Unlock the real Southern California

Los Angeles International Airport is the perfect starting point for your Californian adventure. While the city itself is packed with attractions, a rental car allows you to escape the traffic and explore the wider region. Drive just a short distance north to the coastal havens of Santa Monica and Malibu to enjoy the iconic Pacific Coast Highway. If you prefer a more historic and upscale retreat, head further north to Santa Barbara. Here, you can experience Spanish colonial architecture and excellent local dining. For a complete change of scenery, drive east to Joshua Tree National Park to discover an unforgettable desert landscape.

Essential Driving Tips for Los Angeles

Southern California's highway system is extensive and fast-paced. When navigating the freeways, keep an eye out for "HOV" (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes, typically marked with a diamond symbol. These are reserved for vehicles carrying two or more people, and using them as a solo driver can result in a fine.
Our Advice: Plan your longer drives outside of the traditional morning and evening rush hours to avoid the worst of the city's heavy traffic.

Our Fleet at Los Angeles Airport

At Zest Car Rental, we offer a wide range of vehicles at Los Angeles Airport to suit every type of traveller. From economical city cars perfect for couples navigating the local area, to spacious SUVs and people carriers that provide maximum comfort and luggage space for longer coastal road trips, we have the ideal car for your journey.

One Way Rentals from Los Angeles Airport

You can pick up your car at Los Angeles Airport and drop it off at a different location, such as San Francisco or San Diego. One-way rentals are perfect for driving the Pacific Coast Highway without having to backtrack.

Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.
