Los Angeles is one of the world's largest cities, and simply getting from one side to the other can literally take hours, especially during rush hour, when the traffic snarls up and chokes the highways and the city streets with a gridlocked mass of cars and buses. Getting around Los Angeles at peak times can be tough, but using the streets is just about the only way to explore LA if you want to see more of the city than the area immediately around where you are staying.
In Los Angeels, the car is the king, and arranging car rental in Los Angeles is a great idea. Most packages include all the necessary insurance rates, and allow for travellers to pick up their car on arrival at Los Angeles International Airport.
If you do book Los Angeles car hire, make sure you get a car that suits both your budget and your needs. Prices are very competitive for the cheapest models on offer, but size of the roads, and amount of traffic in Los Angeles means that many visitors choose to rent larger cars that are more comfortable and better suited to driving on the highways that the super mini models.
