Rent an electric car because gas is extremely expensive, and a comfortable one because you will sit in traffic frequently.

Very easy process and easy.

Nice small airport with rental cars on site

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Long Beach

  • Ditch the unreliable public transportation and hop on a hire car, which is most comfortable and efficient way to explore not only Long Beach, but also neighboring Los Angeles and other destinations along the Californian coast. Head to El Dorado Nature Reserve for a picnic date, or drive through beautiful Naples Island in Alamitos Bay. The iconic Hollywood Sign is 30 miles away from Long Beach, and San Diego is a 2-hour ride away.
  • The two closest international airports from Long Beach are Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and John Wayne International Airport (SNA). hire car offices at LAX are off site, but you can take the free shuttle buses stopping under the "hire Car Shuttles" sign outside the Arrivals Level islands. Car hire services at SNA are situated on the Arrivals hall, between Terminals A and B, across from the John Wayne statue. The domestic Long Beach Airport (LGB) is closer but much smaller. Car hire desks can be found inside the Airport Ground Transportation Center, which is on the opposite side the terminal building.
  • The city of Long Beach is quite straightforward to navigate -- just watch out for reckless tourists during the summer months when the city center is more crowded. The stretch from Belmont Shore beach to downtown Long Beach has a sidewalk designed for cyclists, rollerbladers, and walkers, so be extra careful when driving there. Many LA freeways have one or more "carpool lanes" at the far left for vehicles carrying at least two occupants.
  • Traffic jams in the Los Angeles area are a given, but there are ways around them. Avoid driving from Long Beach to LA, particularly toward Hollywood, between 6:30 a.m. and 10 a.m., and then back to Long Beach between 3 p.m. until about 6:30 p.m. as those are the main rush hours. The San Diego Freeway (I-405) runs toward LA and Long Beach Airport, but you can take Crenshaw Blvd to help bypass the downtown gridlock during peak hour.
  • Book your rental car in Long Beach at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Long Beach are around 49% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Long Beach

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Long Beach?

    A hybrid car is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint when driving around the area, and a convertible makes for a fun option when cruising along the coast, especially in the summer. If you're traveling with family or friends, a minivan offers more comfort and space for everyone.

  • Where are the best places to park in Long Beach?

    Street parking meters offer the first five minutes for free, and then they're usually limited to a maximum of two hours. Some parking meters are paid from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, while others are free after 6 p.m., Monday to Saturday.

You rented me a truck they did not have. I needed a truck bed to move a couch. I has to scramble and waste time to get a replacement. I spent more time and money, all because I relied on your reservation. Had I not, I could have easily gotten another truck.

Pros:

The car was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The service could not have been worse. We waited over an hour before we had someone finally pick up the phone and send an airport van. On our return flight, we turned our car in at the appointed 4:00 time to find a note on the desk that said “please place the keys in the Dropbox. We had expected to get a ride to the airport, but that was not to be. We walked 20 minutes or so to the airport and barely made our flight. The communication with your renters needs some work.
