KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Tustin

  • Car rentals in Tustin offer a more convenient transport option for visitors coming to the city for a vacation with their family, friends, and colleagues. Compared to buses and trains, which have specific drop-off points, departure times, and travel routes, a rental car allows you to drive to just any location of your choice. One of the places you cannot afford missing to visit while in Tustin is Santa Ana Zoon. Having a rental car while visiting this and many other destinations allow you to move conveniently with your personal items.
  • If you are arriving in Tustin via John Wayne International Airport, renting a car will make your movements from the airport to your preferred destination easier and more fun. The airport has a car rental facility that houses desks for all the major Tustin car rentals, including Hertz, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and Allied. This car rental facility is located on the lower level of the Arrivals, between Terminals A and B.
  • You need to remember a few tips when driving your rental car in Tustin. Most of the downtown roads are narrow, with a high number of cyclists and pedestrians in the morning and evening. Always stay alert any time you are behind the wheel on these roads to avoid hitting any. If you are driving your car within the city center, be aware that most vehicles move at a much lower speed. It is good to keep a reasonable distance from the car ahead of you and avoid tailgating.
  • The convenience of using car rentals in Tustin reduces when there is a sharp disruption in the traffic. You will experience notable difficulties when driving your car in Tustin when the city hosts the annual Arts Walk and Crawl event. This event, which occurs in the second week of October every year, attracts a large number of people from various places, which leads to heavy traffic build-up on most of the roads in the city.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Tustin for $38 or less
  • Full-size rental cars in Tustin are around 34% cheaper than other car types, on average

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

    The nature of your destination and the number of people with whom you are traveling are the key determinants of the type of car you should consider renting. Compact and Intermediate SUVs are suitable for those traveling in the company of four or five other people. These types of cars can accommodate quite a number of people inside their doors. Additionally, their luggage space is large enough to accommodate more baggage. Intermediate SUVs are also a good choice if you are driving to off-road destinations. On the contrary, if you are traveling alone or perhaps with your significant other, an economy car, which accommodates up to two adults, will be a good choice for you.

  • What's the speed limit in Tustin?

    The speed limit on the Tustin highways, away from the city center, school zones, and residential zones, is 50 mph unless otherwise indicated. However, if you are driving your car on any road within the residential areas, you have to adhere to a speed limit of 25 mph. The same speed limit applies to all the streets in the city center and all roads near schools. The city uses speed cameras to help reduce the case of drivers violating the speed limit rules. Any red light violation offense could attract a fine of up to $158.

  • Where are the best places to park in Tustin?

    Hotel parking is the most convenient option for drivers looking for a place to park their rental cars in Tustin. Nearly every hotel in Tustin has parking lots that are freely available for its visitors. However, this parking option is limited to those who are staying at one of the hotels in the city. Public parking garages offer the most reliable parking services for all drivers at any time in the city. Consider parking your car at Tustin Metrolink Station Parking, a parking lot located at 2975 Edinger Ave, or Scooter Parking at Tustin Metrolink. These two are easily accessible when driving from different parts of Tustin.

Pros:

How quick they can get you out of there with your rental car, especially during Covid times. No need to step inside the office.

Cons:

Overall it was well done. Limited vehicle choice but I was at a smaller office location. Also customer service said we could get a 4x4 but the office staff were more up front and honest about that. So I’m glad I called ahead.

Pros:

Car was cleaned right before I got it

Cons:

- Check in took too long. I waited 30-40 minutes to receive my vehicle. - Car was still wet - they should have finished cleaning it. - Limited selection of cars, was not able to choose which car I wanted - Staff was polite but it’s not clear what they were doing inside, leaving several customers waiting outside. I was not even acknowledged for the first 5-10 minutes after I got there.
