A vibrant hub for Hollywood glamour, coastal beauty, and rich culture, Los Angeles is a sprawling buzzing metropolis with an array of exciting districts and attractions to discover. From the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame and star-studded red carpets to the upscale boutiques of plush Beverly Hills too the natural beauty of nearby national parks, LA offers a little bit of everything. As soon as you step off the plane at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), you're in the heart of one of the world’s most exciting cities. Star-spotting is a common pastime at LAX, where you might catch a glimpse of celebrities and A-listers being greeted by flashing paparazzi cameras. If you’re lucky, you may spot a Hollywood star at one of the airport's private terminals! And with your hire car, you can follow in their footsteps and drive through the Hollywood Hills, or visit Malibu and other star-studded beach towns along the Pacific Coast Highway. Whether you’re here to stroll down Rodeo Drive, explore Venice Beach, or head out to the surrounding national parks, a hire car is the perfect way to navigate both LA’s urban streets and the scenic roads beyond. With your own car you have the freedom to explore the city's diverse neighbourhoods at your own pace, and venture out on thrilling road trips to nearby natural wonders like Joshua Tree National Park, Sequoia National Park, and Yosemite. At Los Angeles International Airport, you’ll find plenty of car hire options conveniently located within or just outside the airport. Choosing the right vehicle depends on your itinerary. For cruising around LA’s famous neighbourhoods, a compact car is ideal for navigating the busy streets and finding parking. But if you plan to explore the surrounding national parks, consider upgrading to a mid-size SUV or a 4x4 for a more comfortable experience on long drives. While Los Angeles has plenty to keep you entertained, the region’s natural beauty is just a drive away. Joshua Tree National Park, famous for its striking desert landscapes and iconic rock formations, is just 4 hours away. Sequoia National Park, home to towering ancient trees, is around 6.5 hours from the city. And for those willing to take a longer journey, Yosemite National Park—an awe-inspiring destination with waterfalls, giant sequoias, and granite cliffs—is about 9.5 hours north. With a hire car, the opportunities for adventure are endless. These parks are accessible by well-maintained highways, making them ideal destinations for day trips or extended outdoor getaways from LA.
