Los Angeles Airport car hire is a convenient option to consider due to the vast urban sprawl that surrounds the region, often best explored by car. This way, you can easily navigate your way around famous tourist sites such as Hollywood, the theme parks, and the Venice Beach Promenade and Santa Monica Boulevard. You can also cover more ground by car and venture further afield along the extensive coastline or travel inland to explore the hiking opportunities, the famous Death Valley National Park, or the orange groves of Orange County.
Hiring a car at Los Angeles Airport will connect you directly to the major interstates and freeways that surround the airport. Located around 16 miles from central Los Angeles in the south-western district of Westchester, you can access Interstate 405 as you exit the airport. Alternatively, you can use State Route 1 or the Interstate 105.
Most car hire companies at Los Angeles Airport are open 24h per day, enabling you easy access to their facilities, regardless of your arrival time. You can find an Interactive Visitor’s Information Centre in the lower level of the Arrivals Halls, near to the Baggage Reclaim islands, where you can access local information, navigation routes, and courtesy phones for your convenience. There is also a unique therapy dogs programme to help you de-stress and prepare for your onward journey.
On your return to Los Angeles Airport car hire parking lots, follow the signs for "Rental Car Returns". If you are travelling in via the 405 Interstate, take the Century Boulevard exit off the freeway. Remember to check with your rental company if there are any special requirements for dropping off your vehicle. Many companies offer an after-hours service, which will allow you to drop off completed contracts and car keys in designated drop-boxes, which are located in the Returns area. You can then proceed to your shuttle to your required terminal. Bear in mind, the busiest times at Los Angeles Airport are generally between 11:00-15:00 and 18:00-23:00, so make sure to give yourself ample time to arrange your return and if at all possible, try to take advantage of the mid-afternoon lull before the evening rush.

Pick-up took longer than expected, but otherwise, was a good experience. Drop-off was quicker than expected. Car worked well (screen went pixelated a couple of times, but then returned to normal). Nice vehicle to drive.

The staff was excellent at getting us on the road in minutes, The process was very quick. My only complaint would be that the cost was slightly higher than some of the competition, But I was specific in wanting a convertible Jeep and was willing to pay the price. I would rent from them again. The drop off process was the same, And was completed within a minute or two.

Thank you Enterprise - I had to cancel once my sister’s town was evacuated from being threatened by the 52,000 acre Bridge Fire. The cancellation was easy and at the prices the car rental went up to - I believe that Enterprise did well on that deal.

Everything went well. My only complaint is the deposit amount that has to one credit card. They are always changing amount, it was 300$ now it's $400. It's difficult to budget since you're never the amount ahead of time. No where on website either. All in all good value. Our check out person(LAX) Hunter was very nice. And our Return person (SBP) was efficient and very nice. Didn't get name. thanks

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 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 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!

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.
