Top tips for renting a car in Burbank
- Make your trip to Burbank count by renting the car of your dreams. Explore this part of California in the comfort of your own ride. Cheap car rentals in burbank will give you a rare opportunity to visit the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame, which is a 30-minute ride from Central Burbank. Likewise, you can drive yourself to Warner Bros Studio, tour Martial Arts History Museum, or spend some time at Verdugo Park and Recreation Center while playing tennis, basketball, and pool among other sports. If shopping is on your mind, Burbank Town Center should be your next stop since it provides a free parking lot for shoppers. Burbank Aviation Museum at Valhalla Memorial Park on 1533 N Ontario Street ushers visitors into the country’s history of top pilots, engineers, mechanics, and other renowned pioneers of the flight industry. All these activities are possible with a car rental from one of countless car hire agencies in Burbank.
- If you are arriving in Burbank by air, you may find it convenient to pick up your car right at Hollywood Burbank Airport. Featured car rental companies at this airport include Hertz, Dollar, Sixt, Thrifty, Enterprise, Midway, Alamo, and Avis. All you have to do is to locate the rental car counter at the Regional Intermodal Transportation Center across the airport’s parking lot and you will be good to start your exploration. Follow the signs “Baggage Claim” or “Arrivals” all the way to the baggage claim, collect your luggage, and walk up to the rental car supplier of your choice. Present your car reservation documents and your flight itinerary to the agents at the car rental desk and collect the car keys.
- Burbank is a haven for tourists and locals who enjoy jaywalking, especially in summer. So, you need to be alert at all times just in case you come across the ever-enthusiastic street-crossers. Bear in mind that motorists need to yield to any pedestrians crossing the street within the state of California. With that being said, avoid the risk of being ticketed for not allowing pedestrians to cross the street in Burbank. Also, avoid rush hours by starting your road trips earlier than 6:00 am and before 3:00 pm on weekdays, particularly when driving along I-405.
- No trip to Burbank would be complete without renting a car. There simply is no better way to see the sights in Burbank and Los Angeles than in the comfort of your own vehicle. Say you want to see the Hollywood Walk of Fame, for instance. You could take public transport and spend 50 minutes hopping on and off buses and the metro, or you could drive and be there in 30 minutes from Central Burbank.
- Excited to begin your trip in Burbank? If step one of your trip is to pick up your rental car and your flight lands at Hollywood Burbank Airport, then you can find the rental car desks at the Regional Intermodal Transportation Center just outside and across the parking lot from the airport.
- Pedestrians jaywalking is very common in Burbank so drivers should keep their eyes open at all times for any potential street-crossers. It is also important to note that drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in California, and you actually risk being ticketed if you don’t yield to a pedestrian crossing the street.
- Burbank as a part of Los Angeles experiences its fair share of rush hour traffic. In general, drivers can expect rush hour to start as early as 6:00 a.m. and to last until 10:00 a.m. during the week. In the afternoon the traffic starts up again at around 3:00 p.m. and begins to wind down by around 7:00 p.m. I-405 is often one of the worst hit roads during rush hour, as it goes by Burbank, and should be avoided if possible during peak hours of traffic.

Rental car pickup was a long walk from the airport. When we got there, the Dollar booth was closed, and we had to go to another location.2.0 Poor
Dec 2021
Cons:
Because of COVID I was unable to travel and Priceline would not work with me to move the date of pick up. I live in Los Angeles and we are in lockdown. These are unforeseen circumstances and you would think a large company like Priceline would concede and let me reschedule to a future date. They did not work with me. I lost $400 in this transaction and will never use them again.8.0 Very good

Jun 2020
Pros:
Pick up was easyCons:
The car was dirty. ( insides were covered in dust and had a horrible musty smell) I needed to extend the length of the rental, but the automated phone line kept hanging up or disconnecting. I called the local office and they tried to charge me a completely different amount. I went to the office to show my receipt and he looked it up and said it was a computer malfunction. I then had to wait nearly 40 minutes to get my car. I will consider looking for other rental companies next time.10.0 Wonderful

Oct 2020
Pros:
Very friendly staffCons:
I ordered a Cadillac or similar and was offered a Volvo SUV which is not my style. I ordered a luxury car. I was then offered a compact sports sedan, which ended up being a BMW 3 series. It was nice but I am a big person and do not like SUVs and order luxury cars for the very large size and extra room. The BMW 3 series is a very nice car but much smaller inside than the Cadillac or Lincoln I'm usually ordering. I did not receive the car class size I ordered. I was not unhappy but the experience was not great either.5.6 Fair
Jul 2019
Pros:
Friendly staff when we finally arrived to correct Enterprise location. It did save us money, but was a hassle we weren't prepared for.Cons:
When I called Enterprise to confirm the car reservation, I asked about pickup, since this was not the airport location. I was told it was 3.6 miles from airport and there would be a free shuttle to pick us up. Turned out to NOT be true, and almost 8 mile Lyft ride to get there.10.0 Wonderful
Jan 2019
Pros:
The staff was extremely accommodating. They were very helpful even though our flight was delayed and we arrived after the office had closed. They still provided us with the hard to find van when we arrived a day late, they honored our original reservation price and provided an uber to get back to the airport upon return. Very courteous and helpful staff and management.10.0 Wonderful
May 2017
Pros:
Friendly and fast service. They picked me up and dropped me off at the airport. The car rental from Enterprise on the web was actually the price I paid!!!10.0 Wonderful
May 2017
Pros:
I didn't realize that they were not at the airport but the airport location coordinated with them to pick us up.Cons:
My car was not ready although I reserved it a month in advance. The did not have the size I had reserved & had to give me a much larger vehicle (fortunately at the same price).2.0 Poor
Apr 2017
Cons:
Terrible customer service and rates. They were out of economy cars so they gave us a suv but charged us for the suv at a rate of 90/day! My reservation was for 10/day. They wouldnt match better prices even when I showed them my reservation on my phone or showed them better deals via expedia and kayak. Never again.Avis

Nov 2019
Cons:
BUR desk was understaffed. FAT staff was, well, lazy. At drop-off an Avis guy Ian paid to stand there and tell you you have to record your own mileage and fuel and walk in to the terminal to check out and get a receipt. The lady at the desk seemed put out that I already had the mileage and fuel so she couldn’t send me back to get it. Not a good look.8.0 Very good
Aug 2019
Pros:
Staff at pickup were really helpful. Drop off employee was abrupt and very unfriendly.Cons:
Car windows on inside were dirty and some trash from previous rental was still in the car. Disappointing. Also cost to drop off at different location was very steep. Dissapointed.9.2 Wonderful
Aug 2018
Pros:
We thought we had rented at the airport but it was actually at a nearby rental center. Avis airport personnel were not helpful and pushed a hard sell for products we didn't need. When we arrived (by taxi) at the correct spot, the man behind the counter was extremely helpful and pleasant. He checked us in and got us on our way quickly.Payless

Apr 2021
Cons:
My main complaint is with the billing process. It was written in my confirmation that "Thrify charged the total cost of this reservation ($85.25) to your credit card today." However, when I picked up the car I was charged an additional $21.17 in miscellaneous services charges and taxes. I have rented cars and purchased flights through Kayak for many years and have never before experienced this "bait and switch" technique. I don't know if this scam was the fault of Kayak, Thrifty or CarRentals.com but suffice to say, I won't be using any of these companies again. If I can't trust you to quote me a fair price, then we can't do business with each other.4.0 Mediocre

Apr 2017
Cons:
I wanted to extend my rental. The credit card I had on file was lost, and discontinued. They would not take a new credit card over the phone. They said this was for my own protection, and prevents fraudulent car rentals. However the car has already been rented... I had already proven my identity when I picked it up. I was not renting a new car. Unless someone had stolen my car, credit card, and was conscientious enough to call Alamo to extend the rental... there is no reason to worry about fraud. Additionally other large companies take credit card information over the phone. To say it is not a secure method is lazy, and hinders Alamo from providing a better customer experience. The customer service rep agreed that the policy did not make sense in my case, but that she could do nothing about it, it was simply "the policy." To me, then, that is the definition of bad policy. I was forced to return to the airport, out of my way, to prove for the second time I am who I am. Just a terrible customer service experience. I will not be renting with Alamo or affiliated Alamo brands in the future.10.0 Wonderful
