KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in San Gabriel

  • Having car rentals in San Gabriel means you don't have to wait for ride-share services or rely on public transportation. San Gabriel is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes and scenic spots such as the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens; the San Gabriel Mission; Santa Anita Park; and Eaton Canyon Falls, and a San Gabriel rental car lets you easily explore these destinations. With a car rental in San Gabriel, you can create a personalized itinerary and explore attractions that are of specific interest to you, giving you a more customized travel experience.
  • San Gabriel car rentals are available at two airports in the Los Angeles area. Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) offers rental car services in the Consolidated Rental Car Facilities of the Regional Intermodal Transportation Center. Additionally, you can rent cars at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), where rental car offices are situated off the airport grounds, separate from the terminals. Rental companies meet arriving renters under the purple signs for rental shuttles on the Lower Level islands outside baggage claim.
  • California has strict seat belt laws, and all occupants in car rentals in San Gabriel must wear their seat belts at all times. It is illegal to use a handheld cell phone while driving in California. Visitors should use hands-free devices, pull over to a safe location to make calls, or use navigation apps. California has carpool lanes (High Occupancy Vehicle or HOV lanes) on many highways. These lanes are designated for vehicles with two or more occupants or eligible clean-air cars.
  • On weekdays, between 7:00 am and 9:00 am, and sometimes even beyond, traffic can be heavier as commuters travel to work or school, leading to congestion on main roads such as San Gabriel Boulevard, Las Tunas Drive, Valley Boulevard, and Del Mar Avenue. You will also find this is an issue on weekday evenings, typically between 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm. You can also find heavier traffic during events here, such as when there are events at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse Events and during the San Gabriel Chalk Art Festival in the summer.
  • Book your car hire in San Gabriel at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in San Gabriel are around 143% more expensive than other car types, on average

Mr., Mar 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff was friendly and quick to assist.

Cons:

The car was not cleaned or washed yet when I picked it. We waited for the car to be cleaned and washed. The wait was okay, but the cleaning process was rushed and not very thorough. Car windows still had water. I could still see some dirty marks on the exterior.

Pros:

It was okay

Cons:

They need actual wash the cars right & not just rinse them down fast, no vacuuming in the inside. I found trash that was left behind from the people who rented it before I did & oil life was low didn’t even bother checking it.

This AVIS location is a joke. I had an 8AM appointment because I was leaving on vacation early and there was nobody in the office when I arrived! I waited 15 minutes and nobody showed up! I had to book a last minute rental through Hertz because this independently owned AVIS location is a joke. Good luck if you end up being sent here by Kayak.
