KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Glendale

  • Renting a car on your visit to Glendale comes with a wide array of benefits. For instance, you’ll be able to make multiple stops at sites such as Brand Park and Alex Theatre, travel at off hours around the city, and take a trip in remote and out-of-the-way places like hilltop views, Glendale waterfalls, and more. Opting for a ride from Glendale car rentals gives you more freedom to comfortably visit these places or go to nearby cities such as San Marino and Burbank.
  • Glendale offers a variety of car rental services, most of which are located in or near airports. Bob Hope Airport is the closest to the city, about seven miles from the central business district. Some of the car rentals in Glendale at the rental car center located on the second floor include Enterprise, Hertz, Avis, Budget, and Thrifty. It’ll take you 10min from the main terminal to the second car rental counters. If the pickup location is on a nearby site, the rental cars offer bus shuttle services that’ll drop you at the pickup location where you can pick your vehicle and begin your adventure in the city.
  • Like in major cities, distracted driving is a major cause of accidents in Glendale. Before starting your journey, ensure everything is in order, from the navigation system to your seat’s inclination. This way, you’ll be able to solely concentrate on the road and pay extra attention to the large volume of traffic while maneuvering through the multi-lane highways, busy streets, and U-turns, especially if you are not familiar with the city’s street directions.
  • Driving on Glendale’s streets and highways can be fun when the roads have less traffic. However, heavy traffic during rush hours can derail your journey for about 15min to 45min (morning rush hour is between 7am-10 am, it then resumes at about 5:30pm-7:30pm). For this, give yourself extra time to leave for your desired destination before rush hour or wait until the roads are less congested. If you have to travel during these hours, try to avoid Bell Rd, Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, or 44th St since they are known to be clogged with an increased volume of vehicles. You can opt for 91st Ave, Lower Buckeye Rd, Tolleson, 47th Ave, which are usually less congested.
  • If you will be driving cheap car rentals in Glendale, there are some major roads you need to know. Some of these roads include the Ventura Freeway (Interstate 134), the Glendale Freeway (State Route 2), and the Golden State Freeway (Interstate 5). These three highways intersect in the northern part of Glendale, making it a major transportation hub for the surrounding areas. Additionally, Colorado Boulevard and Glendale Avenue are two major local roads that run through the heart of Glendale and provide access to many of the city's commercial, residential, and cultural areas. Other important local roads in Glendale include Brand Boulevard, San Fernando Road, and Verdugo Road, which provide access to many of the city's neighborhoods, parks, and attractions.
  • Before hitting the road in an electric car rental in Glendale, familiarize yourself with the free EV charging locations. Some free EV charging locations include the Glendale Galleria, which has two Level 2 charging stations. Another option is the Americana at Brand, which has several free Level 2 charging stations. The Glendale Central Library, Glendale Civic Auditorium, and the Glendale Public Works Department each have free EV charging stations open to all drivers. The Glendale Galleria and Americana at Brand are popular shopping and dining destinations with easy access to major roads, making them convenient options for charging while running errands.
  • Glendale, Arizona, is known for its hot and dry climate, with temperatures often reaching over 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer months. Driving in such hot weather can be challenging and potentially dangerous if proper precautions are not taken. Some hot weather driving tips for Glendale include staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water, wearing loose and light-colored clothing to stay cool, and avoiding driving during the hottest parts of the day. It is also important to ensure that your Glendale car rental is properly running, including checking tire pressure and coolant levels, as high temperatures can cause tire blowouts and engine overheating. Additionally, you should closely monitor the vehicle's temperature gauge and pull over immediately if the engine begins to overheat.

Cleaner car. We found a vape cartridge for THC in between the seat. It would have been easier to have automatic lift gate, esp. for older people. But all in all, we will use again!
