sixt.

I rented a full size car for my wife and kid. It was great on gas.
KayeAug 2024
Get something fuel efficient and not flashy. Look for rentals that don't charge you extra per mile and will let you use your own car insurance. Also keep in mind many of them will want a credit card (not a debit card) on file, so make sure you bring one!
Verified travelerAug 2024
Look at rental car company ratings before you book and not just the price. The price often coincides with the level of service.
Verified travelerJune 2024
Be ready for a long wait at the rental car location or arrive at a time when there is low traffic.
Verified travelerJune 2024
If your insurance doesn't cover rentals or if you don't mind paying for a second, this is a good place.

With the price of gas higher than we pay here in Florida, I would suggest a mid size car.

Stick with the reputable rental agencies.
DaleMar 2024
If you are renting a vehicle in LA be sure to check your insurance coverage ( automobile and credit card) as you can save a lot of money by not having to purchase from a car rental company. Understand if you plan on using any toll roads and get a transponder from the rental company so you don’t rack up an unnecessary expense. Book a vehicle to suit your needs and get something that gets good gas mileage. Gas is around $5 a gallon around LA.
Verified travelerMar 2024
If you find a rental place you like, stick with them. I'd like to continue with U-Save when the need arises. They were helpful, courteous and it was easy in and out when getting vehicle.

Ace Rentals are best value and great service.
Verified travelerApr 2024
Economy rental was very cheap and a great value for the money. However, if time is of essence, look in to going with a more established agency who can pick you up directly from the airpot or Uber to Economy Car Rental's location. That is probably going to be much faster.
Verified travelerApr 2024
If you’re on a tight budget, Ace appears to be the most cost effective option, just know you’ll pay in time rather than dollars (in most cases). Give yourself plenty of time when renting with this company.
Verified travelerApr 2024
At LA was everything easy and quick to star the journey. My only concern is about the cleanness of the car, since we picked up the car, it was not as expected.
JeffreyMar 2024
Don't rent too small or too large. You want visibility, but you also need to navigate down residential streets with vehicles parked on both sides.
Verified travelerApr 2024
Pick as small a vehicle as is suitable because very large vehicles are difficult to drive and park.

Driving in LA is not as bad as you may expect, the traffic is the worst when you get stuck on the highway during rush hour. Parking in city may be difficult to find depending on where you are but there is always a garage nearby, and quite a few have EV charging capabilities.
T2020Feb 2024
Read reviews before choosing a rental company , call to confirm if any hidden charges. Make sure get all documentations needed to show them( for example, insurance card) if you don’t want to buy from the rental company. Set your GPS “ no toll” if you don’t want to get fined

Driving from LAX to Anaheim and back is not a hard drive. There will be traffic in and out of LAX just leave yourself time. If you don’t need to take a turn off or exit for a number of miles /km stay in the middle lanes. If you have multiple people, get in the carpool lanes, just leave enough distance to get over to your exits (2miles/3.5km).
Verified travelerOct 2023
Choose high name brand rentals, like Budget or Hertz. The cost seems higher but will have better coverage, cars, and a smooth and quick process. Rental companies with lower prices will end up having more hidden fees and issues that will result in similarly priced rentals but with 10x the problems.

Book online for better price. Do some research about the provided insurance cover to ensure this suits you. They try to sell the toll included for additional cost which is way higher than what you might have to pay in case of using a toll road. I travelled in 7 states and did not come across a single unavoidable toll road.

Make sure you use the major car rental agency when possible. Completely videotape the car when you’re taking it out check all your documentation because these little outfits try to scam you nickel dime all day long. It’s worth millions of dollars to them and commissions to the agents taking advantage of customers specially senior citizens is, a serious offense.

Coming from the East Coast, we were worried about the famous LA traffic and parking. In actuality, during our 5 night stay in West Hollywood, any where we drive to, the traffic wasn’t too bad. Meter parking & public parking garages were plentiful & reasonably priced.

There is a lot of traffic & it helps to have a passenger check your blind spots. Stay out of express lanes (as they are basically toll roads). Parking can be tight but just takes some extra looking around.

Driving in LA is fairly straight forward but not for the faint of heart, as it is very very busy, and people drive fast. Traffic congestion can change drive times very quickly, leading to unexpected delays, so try and allow lots of wiggle room for your plans.

Traffic was really heavy during rush hour mornings and after work, avoid driving during these times. Congestion can cause 15-20 mins of delays from one destination to another. Pay attention to highways on summit and valley. Also, pay attention to the HOV lanes that required fast trek transponder as there will be hefty surcharge from car rental if you went inside HOV that requires that. You can set "avoid tolls" on your Google map.

AndyMay 2023
Don’t let the rental companies up-sell toll passes unless you are sure you will need them. You probably won’t. LA drivers generally consider a turn signal as a an invitation to speed up into the space you want to move into. I learned to signal just before changing lanes. Many drivers in LA don’t signal at all.

Sixt's capacity to partner with a renter's existing auto insurance company is VERY limited. I have Geico auto insurance and they do NOT cover rentals from Sixt. This means that I MUST utilize Sixt's expensive rental car insurance. I wasted valuable time showing up to rent a the car I reserved from Sixt only to find out from my vehicle insurance company, Geico, that I would not be covered. The Sixt agent was cagey and dodged my questions about insurance coverage for my scheduled rental. PLUS they had none of the cars I had hoped to rent. I will not be using Kayak and DEFINITELY not be using Sixt for any future car rental needs. I wasted so much of my time dealing with this clusterf**k of a scheduled rental. I have a long memory and feel like I got burned by you . I ended up renting directly from Enterprise. Geico does provide insurance for their rentals.

Because of the terrible traffic jam in Los Angeles, I almost missed the plane. I left riverside to go to the airport, and the traffic jam took me 4 hours. I was really devastated. In the end, I was charged $200 for gas because I didn't have time to refuel, which really made me really so much sad.

very slow pick up at LA. The shuttle was small and not frequent enough. Crowds are waiting for Sixt. Once again when we finally reached the counter the waiting line was long. More than 80 min to pick up the car in total...

The customer service isn't exceptional, but it's adequate. This is a respectable car company, one of the few remaining in an industry often marked by dishonesty. The staff were nice and helpful. The car was nice and clean. But we did experience over 40mins of delay before the car became available.

This was the most pleasant car rental experience from start to finish. Our check in agent was so friendly and accommodating, the car was clean and easy to check in and out, and when our flight was delayed 12 hours they were so kind in extending our rental. I will preferentially rent from Sixt in the future!

i did not rent the car from Midway due to the untold mileage restrictions placed upon locals that live in Los Angeles, California. I was informed after waiting more than 1 hour in line that it would be $400.00 holding on a credit card. I absolutely am disappointment in both Kayak and Midway. I will not look at Kayak as a travel search option again, Also, since I did not rent a car at Midway LAX . Kayak please return the insurance coverage back to me.

Apparently they have a policy that you need to have a return flight booked 24 hours before you rent a car. I got there late in the evening, and because I didn’t already have the return trip booked, they wouldn’t rent me my car, and told me to walk to another rental car place 5 minutes away. The people I talked to there seemed to despise their job. Will never try and rent here again.

When we arrived at the pickup counter line, Avis had 5 agents behind the counter. 4 of the 5 went on break when they were done with their customer, leaving just one agent at the counter and a growing line behind us. Then the single counter agent started handling people who walked in straight to the counter to exchange their cars. At that point there was no moving line and it didn’t look like we had any option for talking to an agent. Finally an agent came back from break and seemed to be very annoyed that she had to deal with people. Car was dirty, I couldn’t see how the back window. It was wiped down, but streaked with white material.

The car was not cleaned thoroughly when picked up. Tires were not in a great shape resulting in vibrations. Windshield was damaged at one spot. Poor instructions have been given as for the place where the car was located and how to find it. I wish the customers are better guided within the lot as to where the vehicle is located.

Tires are not inspected for the renters. Was so disappointed coz the inner parts of all tire are bald and we are traveling in the middle of summer (118 degrees). The safety of the passengers are always the concern of the company

I felt a lil duped. I purchased a standard SUV that said it would fit 4 people and 5 bags but when I arrived was told it wouldn’t fit and had to pay $40/extra for a car that could fit it. The standard SUV for hertz is actually an intermediate or compact SUV which is odd bc it’s normally much bigger than those. I would’ve rented from somewhere else had I known I wouldn’t get a standard that could fit us.

They did not have a car for me even though I successfully booked it. They told me they called and left a message but I had no missed calls and no messages. They said it was because I booked the day before but they waited until I showed up the next day to tell me there were no cars. Put me in a really rough spot and were super unfriendly. I figured it out with enterprise who were so much friendlier to me.

They charged me for additional fuel at drop-off even though I refueled before dropping car off. So don’t leave without confirming with the agent the fuel level and to get a receipt. Additionally, customer service is awful; I could not even call in to complain and get assistance. They just said to fill out an online form and email my issue and they would reply in 3-5 business days. But then how can they investigate my issue? Horrible customer service when you cannot speak directly with anyone about your issue!

Picking up the car took over an hour despite having a reservation, the line was just wrapped around the building, and only one person was allowed inside per reservation. The issue is that everyone forgot to bring in their partners license to add them as a second driver, so they had to go back outside to get it which took a lot of extra time. I was also charged for an 1/8 of a tank of gas despite having filled the entire tank up a few blocks away. No one wanted to see our receipt for gas at all.

Pick up was great. Rico, who was helping me, was an absolute pleasure. However, driving off the lot was the worst experience. It took me close to 45 mins to leave. It was the slowest process to leave. Will never be renting a car from LAX again.

Pick up was terrible, long waiting line very very long, online check line was offered and when I got at the very end, it didn’t work so I had to go see a staff a counter because the online don’t always work from what I understand from the staff and it happened the exact same thing to the family we were travelling with. At counter, they were trying to sell us all kind of coverage, insurance although we declined…. We lost about 20 mins just for that when it only took 10 mins to complet the rental. But drop off was pretty smooth.

I waited in line for 3 and 1/2 hours to pick up the car I had reserved and paid for. No explanation as to why it took so long. No apology. Then when we got the car, it stunk of cigarettes and marijuana. Needless to say, I will definitely not be using Thrifty or Kayak ever again.

Scheduled to pick up car at 6:00 pm. I checked in on the app to avoid lines. I took a picture of my driver’s license and uploaded it and then waited. The app kept telling me to wait and it refreshed every 15 minutes. I eventually asked a Dollar employee about the app and was told to get in line because the app didn’t work. I waited in line for another hour to check in. Then waited until about 9:45 pm when my name was called for a car. I went to the spot for the car and the car wasn’t there. I came back in and told them the spot was empty where they told me there was a car. I had to wait another 15 to 20 minutes to finally get my vehicle which, as it turns out, wasn’t the vehicle I requested. It was smaller and therefore hard to fit everyone’s luggage in. It also had spots all over the seats.

Would NOT recommend. Even though they pretend to allow you to check in virtually, it’s a complete farce. The company forces you to wait in line to meet with an agent so that they can surreptitiously add charges.

The most bizarre and worrisome car rental experience. I would never rent here again and no idea how this business model works as I can't imagine anyone wanting to business there. Very unprofessional and they take so many pictures of the car before and after and try to sell you way overpriced insurance. A total scam! Make sure you have collision insurance personally to avoid this scam! Better yet, pay more for a real rental car company!

Horrible!!! I ended up playing 3 times more than i supposed to. Insurance paid thru Kayak was invalid, so instead of paying $296 + $80 CAD I ended up paying $596 US + $80 CAD. The car was the worst car I ever rented. 5 years old with almost 60k miles. With broken front bumper, missing dash went panels, broken front collision sensor, broken rear parking sensors, dings and scratches all over body. Gas tank supposed to be full, but it wasn’t. Pickup location requires two separate shuttles with 30 minutes wait time for each. Overall, I was scammed by Kayak, Economy car rental and Insurance provider.

I had called in a couple of times to clarify drop off and shuttle times and was told the location was closed until 5am. So I dropped my party off at the airport for 4:15am then went back to wait at the rental car location to return the vehicle. Because of timing I pre booked an Uber car to pick me up at 5:20 to hopefully get me back to the airport in time for my 7am flight. To my surprise the rental car location drop off was actually open despite what I was told on the phone. So I was able to return the car and get on a shuttle before 5am. So I ended up cancelling my Uber and paying a cancellation fee. The stress of trying to ensure vehicle return, getting to my flight and then wasting money to book an Uber because of bad information over the phone is annoying.

There were 2 other guests in front of me upon arrival so i expected a bit of a wait as there was only one person who was at the terminal to assist with the rentals. Once it was my turn i realized that the older woman who was helping guests was very slow and very rude. I would have waited for someone else had ANYONE else been available. The lady did not have the vehicle i requested so i had no choice but to take a smaller vehicle. I was not happy with that but she made it worse that she was unsympathetic and just rude overall. When i dropped off the vehicle, the woman that helped me was very nice and polite so not all employees are rude; just the older woman.

The staff at U-Save will treat you like you owe them child support. If you want a good price on a rental but to be treated badly at every step of the check in, car pick up, and drop off process - this place is for you. I felt like they were letting me borrow their own personal car and I was forcing them to walk home. Sorry but it’s the truth.

My plane was an hour late and U-Save was the only car place that closed at 8pm, which is kind of ridiculous for an LAX airport car rental service. None of my emails said anything about when it was closing or that I had a pick-up time that was close to closing. When I called, no one answered . Additionally, the refund/cancellation policy was two sentences long and basically said, "nope"

We got to the office to drop off the van we rented at 7:35am and the office was closed. We had to wait for the manager to get there. Who arrived at 7:45am, and the everything worked out fine and seamless, but we got a little nervous because no one informed us the wouldn't be working.

Car was good, very clean, running well. Office was quite hidden, uncomfortable and unfriendly. Parking for car return is very limited.

The rental location is terrible. It's a small office on a shady strip. The cars are on the roof of adjacent parking deck. The Guys who work there are really nice but the car was shady. It had no window fluid, it was a screech every time you turn. The back seat headrest didn't work. The list goes on... Just pay the extra money and go to a reputable place. This place is below low budget. Never again!

I liked and enjoyed the car. The pick up was the worse experience I’ve ever had renting a car. I was told I had to get collision and sign up, get a quote on the spot and pay for it to continue the rental process. Very strange that they don’t have that worked out already. The vehicles were in a shared parking lot. I wasn’t given the paper to hand off to the attendant to receive the vehicle so I had to go back and get it. They only have one shuttle bus so if you miss it you have to wait an hour for the next. It was AWEFUL. I willl never use this company again.

I feel scammed. There were no instructions about how to find the rental car facility, no phone number to call, and I could not even find the company on Apple Maps or google so I wasn't willing to uber to a random address that was shown on the reservation (as a woman traveling alone), especially since it was listed as having a shuttle service from the airport. No signs listing the company at the airport or remote rental lot, and no airport employee I asked had ever even heard of the company and therefore could not give me directions. I ended up renting a car through another company and never found the mythical mexrentacar. I would love for someone from Kayak to contact me for a refund on this.

The car return was weird and sketchy. A young man dressed in a black t shirt and black pants hopped out of a vehicle next to where you return the rentals and asked if we were returning the vehicle. A bit caught off guard I said yes. As he was tapping on his device I stood there contemplating if he worked for the car rental place or just a random guy. When he finally confirmed my name I released the keys to him. My suggestion would be to have uniforms that indicate they’d work for the car rental and not just some random individuals. Secondly allow the customers to do a final walk through without feeling pressured to do so incase they forgot something in the vehicle.

Easy access and streamlined pickup. It's a bit confusing around requirements. The blurb states photo ID driver's license but doesn't state that passports are mandatory in the main introduction. I had to return to pick up my passport. Other locals were having similar problems around proof of address when we arrived, so there is room for improvement. The other thing is they need to be clearer in what insurances were needed. I ticked the cover I thought was required but on arrival got told that I had to add a second insurance as it was compulsory in LA but this was not shown in the main application as compulsory.

Scam! Was turned away when showing up to pick up car due to “cancelled” reservation by MEX without any notification. They used this trick to force you rent their car at last minute at significantly higher price. On top of that, the rate they sell does not include any liability coverage or any coverage at all and forces you to pay ~$50-100/day for liability and additional $50-100/day for collision insurance which if you don’t pay for these, you will not get the rental car and have you stranded there without much choice. They don’t accept corporate or personal auto insurance for coverage. They may accept collision waiver from credit card coverage IF you can produce declaration from CC company but this typically needs to be arranged way ahead of time, no way you can obtain last minute. Even then, you will still need to pay the liability coverage which no CC will cover and they don’t allow using corporate/personal auto insurance. The service was unfriendly and hostile and their price gouging mindset is obvious. All other people arriving for pickup experience similar issues either with insurance coverage, cancelled reservation or huge amount of money/deposit hold requirement (minimum $1000-$2000 hold except if you buy all their insurance coverages, based on what I heard from other people’s interaction with MEX. I believe their policy is illegal and against US consumers protection policy. Will be submitting BBB complaint, FDC and other agencies.

If you are NOT American, do NOT use this booking company. They do not accept non American care insurance and will charge an additional 55 USD per day at the counter or refuse to rent to you, even if your car insurance covers rentals. Totally useless to me.

I’ve booked and paid for my ride plenty early to get the best deal. I was supposed to pick up the car at noon but decided to get the car after dinner. When I arrived, they have canceled my reservation that I have already paid for. Made me rebook the car through a third party for double the cost then proceeded to tell me the unlimited mileage is only good for people who arrived at the airport the same day. So I had to pay more for unlimited miles. Read the fine prints, friends. They will try to get you every way possible.

the company refused to actually give me the car I rented and made a security payment for. the reason was some obscure chargeback that was on my account but nobody could explain it to me and I was not aware of anything. left me stranded in th emiddle of nowhere with two suitcases to find another rental company. found one after a sweaty while and paid $ 200 more than I originally budgeted... very bad customer service!!

Rental car pick up and return was the worst part of our trip. Shuttle from lax to office involved a sketchy transfer in an empty parking lot. Took us nearly two hours from time of arriving to office until we drove away and there were only 6 people ahead of us in line. Office was uncomfortable and had technology that didn’t work (endlessly looping promo audio was super loud, QR code to fill out paperwork while waiting in line led to a broken link). Nothing about the office seemed above-board… all transactions and communication between the lot and the office was done via cell phone. For return, directions given did not match the reality (website said they opened at a different time, parking instructions were unclear). The return lot was extremely sketchy- run down, dirty, garbage everywhere including broken glass, dirty clothes abandoned by homeless folks in the stairwell, very little signage- to the point that I was worried I was returning my car to a scammer who would steal it. Receipts/documentation of return from the company was not provided. Shuttles to the airport run only once per hour and the neighborhood was not one I’d feel comfortable waiting 45 minutes outside with my child in. I will never use Kayak to choose an inexpensive rental car ever again.

The process of getting the car took a really long time with huge waits. The transports are only every hour to the airport so you have to really time things well. The insurance ended up costing more than the car. The car was well over its service time so it beeped at me every time I got it in and had a slow puncture so I had to keep topping it up. On drop off the email clearly states “drive to floor five then report to main office” meaning more waiting. When I got to the front they said I had done the wrong thing and should have handed the car over in the parking lot.. poor communication, hidden costs, long waits for service & transfers and a damaged vehicle. Would not recommend

The routes car rental company management is absolutely mess . We went there at 2.45 pm and didn’t get our car till 4pm and we were only customers they were dealing with . No pick or drop from airport as mentioned, we had to take Uber which costed us extra $25 . The car rental process is not streamlined and manager there when complained had no sympathy/empathy that why is taking so long . I would not recommend this place to anyone

Renting a car and driving in Los Angeles

Everything you need to know about renting a car in Los Angeles

To make the most of this sprawling urban metropolis, you need to get a rental car, so you can zip from the golden sand beaches of Santa Monica to the shopping haven of Rodeo Drive and up into the Hollywood Hills with ease.

Los Angeles can be a famously tricky city to navigate when you first arrive. Without a comprehensive public transport system, getting around its multiple neighborhoods and seeing its many sights can be a challenge, especially seeing as this isn’t a city that people walk around – which is why the best option here is to rent a car as soon as you arrive. Driving around the city will make you feel like a real Angeleno, though be warned you may well spend much of your time behind the wheel stuck in traffic – LA is famous for its traffic jams, particularly during the morning and evening rush hours. If you can avoid those times, you’ll be fine to go cruising along the endless boulevards or driving along the beachfront, admiring the sparkling Pacific Ocean. Read on for everything you need to know about renting a car in the City of Angels.

Mandatory paperwork for renting a car in Los Angeles

To rent a car in Los Angeles, you’ll need to make sure each driver has a valid driving license. Most rental companies are happy to accept international driving licenses as well as American ones, but it’s always worth double-checking the car rental terms as well. Each rental company has its own rules – some might not be willing to rent to drivers who haven’t held their driving license for 36 months or more, for example.

If you’re traveling from overseas, you will also need to show a valid passport as proof of ID. You’ll also need a credit card so you can pay for the deposit on the car. Don’t have a credit card? Many major car hire agencies will accept debit cards, but some won’t, so it’s best to check in advance. Most car rental companies in LA don’t rent to drivers who are under 21, and many in the city require drivers to be 25 or older – those that rent to younger drivers will often charge higher rates, sometimes known as ‘young driver fees’.

Types of cars available for rent in Los Angeles

For the full California road trip experience, go for a convertible so you can feel the wind in your hair and the sun on your face as you drive up the Pacific Coast Highway.

As a major city with multiple car rental companies, there are many different types of cars you can hire in Los Angeles. The type of car you choose depends on how far you’ll be traveling and how many of you there are. If you’re planning on taking day trips out of the city and spending a lot of time on the freeway, it might be worth investing in an SUV, for extra space and comfort on longer journeys. If you’re mainly planning on driving around the city, you could opt for a smaller car, especially as certain places feature designated parking spaces for compact cars.

Where to get a rental car at Los Angeles International Airport

If you’re flying into LAX, be aware that all of the car rental companies are off-site and can only be accessed via courtesy shuttles. These shuttles come frequently and are usually easy to find, though navigating your way through the busy airport can be a challenge. The same process can be repeated when you return the car, though make sure to leave plenty of time before your flight, as there can be long lines for drop off at the car rental companies.

Car hire road trips in Los Angeles

Due to its fairly limited public transit system, renting a car is a great way to get around LA and visit its neighboring cities. Some of the most popular shorter driving routes from the City of Angels include trips to San Diego (around a two-hour drive), Santa Barbara (around two hours), and Las Vegas (around four hours). Then there’s the famous California drive along the Pacific Coast Highway from Los Angeles to San Francisco, which takes around nine hours and includes many of the Golden State’s most famous sites, including Big Sur. It’s also possible to drive across the border into Mexico, with Tijuana just a two-hour drive away, but bear in mind you will need a valid passport to cross the border. You will also need to check with your rental company to determine if you are allowed to cross international borders.

Everything you need to know about car insurance in Los Angeles

You need to have car insurance to drive in Los Angeles, so make sure it’s included in your car rental agreement if you don’t have your own personal insurance. Every car rental agency will offer slightly different options when it comes to insurance, so make sure you read the policy thoroughly and get the right insurance to suit your needs. It could also be worth purchasing a Collision Damage Waiver or Loss Damage Waiver to make sure you’re protected if the car gets damaged.

Things to know when renting a car in Los Angeles

Though there are car hire companies dotted around the city, the largest concentration of them can be found at LAX, so it’s often the easiest option to pick up your hire car here before heading into the city (especially as this way you avoid having to pay the cab fare to get into LA). All the major car rental companies are here, so you have a wide variety of rental companies and cars to choose from. If you’re not arriving at LAX, there are still plenty of other places to hire cars in the city – ask about local options at your hotel, where they will be able to point you in the direction of the nearest car rental company.

What you need to know about driving in Los Angeles

Add a GPS to your rental car

It could also be worth making sure your rental car has a GPS to navigate your way around LA, as the city’s freeways can be particularly confusing for first-time visitors.

The City of Angels is infamous for its traffic, particularly during rush hour when the roads and freeways can get gridlocked. It’s best to avoid driving during this time if you can – on weekdays, rush hour usually runs between 6am-10am and 3.30pm-7pm. Fridays can also be particularly busy on the roads, with locals heading out of town for the weekend.

If you’re planning on using the freeways in LA, look out for the Carpool and High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes. These are lanes that can only be used if there are two or more people in the car and can be a great way to save vital time and avoid congested lanes when driving on the freeway.

Parking your rental car in Los Angeles

Before renting your car, it’s worth checking whether the hotel you’re staying in offers free parking.Motels and cheaper hotels often offer free parking, while more upmarket establishments tend to charge extra. Streets in all the commercial areas of Los Angeles are metered, and it’s usually easy enough to find a spot. Many of the residential streets near these areas require parking permits, so make sure you always check the signs for local parking information before leaving your car.

Fuel and gas stations in Los Angeles

Since most people drive in LA, there’s no shortage of gas stations in the city, and all the big-name gas brands are represented. Most gas stations are self-serve, where you pump your own gas, and you can usually pay at the pump.

There are around 4,500 public charging electric vehicle stations dotted around the city, making LA the most electric vehicle-friendly city in California. Of these, only around 550 are free charging stations. Motorists can expect to pay around 30 cents per kilowatt hour for level two charging and around 40 cents per kilowatt hour for direct current charging.
