KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hermosa Beach

  • Using car rentals in Hermosa Beach has numerous benefits over-relying on public transport.

You will see purple Rental Car Shuttle signs among the several islands in the middle, which is the pick-up point for all the nearby rental car agencies. The agencies offer a complimentary shuttle service to their rental car center. Car rental agencies in LGB are located in the ground transportation building directly opposite the terminal. At the Arrivals Hall, you must go past the baggage claim area and out of the terminal building to access this rental car center. Their pick-up and drop-off points are a minutes-walk from their counters. LGB has on-site car rentals at the Arrivals Level across the John Wayne Monument between Terminal A and Terminal B.
  • The driving culture in Hermosa Beach is relatively laid back and relaxed. When using car rentals in Hermosa Beach, you must also adapt to the slower pace beach vibe.

Pros:

Nothing - terrible experience. I hope Enterprise goes bankrupt with Hertz. They deserve it.

Cons:

I reserved a car, they didn't have it. I was told a car "might" be available later that afternoon and I should just wait to hear from them. I never heard back. I called later and they said the car was waiting for me to pick up and I would be charged regardless. Terrible, awful service. Whats the point of a reservation if they don't hold the car? Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode of the same occurrence. Lets hope rental companies all go bankrupt and a smart, lean tech company takes over like Uber / Lyft has done to the cab industry. These horrible companies deserve it.

The rental office had very few vehicles in a ready state for rental despite many on the lot. A large number had faults/ recalls or tax issues. There was no car available at our level and we ended up taking a large SUV which we had to take uncleaned. Having said this the staff did their best to accommodate us given their problem with vehicle availability. We did receive a follow up email to check that everything was OK with the car. We had encountered some strange noise from the engine compartment at very low speeds and reported this and enquired if we could switch the vehicle at another office on our trip - but we never received any further correspondence.

Pros:

The gentleman who helped check me in was professional and wanted to help me but still strong armed me into renting the car for 5 days even though I only needed it for 3 and there’s a drop box for this purpose. Furthermore, the car renter to me was old, dusty, and in need of service. Not at all what I was hoping for when renting a car on vacation for $300. Clinton at the Studio City location was very helpful and made the situation better and followed up with me fairly.

Cons:

A reservation line that answers phones after hours, clearer policies when booking as well as hours of operation at various locations, better vehicles available, better customer service...
