Car rentals in Lake Elsinore also give you the freedom to drive east to Joshua Tree National Park, northeast to Las Vegas, or south to San Diego.
- Located about 90 miles northwest of Lake Elsinore, the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) makes a convenient place for securing a rental car when you fly in to visit Lake Elsinore. In order to easily access the off-site car rental agencies, deplaning passengers should go to the arrivals curb and wait under the purple sign for Rental Car Shuttles, located on the traffic island. If you need a GPS or a child safety seat along with your rental car, it is advisable to mention this when you make your reservation to help make sure that what you need is available when you arrive at your LAX car rental location.
- The streets of Lake Elsinore are wide and well maintained. You can depend on congested traffic every weekday from about 6:30 am to 10 am and 3:30 pm to 7 pm.

Lake Elsinore is populated by many families, so drive with caution, on the lookout for children darting into the road, around schools, parks, and family restaurant parking lots.
- One of the biggest challenges those driving car rentals in Lake Elsinore will face Is the hectic way people tend to drive on the massive Southern California freeways, often four or five lanes wide on either side.

Drive with caution, and if you're driving more slowly than most traffic, stay in the right-hand lanes. You can use your navigation device to find a route to your destination that does not include freeways If you feel uncomfortable driving on them.

Pros:
The vehicle was nice. Not the expected rental but it fit everything we had to make it back to Texas with.Cons:
The service picking up the vehicle could have been a lot better. Only one person working because everyone else was at lunch or “called in”. A warning before renting needs to be advertised about a major credit card is needed to rent anything over a full-size vehicle and that they do a soft credit check, needing at least a 650 to rent the vehicle. This wasn’t known until we got there. Thankfully things worked out but we had to downsize the vehicle because I don’t carry a credit card. Returning the vehicle was easy and great. It was just picking the vehicle up that made this experience so bad.4,4 Mediocre

Cons:
After calling to make arrangements to change my drop off location and being told there would be no fees, no extra charges, I proceed with my day and feel relieved. I get there, the paperwork is processed, I hand her the keys and she gives me a receipt. As I walk out the door, I read the receipt. My one day rental, originally prices at $83 is now over $500. What!?! I return to the counter and ask what the heck is going on. Because of the change in drop off location, my daily rate was bumped to $120, there was a $300 fee and a bunch of other miscellaneous charges. I tell her this is not acceptable. I called and you told me, there would be no fees. If this is what it was going to cost, I wanted the car back and figure out another strategy. Stone-cold sober, the girl says "you can't, the car has been returned." I'm disgusted and will be calling corporate to try and gain some reprieve. How is it okay to lie to my face, question them, and then have the door proverbially slammed in your face.10,0 Wonderful
