KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in San Bernardino
Consider car rentals in San Bernadino if you want to take advantage of the phenomenal scenic drives, such as the Rim of the World Highway through San Bernardino National Forest along the National Scenic Byway System, just 30min from town. Take a pit stop at the Deep Creek Hot Springs or head to the Glen Elen Regional Park and Amphitheater to catch a concert. With your San Bernadino car rental, you’ll be just an hour from sunny Palm Springs and under an hour from Los Angeles, and a short drive away from Lake Arrowhead and the Big Bear ski and now resort area.
For travelers flying into San Bernardino, the San Bernardino International Airport will be your closest stop. Most car rental branches are located off-site, near the intersection of South E Street and West Rialto Ave. Check when booking, as some providers will offer a free airport pickup. Alternatively, if you are flying into Los Angeles International Airport, proceed to the street outside the baggage claim terminal and find the signs for car rental pickup, and a shuttle will transport you to the car rental offices on-site, a mere 3min drive away.
The main highways in San Bernardino are the SR 18 (Waterman Ave) and the SR 66 (5th Street). The main freeways passing in and around the city are the I-10 (San Bernardino Freeway), SR 210 (Foothill Freeway), the I-215 (Barstow Freeway), the SR 259, and the SR 330.

Carpool lanes, the two lanes farthest to the left of San Bernardino freeways, are designated for cars, buses, and vans with two or more passengers, have attempted to reduce congestion. If you are planning to head into the San Bernardino mountains in the winter months, check road and weather conditions and make sure you travel with tire chains if necessary.
