Important information about Long Beach car rentals

There are more than five rental car locations in Long Beach and the nearby area, which present you with a range of opportunities for obtaining a vehicle at any stage of your visit. That said, you’ll likely want to secure one for the duration of the trip, since Long Beach car rentals are the best way to get access to everything the city has to offer, including Knott’s Berry Farm, a traditional style theme park, and the Aquarium of the Pacific, which sits right on the waterfront. When you’re parking, pay special attention to the signage around your parking spot, since some spaces may look free, but there is actually a fee. Parking tickets can be quite pricey, potentially turning a cheap car rental in Long Beach into an expensive choice if you’re not careful. However, when you’re ready to get on the road and explore some of the sites in Long Beach’s orbit, major nearby roadways like Interstates 605, 405 and 710 provide drivers with quick passage.

Is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Long Beach?

With temperate weather and designated spaces for pedestrians, Long Beach is a very walkable city, especially the downtown area and along the waterfront. And with a wealth of parking locations scattered throughout the city, you can toggle between driving and walking, easily accommodating whatever your itinerary may be. When you’re ready to set off on a trip outside city limits, hop on one of the major highways that cut through the city. You’ll find that these routes give you easy access to places like Los Angeles, Temecula, San Bernardino and Santa Barbara, all of which are within a two hour’s drive of Long Beach. If you’re planning a day or weekend trip to any of these cities, you may want to schedule your departure for either very early or very late in the day, since Long Beach and the surrounding area is known for having some of the most congested highways in the country.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind while driving in Long Beach?

Travelers who are researching Long Beach car rentals will also want to look into the traffic laws for the area. Like the rest of the United States, California has strict drinking and driving laws. Individuals who have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08% or higher are prohibited from operating a car rental in Long Beach; penalties for breaking this law are high. Additionally, all passengers riding in a vehicle, be it an economy car rental or a passenger van rental—including the driver—must wear a properly fastened seatbelt. If you have any questions about the proper fasteners for children or any of the traffic laws, it’s best to check the city’s department of motor vehicles for recent law changes.

Will I need a special driver’s license or permit to drive a rental car in Long Beach if I’m visiting from another country?

Individuals who have selected a rental car in Long Beach for their trip will want to compile the necessary paperwork prior to picking up their vehicle. Drivers who are coming to the city from abroad will need to present both a valid, government-issued driver’s license and their passport in order to obtain a car rental in Long Beach. While an IDP, or International Driver’s Permit, is not required, it is recommended; this is especially the case for drivers whose license is in a language other than English. All renters must also present a major credit card with a high available balance in order to secure a car and must be at least 21 years old or older. Keep in mind, however, that a young drivers fee may be applied to rentals for drivers who are between the ages of 21 through 24.
