Important information about Irvine car rentals

Car rentals in Irvine provide a great way for tourists to go around and visit some of the scenic places all around the city. A car rental will help you to fulfil all the activities that feature on your itinerary and there’s even a chance that you will have more time to try out some other things that you hadn’t planned for, from the Crystal Cove State Park to the Corona Del Mar State Beach Park and Balboa Pier. All these places can be reached via road so you stand to benefit a lot by getting a rental car. There are about 20 car rental locations in Irvine so finding cheap car rentals in Irvine should be easy enough. If it is parking availability that is making you hesitant to get a rental car, you might be happy to hear that there are plenty of street parking spaces all though a majority of them are usually metered. However, the rates are fairly affordable.

With an average walkability score, Irvine is as walkable as some other cities but there are areas where you can easily get to by walking. This is the reason why getting car rentals in Irvine would be worthwhile because you will be able to get to those areas that are a little too far to walk. Such places include the likes of Irvine Regional Park and Pretend City Children’s Museum. You can also drive to neighboring cities such as Los Angeles which is just under an hour’s drive from Irvine via the I-5. You are advised to watch out for traffic especially during the rush hours of morning and early evening to avoid delays. In addition, to convenience and flexibility, rental cars in Irvine are available and range from passenger van rentals, electric car rentals and even luxury car rentals so you can have the pick of the bunch.

For you to be able to safely cruise through the streets of Irvine with your Irvine car rentals, it would be best if you got familiar with the unique driving laws that apply to the city in order to avoid any trouble with the authorities. For example, you shouldn’t be driving under the influence of marijuana otherwise you could be slapped with a huge fine. Additionally, you can’t be driving with a blood alcohol content higher than 0.08% as it is dangerous for both you and other users of the road and will land you into all sorts of trouble with the police. In case of any doubts, you can check with the California state DMV for the latest changes in traffic laws.

To get car rentals in Irvine, all you will need to provide is a valid driver’s license issued by any state DMV in the United States or Canada. For tourists coming from other countries, the requirements vary. If your driver’s license is written in the Roman alphabet, then that will be enough alongside a valid passport and visa. If it is not written the Roman alphabet, then you will need an international driver’s permit alongside the driver’s license as well as a valid passport and visa.
