KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in El Segundo

  • El Segundo car rentals allow travelers to see the city and its surroundings at their speed. Consequently, car rentals in El Segundo are a convenient and time-saving alternative to public transit to access remote areas. The Manhattan Beach Pier, Dockweiler State Beach, and El Segundo Museum of Art are all within easy driving distance of any car rentals in El Segundo. In addition, having a car makes going to places like the Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach easier.
  • Both Long Beach Airport (LGB) and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) provide car rental services in El Segundo. The Rental Car Center (RCC) at LAX is where you may find car rentals in El Segundo. Instead of being a part of one of the airport's terminals, as expected, the Rental Car Center is housed in its building some distance from the main terminal complex. Travelers may easily reach the Rental Car Center from the terminals using a free LAX Shuttle. At Long Beach Airport, you may pick up a rental car from the ground level of the parking area just next to the main terminal. Several rental car firms are located close to Long Beach Airport, and some even provide free shuttle service.
  • El Segundo has its own traffic laws and regulations you must follow. Keep in mind that different parts of the city have various speed restrictions. More caution should be exercised around pedestrians and bikers in residential and city centers. There is also stringent enforcement of parking regulations. Additionally, always watch for and adhere to one-way roadway signage. Rush hours might cause traffic delays, so be sure to plan accordingly. Lastly, know what to expect from road conditions and prepare for periodic congestion on essential roads.
  • El Segundo's peak hours are between 7:00 and 9:00 am and 4:00 and 7:00 pm on weekdays. High traffic volumes have been seen on roads such as Rosecrans Avenue, El Segundo Boulevard, and Sepulveda Boulevard during rush hours. In addition, El Segundo has warm weather year-round; therefore, no unique driving challenges are associated with the different seasons. However, extra caution should be used on wet days because of the temporary increase in traffic volume and road problems.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in El Segundo?

    A small, flexible vehicle would be ideal for getting about El Segundo. Because of the city's narrow streets and few parking places, a compact car would be the best option for getting about and maneuvering these situations.

Nonetheless, the number of people and the amount of baggage you want to transport will ultimately determine the ideal car for you.

    El Segundo has different speed restrictions in other areas and on various roads. The average speed restriction is 45 miles per hour on major freeways and arterial highways and 25 miles per hour in school zones and residential neighborhoods. Consequently, pay attention to displayed signs since speed restrictions on major roads and freeways often change. However, due to speed traps in El Segundo, it is crucial to observe and adhere to the established speed limits for safety and to prevent any possible traffic fines.

  • What are the best places to park in El Segundo?

    Dockweiler State Beach, Plaza El Segundo shopping center, and the Downtown Parking building on Main Street are the finest spots to park in El Segundo. In addition, street parking is available along Sepulveda Boulevard, close to many businesses and restaurants. Metered parking spots cost anything from $0.50 to $6 an hour, based on the time of day. However, always consider parking time limitations and prices to avoid unpleasant surprises.

At pickup, Zezgo required me to produce a copy of declarations of my personal automobile policy to avoid a substantial additional charge for liability insurance.This was the first mention to me of this. I was able to contact my insurer and request them to email this information to the pickup office of Zezgo but it added at least 30 minutes to my pickup experience. Had I been aware of this requirement I could have easily brought it with me. This was an annoying blemish on what was otherwise a well run operation.

Zezgo - Los Angeles Here's what to expect: * Wait in line for 1-2 hours if you are scheduled at noon. There is just one to two persons working at the desk and it takes a long time per person. * $1000 deposit on credit card, $2000 if you are an LA resident. They may knock this lower to make you feel better about the extra charge they're about to give you. * "Loss of use" insurance is mandatory and not common on personal car insurance or credit card collision damage waivers. * They will sell it to you. For me it was $20/day additional. (They reduced it from $25/ day) * Need the "declaration page" from auto insurance. It was available via my GEICO app, but you may be able to call and have them email it to you. * They do not accept insurance from Canada or other countries * They only allow one insurance company to be used for the rental. So you can't use GEICO and credit card collision damage waiver together, for instance. I * Declined the toll service (optional). * They reduced the deposit to $250. * They didn't have all the car models that kayak said they had. For instance no Chevy Spark. They said they never have the Spark and don't know why it's listed on the website. CorpUSA group LA was the billing name on the credit card statement. They had zezgo and a few other "brands" of auto rental companies all sharing the same staff and fleet.
