KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Santa Clarita
- If you have been on vacation before, then you may understand the frustration that comes with waiting for public transport or standing in line waiting for a taxi. You could be late for your business meeting or miss out on a few items on your itinerary because you have to keep up with a certain schedule. But what if you can move at your own pace, time, and flexibility? This is achievable by renting a car from one of the top car rentals in Santa Clarita. You’ll have the ability to get to places quicker, have the chance to tick all the boxes on your Santa Clarita bucket list, experience areas you might not be able to through public transportation, and save money in the process. With a rental car, you can drive as far as 57 miles away to Disneyland Park in about an hour or drop in at the Sunken City Trail about 55 miles away.
- Once you book your rental car through KAYAK, you'll find it waiting for you at the Los Angeles International Airport if you prefer to drive yourself to the city. If not, you can have the Santa Clarita car rental agency of your choice deliver it to your preferred convenient location. To find the rental car counter at the airport, follow the signs that’ll take you to baggage claim, then proceed outside to find rental car shuttles waiting to take you to the car lot. You'll ride the shuttle from the rental company of your choice, which could be Enterprise, Budget, Avis, or Hertz. When you're done with your trip, you find the Rental Car Return facility on Airport Blvd, and there'll be shuttles available to take you to the terminal to catch your flight.
- When driving on Santa Clarita roads, it's a good idea to be wary of pedestrians and cycling of the road. Wait for pedestrians to cross on crosswalks and avoid using cellphones while driving at all times.
- Santa Clarita has busy intersections as it's a commuting community. The Newhall Ranch and Bouquet Canyon Road intersection stands to be one of the busiest in the city. This intersection receives heavy foot traffic as well due to the shopping centers around, so be watchful of pedestrians. The Soledad Canyon Road and Bouquet Canyon Road intersection is in second place, and the Soledad Canyon Road and Whites Canyon Road intersection in third. The morning commute rush hour spans from 5am to 10am, after which it gets back to normal and peaks again in the evening from 5pm to 8pm. Winter roads in Santa Clarita can also be quite dangerous, and if the city gets snow, you may encounter backed-up traffic or full closure, especially on Interstate 5.
- Book your car hire in Santa Clarita at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate hire cars in Santa Clarita are around 49% more expensive than other car types, on average

Pros:
We loved the vehicle that we had!!Cons:
They told us that there were no vans available likely reserved. When we told them an SUV would not work for us as we had a lot of stuff we needed to bring on our trip then all of the sudden we had an option of two vans. That was confusing to me. I am really thankful we got the van.All Rite
