KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Glendale
Car rentals in Glendale will be more convenient than relying on public transit due to the limited routes provided in the area, and the high number of connections you would need to make in order to visit other cities in the Los Angeles metropolitan area or in downtown Los Angeles. While a drive to downtown Los Angeles generally takes about 15min in a personal vehicle, the public transit averages 50min. If you are planning a beach trip, such as visiting nearby Santa Monica, you will be able to pack more materials and food in a personal vehicle than if you relied on bus transport.
Glendale and the Los Angeles metropolitan area are serviced by Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which offers Glendale car rentals at the rental car facilities located off-site. Take the purple rental car shuttle bus from outside the baggage claim at any of the terminals to and from the rental car building.
Due to the consistently warm weather, many people ride bikes in Glendale. Check your mirrors and blind spots before making any turns, especially when you are turning across a bike lane. When you are parking, double-check your mirror before opening your door to ensure you are not blocking a cyclist who is riding in the lane next to your parking spot. Glendale also has a law against eating or drinking while you are driving, so be sure to get your fill before you are behind the wheel.
