KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in El Monte
- Renting a car from a car rental in El Monte is prudent if you want to actively tour this city.

Some of the top sights in and on the outskirts of El Monte that are worth driving to include the San Gabriel Valley, Whittier Narrows Recreation Area, El Monte Historical Museum, Peck Road Water Conservation Park, and Zamora Park.
- Long Beach Airport (LGB) is the nearest major airport to El Monte.

Pros:
NothingCons:
The branch was closed due to covid. I had booked weeks ago and still to this day, kayak, enterprise and pricelines websites all say this branch is open. I ubered to this branch, it was closed and proceline said all they could do for me was cancel my reservatuon which meant i was still left without a rental car. I had to quickly uber to a further enterprise to get a car costing me a couple of hours and $30 in u planned ubers.3.6 Poor

Cons:
The car was filthy. I wiped everything down and was told they santize it before we took the car. The car also had cigarette burns on the seat and stains on the seat. I was extremely concerned about the dirtiness of the car. I hope I don’t get covid 195.6 Fair

I returned the car less than an hour late, but it's 5 minutes before closing. Did I really deny them a full day's worth of renting out the car? No, but they took a day's worth of money. Real fuckin' nice10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
I went to the Hertz website and checked the price, then went to Hotwire. Hotwire saved me about $100 and allowed me to get car insurance and come out at about the same price as Hertz. The insurance through Hotwire was only $9 a day, which was cheaper than Hertz also.Dollar
