Several car rental providers operate out of Long Beach Airport. Most rental desks are located in the Ground Transportation center, right outside the baggage claim area. Book ahead for the best deals and widest range of vehicle types. Remember to bring your valid driving licence, plus a credit or debit card for the security deposit.
Given Southern California's variable terrain and weather, an intermediate or full-size car is the most convenient choice for most travellers. Convertibles are also a popular choice for those seeking the quintessential California cruising experience. However, if you plan to visit the nearby desert or mountain areas, consider renting an SUV.
Unlike in the UK, traffic drives on the right side of the road in the US. Likewise, cars are left-hand drive. Roundabouts are not common here; intersections are more prevalent. Be prepared for this switch to ensure a safe driving experience.
Most rental cars come with the ‘full-to-full’ petrol policy, which means you'll need to refill the car before returning it. Conveniently, several petrol stations are located within a 3-mile radius of Long Beach Airport. Do a quick search via the sat-nav to find the closest one.
While credit and debit cards are widely accepted across the US, it's still useful to have some dollar bills handy for small transactions or in case card readers aren't available. Check for the latest exchange rates before your trip.
Long Beach downtown is just a 15-minute drive from the airport. The iconic Pacific Coast Highway is easily reachable too. If you plan to visit Los Angeles or Anaheim, Interstate 405 connects you directly. Obtain a map or use a sat-nav system to plan your journey efficiently.
Get ready for sun-soaked days! Southern California enjoys a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild winters. The months of May through August are the hottest. Don’t forget your sunscreen!
