KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Cerritos

  • Getting car rentals in Cerritos can go a long way in making your tour of the city a lot more enjoyable. A rental car brings a different level of flexibility that you wouldn’t otherwise get with any other transport option. Whether you want to check out the breathtaking scenery at Don Knabe Community Regional Park, have some fun with friends at The Gardens Casino, or check out the amazing exhibits at The Los Angeles County Fire Museum, you can visit each one of them hassle-free. You will also be able to visit neighboring cities and see some of the most attractive attractions in California such as the Hollywood sign, the Los Angeles Walk of Fame, and various beaches.
  • When going to Cerritos, you could land at John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana or Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Regardless of the airport, you choose to land in, you can still get Cerritos car rentals as both airports are served by close to ten car rental agencies. In the case of John Wayne Airport, you can find the Alamo, Avis, Budget and Enterprise rental agencies’ desks in the lower level of the arrivals area between Terminals A and B. If you’re landing at Los Angeles International Airport, the rental car agencies are slightly distributed around the airport, but you can access them using a shuttle that is available outside baggage claim on the lower level of the arrivals area. Some of the agencies available at this airport include Dollar, Sixt, National, Hertz, and Fox.
  • While jaywalking is illegal in Cerritos, there are still people who do it. Therefore, you need to be very careful when driving around these streets to avoid any unforeseen accidents. In addition, cyclists are also common, especially in residential districts and school zones. For that reason, you need to leave them enough space on roads that don’t have a cycling lane and ensure you double-check your mirrors when turning right just in case there’s one hidden in the blind spot.
  • Driving your car rentals in Cerritos should be a walk in the park as long as you avoid the traffic rush hours between 7 am and 9 am and in the evening between 4 pm and 6 pm. Some of the roads that are mostly affected include the Riverside Freeway and Bloomfield Avenue. It is also worth pointing out that most toll roads in the area don’t have a cash booth so you will have to pay for these tolls online.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Cerritos?

    Different speed limits apply to different roads depending on where they are located. For example, on interstate highways, you can go as fast as 65 mph and 55 mph if the highway is undivided.

It is worth mentioning that in areas where the speed limit is posted on signs, that limit supersedes any other set limits.

  • Where are the best places to park in Cerritos?

    When parking your car rentals in Cerritos for a brief period, street parking is the best option since you will only pay for the duration you have parked and it is much more convenient. However, if you’re parking your car for an extended period, you should consider a parking garage or parking lot such as Cerritos High Parking Lot or 600 Los Cerritos Center Parking. They are more secure and don’t have time limitations.

Pros:

The didn’t have the car reserved. So instantly go a upgrade, the car was perfect for my drive to San Francisco. And looking back I don’t think I would of nearly enjoyed as much with the original car I picked. While doing the vehicle inspection I did not notice the car had a nail in the front passenger tire luckily it did not pop on my trip I noticed it took it to an enterprise unfortunately they did not have a car nearly as nice as the one I was driving so they preferred that I take it to a qualified tire repair shop and have them bill enterprise. They were very nice and didn’t bill me the entire day. And it took maybe 4 hours I had the car by 4 pm.

Cons:

The car had 15% oil life and I noticed it probably halfway through California so completely pointless to stop and get an oil change I just drove it until it hit zero and luckily that was about 20 minutes outside of LA on the way back home. Not a big deal when you deal with as many cars as they do.
