Search car rental at Los Angeles Intl Airport

A car rental from LAX, Los Angeles’ major international airport, can take you many places. The city itself is huge, sprawling, sunny and exciting. A car is the best way to get around, as the public transport coverage outside the downtown area is spotty, and in this city, the suburbs are just as interesting as the CBD. Hollywood is the centre of the film industry, Anaheim is famously the home of Disneyland, Calabasas is the land of multi-million dollar mansions and the numerous beach neighbourhoods offer fun in the sun.

Outside of Los Angeles, the road trip opportunities are many. From a scenic coastal drive through the Big Sur to an arid desert adventure, you will find something to suit your sensibilities. Pick up your LAX rental car and be on your way.

The many companies offering car rental at LAX

Operating in and around the airport are a range of rental car suppliers. With big names like Europcar, Budget, Hertz, Avis and Thrifty, you will be in good hands. However, the many options can make it difficult to search out the perfect vehicle at the right price for your own LAX car rental holiday.

Our site helps you to narrow down the options without spending hours scouring the internet. Simply enter the relevant details such as the location, dates, times and driver’s age, and you will get a list of vehicles fitting the specifications from our wide network of rental suppliers. You can then filter the results to see only vehicles of a certain class, from a specific company, with a particular transmission type or carrying x number of passengers.

Displayed right on the results page is everything you need to make an informed decision on your car hire from LAX. You can see the highlights of the rental agreement, reviews, the class of vehicle (from compact to luxury and SUVs), the pick-up method and the price details without having to click through. This makes it easy to compare the many choices. In addition, features of the vehicle are represented by symbols so that you can see at a glance whether they are manual or automatic, if they have air conditioning, the luggage space available and more.

Los Angeles International Airport

LAX is big and busy, and works a little differently to other airports in terms of rental car pickups. All depots are located off the airport. Some companies offer shuttles right to and from the airline terminals- these include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, Thrifty and a few more. Many of these provide free phone links near the baggage claim areas of each terminal.

Some other companies offer pickups from the Off-Airport Rental Car Center, reached from the airline terminals by the “Lot C” bus. Check your confirmation email for further details of how to pick up your LAX car rental. 

Get Driving: Where to take your LAX rental car

Hit the road for an adventure when you drive away from the airport in Los Angeles. First on the list is to explore is the sprawling city. We recommend adding a GPS to your LAX car rental so you can find your way in this sunny metropolis.

Once you head out of L.A, southern California is your oyster. Here are some suggestions for directions you could take:

• Stick to the coast and head north to San Francisco via Malibu, Santa Barbara and the Big Sur. This is a beautiful and scenic coastal drive with highlights both natural and cultural.

• Beyond San Francisco lies the wine region surrounding Napa and Sonoma. An amazing spot for a vacation- just make sure you have a designated driver.

• A short drive south will get you to San Diego, a beach city just on the Mexican-American border. It has a slower pace than frenetic L.A, great for a chilled out city break.

• Las Vegas is only half a day’s drive from Los Angeles. An oasis of urban entertainment in the desert, this unique and unforgettable city makes an excellent destination for a road trip.

Wherever the road takes you, an LAX car rental is a fantastic place to start. Book now and be on your way today.
