# Car rental in Los Angeles

A car is essential in LA — compare LAX and citywide pickups.

Los Angeles is built for driving, so a rental is close to a must. Compare deals at LAX and neighborhood locations from Santa Monica to Hollywood, and book early for convertibles and SUVs, which sell out fastest in peak season.

## Why rent here

- LAX and citywide pickup options
- Convertibles and SUVs in high demand — reserve ahead
- Ideal for Pacific Coast Highway and desert road trips
- Free cancellation on most bookings

## Local tips

### Watch the LAX facility fees

Airport rentals carry concession and facility fees. Off-airport pickups sometimes net out cheaper even after a rideshare to reach them.
