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. This is because, with a rental, you’ll be able to move from one attraction to another directly without having to experience the time-consuming stopovers and transfers that characterize bus travel in 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. If you’d like to rent a car at this airport, you’ll be able to do so without hassle, as it features counters for El Monte car rentals such as Enterprise and Hertz. The counters for these rentals are located at the Airport Ground Transportation Center. You will simply walk to this facility, given that it is situated directly across the airport’s terminal.
  • If you rent a car from one of the car rentals in El Monte, you need not worry about having a difficult driving experience. This is because El Monte boasts wide roads with proper road signs and paths for cyclists and pedestrians. However, when driving in this city, you should drive at a low speed, constantly check your surroundings, cut distractions, maintain a safe speed between you and the car ahead, and avoid changing lanes abruptly. Adopting the noted driving techniques is essential, as not all El Monte cyclists, pedestrians, and motorists adhere to the city’s traffic rules.

When renting a car, you should request a GPS navigation system to be installed in your rental.

We liked the service and the car chosen. We liked the price and that we were able to use our AAA member discount. The downside was that the car was not available at the time we requested and this meant the car was not properly service nor washed and not sure if sanitized. We left a mat that had food stains on there. Right after we picked it up, we took it to get cleaned. This was an added expense, yet we could not drive it in dirty.

False advertising. Not only is it NOT unlimited mileage, you can’t take the car out of CALIFORNIA! None of which is stated in the info to book. They’ve know. The discrepancy for over a YEAR. They should not be listed at ALL.

I had to cancel it because they told me that they DO NOT offer unlimited miles, even though they DO advertise it, and it was stated on my contract. Very poor service
