KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in San Bernardino

  • Consider car rentals in San Bernadino if you want to take advantage of the phenomenal scenic drives, such as the Rim of the World Highway through San Bernardino National Forest along the National Scenic Byway System, just 30min from town. Take a pit stop at the Deep Creek Hot Springs or head to the Glen Elen Regional Park and Amphitheater to catch a concert. With your San Bernadino car rental, you’ll be just an hour from sunny Palm Springs and under an hour from Los Angeles, and a short drive away from Lake Arrowhead and the Big Bear ski and now resort area.
  • For travelers flying into San Bernardino, the San Bernardino International Airport will be your closest stop. Most car rental branches are located off-site, near the intersection of South E Street and West Rialto Ave. Check when booking, as some providers will offer a free airport pickup. Alternatively, if you are flying into Los Angeles International Airport, proceed to the street outside the baggage claim terminal and find the signs for car rental pickup, and a shuttle will transport you to the car rental offices on-site, a mere 3min drive away.
  • The main highways in San Bernardino are the SR 18 (Waterman Ave) and the SR 66 (5th Street). The main freeways passing in and around the city are the I-10 (San Bernardino Freeway), SR 210 (Foothill Freeway), the I-215 (Barstow Freeway), the SR 259, and the SR 330. There are neither a significant number of cyclists nor pedestrians around the city and it is generally easy to find your way. Seat belts, no cell phone laws, and more than two passengers in carpool lanes are rules that are strictly enforced in San Bernardino, as well as in other parts of the state of California.
  • Traffic in the San Bernardino area is notoriously bad, especially heading west towards LA along the I-10, the Pasadena Freeway 11- or CA-60 westbound. The bulk of the workday rush hours in San Bernardino is usually in the morning, between 6am to 9am, and then from 4pm to 7pm. Carpool lanes, the two lanes farthest to the left of San Bernardino freeways, are designated for cars, buses, and vans with two or more passengers, have attempted to reduce congestion. If you are planning to head into the San Bernardino mountains in the winter months, check road and weather conditions and make sure you travel with tire chains if necessary.
  • Book your rental car in San Bernardino at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard rental cars in San Bernardino are around 28% cheaper than other car types, on average

The rental car office is literally steps away from the airport. San Bernardino International Airport and Hertz Rental Cars make a quick trip to SoCal so convenient and affordable. We can finally fly down and see friends from Loma Linda to Beaumont without costing and arm and a leg or risking life and limb driving out of LAX or Ontario.
