Traffic Information

When you arrive at Los Angeles International Airport take the shuttle bus that stops at terminals one to seven to the car rental area. The A405 links the airport to the city just a few minutes drive away. We also have a desk at the Renaissance Airport Hotel. Our Beverly Hills office is on La Cienega Boulevard near Culver City while the Venice Beach branch is near Pacific Avenue and the Marina del Rey. There are two Santa Monica offices, one in the lobby of the Shore Hotel near the Pier Aquarium and one on Santa Monica Boulevard.

Los Angeles is a large and busy city intersected by numerous freeways. Individual districts have roads laid out in numbered grid plans and in peak hours and at weekends journeys are often faster if these roads are used rather than the freeways. A Sat Nav is almost essential for navigating Los Angeles without getting lost.

Parking is Los Angeles varies from free street zones and expensive hourly meters to underground or multistorey parks with reasonable daily rates. Be careful not to park in a residential permit zone.

Like many large American cities, public transport in Los Angeles is limited meaning just about everybody drives so start your visit with a cruise around the city in your rental vehicle. This is the ideal way to get an overview of Los Angeles and its eight main districts. The city's historical heart is Olvera Street where the first Spanish-Mexican village was built in the late 18th-century. Here you can visit the oldest building in Los Angeles as well as enjoy traditional Mexican food. Close to Olvera Street is the 19th and early 20th-century area of downtown Los Angeles. The impressive City Hall, brick-built homes and old movie palaces can all be seen here. Further North in the city is the Heritage Square Museum which documents the development of Southern California. Film buffs can take guided tours of the city's Hollywood past, taking in film locations and studios including Universal City. The city also abounds in museums and art galleries catering to every interest.

Experience Los Angeles Prehistoric Past

One museum with a difference is the La Brea Tar Pits just off Miracle Mile. This is unique for being the only urban, active Ice Age excavation site in the world. Tar has seeped through the ground, rising to the surface over tens of thousands of years while trapping and preserving the remains of plants and animals. Many of the fossils recovered are on display in the Page Museum where you can see the remains of mammoths, wolves and sabre-toothed cats. A fascinating part of the tour is walking along the edge of the pits where tar is still bubbling up exposing new fossils every day.

Sightseeing Destinations

No trip to Los Angeles would be complete without heading to Anaheim. Here you will find Disneyland and the Disney California Adventure Park. You need at least a couple of days to take in all of the adventures and thrilling rides at these huge theme parks.

The huge Los Angeles Convention Centre hosts almost one event a day ranging from conferences and trade shows to exhibitions and live performances.

I recently rented a car and had an excellent experience! Stephan was incredibly helpful and made the booking process straightforward. The vehicle was in great condition, clean, and exactly what I needed for my trip. The entire process, from pickup to drop-off, was smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend Stephan for anyone looking for a reliable and affordable car rental service. Thank you for making my journey so convenient!

Excellent and efficient in the customer service dept. Evan was relatable, professional and took care of my needs quickly and efficiently. I had a 7 day rental out of the Sixt LAX location and drove it to my destination. The next day my wife and I agreed the car was too small to suite our needs (with a baby, luggage, in laws etc.). We quickly made some phone calls back to the LAX location and they had mentioned to try the Studio City location due it being closest to our stay. The nice girl on the phone, Kimmy had mentioned that it's a smaller location so inventory might be short, but to give it a shot. We took the chance and showed up with no forewarning. I was immediately greeted by a pretty lady (about 60) I only know this because she mentioned it. I didn't get her name but she was dealing with a difficult customer and yet still greeted me with a smile. BTW- she handled this very difficult customer with class, as I witnessed the entire transaction. She has more patience than I do and I too am in the customer service business. In fact I own 2 customer service businesses. She had passed me onto Evan, who again with much class held a nice conversation while making the amendment to my booking. He calmly but quickly found a car that fit my criteria. Evan had mentioned that it just needed to be fueled and cleaned and it's all mine. Mind you, I have a wife, 1 year old and mother in-law sitting in the other car in the parking lot. He quickly gave the keys to the detailer (who also did a great job), meanwhile staying in direct communication. A short while later, I received the car and off I went. Everything you can ask for with a car rental company. These 3 people were text book service. I commend you all, and I again thank you all.
