KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Manhattan Beach

  • When you rent cheap car rentals in Manhattan Beach, you will have the flexibility to create your own schedule and visit various destinations at your convenience. You can easily explore the city's famous beaches, including Manhattan Beach and El Porto Beach, without having to worry about public transportation schedules. Manhattan Beach is also located close to several tourist attractions, such as the Getty Center, Universal Studios, and Hollywood. These places are not easy to access via public transportation, but using Manhattan Beach car rentals can make the trip more comfortable and enjoyable.
  • Los Angeles Airport (LAX), is located approximately 6 miles from Manhattan Beach. Rental car offices at LAX are located off-site, and visitors can get to them by taking a shuttle from the terminal. The shuttle for the rental car center is located outside of baggage claim on the lower level of the terminal. The shuttle takes about 5-10 minutes to reach the car rental center. Santa Ana J. Wayne/Orange County Airport (SNA) is located approximately 40 miles southeast of Manhattan Beach. You can pick up Manhattan Beach car rentals from the rental car offices located off-site, and visitors can get to them by taking a complimentary shuttle from the terminal.
  • When driving cheap car rentals in Manhattan Beach, be sure to watch out for red curbs, which indicate no parking zones. Cyclists often share the road with cars, so give them enough space and be cautious when making turns. The speed limit is strictly enforced, so be mindful of your speed in your Manhattan Beach car rental. Additionally, pedestrians have the right of way at crosswalks, so always yield to them if they’re crossing the street. Lastly, there are many one-way streets in the area, so take note of signs and check your GPS before embarking on a journey to avoid getting lost.
  • Driving cheap car rentals in Manhattan Beach can be difficult during rush hour, especially on major roads like Pacific Coast Highway and Artesia Boulevard. Rush hour usually occurs during weekday mornings 7:00 am to 9:00 am and afternoons from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm. Additionally, the summer months can be difficult due to the influx of tourists. However, the city rarely experiences winter snow or rain, so driving a Manhattan Beach car rental is usually not affected by weather conditions.

Pros:

Nothing - terrible experience. I hope Enterprise goes bankrupt with Hertz. They deserve it.

Cons:

I reserved a car, they didn't have it. I was told a car "might" be available later that afternoon and I should just wait to hear from them. I never heard back. I called later and they said the car was waiting for me to pick up and I would be charged regardless. Terrible, awful service. Whats the point of a reservation if they don't hold the car? Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode of the same occurrence. Lets hope rental companies all go bankrupt and a smart, lean tech company takes over like Uber / Lyft has done to the cab industry. These horrible companies deserve it.

Pros:

The gentleman who helped check me in was professional and wanted to help me but still strong armed me into renting the car for 5 days even though I only needed it for 3 and there’s a drop box for this purpose. Furthermore, the car renter to me was old, dusty, and in need of service. Not at all what I was hoping for when renting a car on vacation for $300. Clinton at the Studio City location was very helpful and made the situation better and followed up with me fairly.

Cons:

A reservation line that answers phones after hours, clearer policies when booking as well as hours of operation at various locations, better vehicles available, better customer service...
