KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Laguna Niguel

  • During your visit to Laguna Niguel, it is worth considering hiring a car. Using a Laguna Niguel car hire provides you with flexibility and convenience, allowing you to explore the city and its surroundings at your own pace. Public transportation options in Laguna Niguel might be limited, so having a car gives you more freedom to fully experience this city's numerous cultural attractions and art galleries. Additionally, with a car, you can easily access nearby destinations like Dana Point Harbor or Laguna Beach, which are popular tourist spots. Renting a car is especially beneficial if you want to venture beyond the city to explore Southern California. Facilitating car hire in Laguna Niguel often comes with amenities like GPS navigation and roadside assistance for added convenience and peace of mind.
  • When booking a flight to Laguna Niguel, you can choose Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) as your destination airport. The airport is 59 miles (around 151 km) from Laguna Niguel. There are various car hire providers, typically located off-site at the terminal, but accessible via airport shuttles. But if you land at John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Santa Ana, you'll find that rental car offices are conveniently located on-site at the Ground Transportation Centre. It's advisable to book your car hire in Laguna Niguel in advance to ensure availability and secure a better rate. When picking up your hire car, have your driving licence, credit card, and reservation information ready for a smoother process.

It's important to adhere to the speed limits and follow all traffic rules to ensure your safety and avoid penalties.

Rush hour traffic can be heavy, especially during weekday mornings (5:30 to 9:30) and evenings (16:00 to 19:00), particularly on major highways like Interstate 5(I-5). Plan accordingly and allow extra time for your journeys. Additionally, during winter (from December through March), nearby mountain areas like the San Bernardino Mountains may experience snow or icy conditions. If you plan to visit these areas, check weather forecasts and road conditions beforehand to ensure safe driving. It's always recommended to stay informed and adjust your driving plans accordingly to navigate any difficulties that may arise.

They had no cars available when I arrived, they wouldn't call any other branch to see what was available. Your app would not allowed to cancel the reservation so I couldn't look for another rental company. I had to call around and end up paying double of what I wanted. Horrible experience!

Pros:

Drop-off was easy and super low-key. No hassle pick-up. Car was in good condition. Reasonable price.

Cons:

Drop-off was intended for Labor Day (Sept 2) but the location (and every other location) was closed. I wasn't aware that I'd be unable to return the vehicle, and have yet to find out if Budget is going to charge us for the extra day despite no heads-up and no alternative drop-off options.

Cons:

I called Friday afternoon and reserved a mini van for a 24 hour rental and scheduled a noon pick up on Saturday. I received a call at 10 am on Saturday morning from Budget saying they did not have my vehicle. I called customer service, and they found a rental 1/2 hour away in the opposite direction. After negotiating with C.R., they agreed to give me the van for the same price. But, it was too late to find a ride to pick it up. I was very upset.

Cons:

Reserved a car but was notified the day of my rental that there were no cars available. A rep apparently called to let me know AFTER my reservation time had passed but didn't leave a message. Fortunately, I called to make sure my car would be ready, at which point the rep just told me that they didn't have any cars and to call about store and provided no additional assistance. I spent an hour on the phone ensuring that the guaranteed price would be honored at another location and had to speak to 3 different customer service reps (some of whom were rude) and had to cover the cost of travel to another rental location at the last minute.

Agent could resolve my reservation amount vs billed amount. I believe AVIS has always handled this if there's a problem.

Pros:

The staff was fantastic both at the beginning and at the end of the rental. My husband left his sunglasses in the car and they called within 30 minutes of drop off to tell us. They are fantastic - will definitely rent from them again.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing. They did an above and beyond service. Cheerful, helpful, didn't pressure us for an upgrade but let us make the decision. Very professional and I couldn't be more pleased with the rental experience.

I had reserved a car at the hotel for the next day. When I went to pickup the car they told me they did not have one because they were sold out. ("busy week") They would not provide me any alternatives. I requested that they taxi or Uber me to the next location and they said they could not do that. Horrible customer service. 2 employees at location but neither could do anything to me. Worst case I would have thought they would provide transportation to another location or drive me. But I received nothing and they really did not even apologize for not having the car available. I will not be renting from Hertz anymore. It was just the only option at this location.
