Using assistance from car rentals in Huntington Beach, you can drive about 4.2 miles to the Bolsa Chica State Beach for a fun-filled surfing day. You can get to this city via three airports, the Los Angeles International Airport, John Wayne Airport, and Long Beach Airport.
  • Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is about 36 miles away from Huntington Beach. The John Wayne Airport (SNA) is around 10 miles, while the Long Beach Airport (LGB) sits approximately 17 miles from central Huntington Beach. John Wayne Airport has a convenient center for car rentals in Huntington Beach where you can get Fox, U-Save, Thrifty, Turo, and GREEN MOTION services. You can board a shuttle from the airport’s Ground Transportation Center at the lower Arrival Level to the pick-up location. Long Beach Airport contains a Rental Car Center with several providers such as Budget, Turo, Alamo, Avis, Enterprise, and National. You can access this center by following the signs to the Baggage Claim, exiting the terminal, and proceeding to their counters. Upon arriving via the Los Angeles International Airport, you can find companies like Ace Rent-A-Car, GREEN MOTION, NU Car, Economy Rent a Car, Priceless, U-Save, and Thrifty at the Rental Car office. The airport has a courtesy shuttle service that can efficiently transport you to the pick-up point. You can get these buses below the purple Rental Car Shuttles sign outside the Baggage Claim on the arrivals level islands.
  • Huntington Beach has freeway access to the three airports, making it comfortable to move in and around the city in your rented car. The multiple public streets and major highways, such as I-405 (San Diego Freeway), Highway 1 (Pacific Coast Highway), and Highway 39 (Beach Blvd), that facilitate efficient maneuverability. You want to carefully watch for cyclists because many Huntington Beach residents use bicycles and sometimes ride outside the assigned bike lane. The city also has jaywalking situations, so you should drive with keen attention to the pedestrians.
  • Huntington Beach experiences heavy traffic along the major roads during the evening rush hours, such as I-405 that welcomes commuters from LAX. It’s recommended to organize your schedule with some flexibility because most morning congestion occurs from about 7am to around 10am. This seaside city has snow-less winters and maintains pleasant conditions nearly all year, enabling you to enjoy quality driving on your visit.
  • Book your car hire in Huntington Beach at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:

Friendly staff and quick service without upselling.

Cons:

The parking lot is not marked well enough given the tight space. Painting on the ground would help determine where to pick up and drop off the cars and where to wait if you're getting dropped off or picked up by someone?
