Methodology: learn how we calculate these charts
The charts “Which days have the lowest car rental rates?”, “Which month has the best car rental rates?”, “How far in advance should I book?”, “How does the daily rate change with rental length?” and “How much do rentals cost by car type?” are built from the daily rates Priceline customers actually paid for rental cars at Los Angeles International Airport, grouped by pick-up month, day of the week, how far ahead they booked (up to 90 days), how many days they rented and the type of car.
Where a location has too few rentals to fill every point in a chart, we borrow the shape of the curve from nearby locations with similar prices and fit it to the rates booked here.
Because past rates don’t reflect today’s market, each chart is then fitted to the rates found in this page’s current search: its value at the search’s own pick-up month, day, booking lead time and rental length is set to the current good-deal rate.
The Good to Know deal cards and the cars listed on this page come directly from that recent search, not from historical bookings.

It's your ticket to exploring the sprawling city, hitting iconic beaches, and venturing into nearby attractions like Disneyland or Hollywood on your own schedule. Plus, with LA's extensive road network, having your own wheels is often the most convenient way to get around.

January is the cheapest month at $43 per day and March the priciest at $61, while the most affordable car type is the Supplier Choice Car at $37 per day, with the Mid Size Car the most popular choice at 19% of rentals. The rate barely changes by day of week, ranging only from $51 on Tuesday to $54 on Sunday.

LAX hosts a wide array of major car rental companies. You'll find popular choices like Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, Budget, National, Alamo, Dollar, Thrifty, and Sixt, among others. Priceline works with all the top brands to help you compare options and find the perfect deal.
How do I get to the rental car pick-up areas from LAX terminals?
LAX has a consolidated Rental Car Center (RCC) that's easily accessible from all terminals. Once you land, you'll simply follow the signs for the 'LAX-it' shuttle, which will take you directly to the RCC where all rental car company counters and pick-up areas are located. It's a convenient and efficient system designed to get you on your way quickly.
What kind of car should I rent for driving in Los Angeles?
The best car for your LA trip depends on your itinerary and travel style. A compact or economy car is great for solo travelers or couples looking for fuel efficiency and easier parking. If you're traveling with family or need more space for luggage, an SUV or a full-size sedan would be a smart choice. For that true LA experience, a convertible could be fun, too!
What's the minimum age to rent a car at LAX?
Generally, the minimum age to rent a car at LAX is 21 years old. However, renters between 21 and 24 years old typically incur a 'young renter' surcharge, which varies by rental company. Some premium or specialty vehicles may also have a higher minimum age requirement.
Do I need special insurance for my rental car in California?
While California law requires a minimum amount of liability insurance, your personal auto insurance policy might extend to rental cars. It's also wise to check with your credit card company, as many offer some form of rental car insurance benefits. Rental companies will offer options like Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI), and Personal Accident Insurance (PAI). It's savvy to understand what coverage you already have before you decide on additional options.
Can I pick up my car at LAX and drop it off at a different location?
Absolutely! Many travelers choose the convenience of one-way rentals. You can often pick up your car at LAX and drop it off at another location within Los Angeles, elsewhere in California, or even in another state. Be aware that one-way rentals usually incur a 'drop-off' fee, which is added to your total cost.
What are the typical fuel policies for rental cars at LAX?
Rental car companies at LAX generally offer a 'full-to-full' fuel policy, meaning you pick up the car with a full tank and are expected to return it full. They may also offer pre-paid fuel options, where you pay for a full tank upfront and can return it empty, or a 'return-empty' option where you pay for fuel used at a higher per-gallon rate. 'Full-to-full' is often the most cost-effective option if you plan to refill.
Are there toll roads around Los Angeles, and how do they work with rental cars?
Yes, there are some toll roads, bridges, and express lanes in the greater Los Angeles area. Most rental car companies offer electronic toll collection devices (like FasTrak transponders) or services that automatically charge tolls to your rental agreement, often with a daily administrative fee. It's a convenient way to manage tolls without stopping, but check with your rental company about their specific toll program and associated costs.
What documents do I need to pick up my rental car at LAX?
To pick up your rental car, you'll need a valid driver's license, a major credit card in the primary renter's name (for the security deposit and payment), and your rental confirmation or reservation number. International travelers should also have their passport and potentially an International Driving Permit (IDP) if their license is not in English.
How far in advance should I book my rental car for LAX?
Booking late is cheaper at LAX: the same-day daily rate is $52, while booking two to three months ahead costs $62 per day. The sweet spot is about one week out, at $50 per day. Booking ahead does give you a wider choice of cars, so if you need a specific type like an SUV or minivan, or are traveling at a busy time, you may still want to reserve early.
What should I do if my flight to LAX is delayed?
If your flight to LAX is delayed, it's a good idea to contact your rental car company directly to inform them of your new arrival time. Most companies will hold your reservation for a reasonable period, but communicating with them can prevent your reservation from being canceled, especially if it's a significant delay. Keep your confirmation number handy!
Are there child safety seat options available for rental cars at LAX?
Yes, car rental companies at LAX typically offer various child safety seats, including infant, toddler, and booster seats, for an additional daily fee. It's highly recommended to reserve these seats in advance when you book your car, as availability can be limited, especially during busy travel times. Ensure you know how to properly install the seat upon pick-up.
What are some tips for driving in Los Angeles?
Driving in Los Angeles can be an adventure! Here are a few savvy tips: use GPS or a reliable navigation app to help with traffic and directions, especially during rush hour (generally 6-10 AM and 3-7 PM on weekdays). Always allow extra time for travel, as traffic can be unpredictable. Be aware of carpool lanes (HOV lanes) and their requirements. And remember, exploring LA by car opens up endless possibilities!
