When choosing a car hire in Newport Beach, opting for a versatile SUV or a convertible can enhance your driving experience in this vibrant coastal city. An SUV provides ample space for families or larger groups, making it ideal for beach trips or exploring nearby attractions like Crystal Cove State Park. On the other hand, a convertible is perfect for enjoying the beautiful California weather and cruising along scenic routes such as the Pacific Coast Highway. Both car types offer comfort, style, and adaptability to cater to different types of travellers visiting Newport Beach.
The speed limits in Newport Beach generally adhere to the standard California regulations. Within the city, the typical speed limit on residential streets is 25 mph to prioritise safety in residential areas. However, on major roads and highways, such as Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), the speed limit is usually 55 mph unless otherwise posted. Be vigilant and mindful of any speed limit signs, especially near schools, parks, or construction zones, where lower speed limits may be in effect. Speed cameras might also be present in certain areas to enforce speed limits and maintain road safety.
Parking in Newport Beach can vary depending on the area and time of day. In certain parts of the city, you may need to plan for paid parking. Downtown Newport Beach offers parking structures and metered street parking, where rates typically range from $1.50 to $2 per hour (£1.10 to £1.50). Additionally, some popular beach areas may have pay-and-display lots available, with prices averaging around $15 to $20 per day (£11 to £15). If you're looking to save on parking costs, consider utilising free parking areas a bit further from the city centre.

Apr 2021
Cons:
Pickup was very cumbersome. Why do I have to re-give all the same address/phone number/credit card details over the counter that I gave when I made the reservation? The system should have all my details. Just give me the keys. It shouldn't take 15 minutes of back and forth to check each person in. The line to wait at the counter was longer than the flight to Orange County was!4,0 Mediocre

The quality of the vehicle. Given a vehicle with a big dent in the door. Purchased the package that I could choose my own vehicle only to find out I needed to pay an upgrade for a mustang if I wanted. I will not use the choose your vehicle option because I did not get to choose .6,0 Okay

The staff was very friendly at the Orange County airport. The pick-up was super easy and fast with no wait time. I did get there early and they were able to adjust my pick-up time accordingly.Cons:
I noticed all the employees were Spanish and weren't fluent in English. The staff member that was helping me out had a little trouble understanding my English but I didn't think it was a problem.3 locations in Newport Beach

I called U-save the day after I made the reservation to confirm it was unlimited miles. It wasn't. I wanted to cancel the reservation and I have contacted.Kayak, u-Save, and CarRentals.com to help cancel the reseravtion. The reservation STILL HAS NOT BEEN CANCELED. It's been over 2 weeks. No one can seem to help me. I was promised a 50% refund for the cancelation and I have received no refund whatsoever. I am still trying to chase down the cancellation and this was a horrible experience.9,2 Wonderful
