KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Whittier

  • Consider utilizing the services of car rentals in Whittier any time you are in the city for a business trip, vacation, or a romantic weekend with your significant other. Compared to buses, which are the main means of transport within the city, Whittier car rentals offer the advantage of enhanced flexibility and convenience. You can flexibly decide your own departure schedule and use a route that is more convenient for you. Whittier College Field, also known as Memorial Stadium, is one of the places you can visit using your rental car. The car allows you to move around with your personal items conveniently.
  • Booking rental cars in Whittier allows you to enjoy self-drive from Long Beach Airport (LGB) to Whittier city center and many other destinations of your preferences. All the major car rentals in Whittier, including Avis, Hertz, Enterprise, and Budget, have their desks at the LGB car rental counter. The car rental counter is close to the baggage claim area, inside the main terminal. Upon landing, follow the signposts to the respective desk of your preferred car rental provider.
  • When you are driving your rental car in Whittier, you need to put in mind two important things. A good number of roads in downtown Whittier are wide and in good condition. Don't fall into the temptation of driving at top speeds because there are many cyclists using these roads. Many of them jump into roads without warning. You could easily hit them if you are not alert. Most drivers in Whittier are skeptical of tailgating and easily take offense to that. Always maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you while driving on any road in the city.
  • Traffic congestion witnessed during the morning and evening rush hour poses greater difficulties to drivers using car rentals in Whitter. Between 8:00 am and 9:00 am, it is difficult to navigate most of the roads in the city because of the heavy traffic. The same situation happens in the evening, beginning from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm. The most affected road during this period is Whittier Boulevard, which you should avoid if there is an alternative road to take you to your destination.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Whittier for $37 or less
  • Book your rental car in Whittier at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Premium rental cars in Whittier are around 83% cheaper than other car types, on average

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

    Your destination and the number of people that ARE accompanying you determine the type of car you should rent while in Whittier. If you intend to visit off-road destinations, intermediate SUVs will be a good car option for you. These cars can also accommodate a considerable number of people and more baggage.

If you are traveling alone with just one or two pieces of baggage, an economy car will be a good option for you. Nissan Versa is one of the economy car brands you will reliably get from any of the Whittier car rentals. On the other hand, Volkswagen Jetta is a reliable brand for intermediate SUVs.

  • What's the speed limit in Whittier?

    Observe a speed limit of 25 mph any time you are driving your rental car within the school zones or within the central business district. When you are driving within residential areas, you have to keep a speed limit of 30 mph. The speed limit gets higher on major highways within Whittier and interstate highways. A speed limit of 55 mph is permissible on most of the highways within the city. On interstate highways, such as I-95, you can drive at a speed of 70 mph. The city has speed cameras all over to curb various traffic violations.

  • Where are the best places to park in Whittier?

    Park your rental car at one of the public parking garages in Whittier conveniently at pocket-friendly rates. The Historic Uptown Public Parking and Uptown Parking Structure Comstock are some of the popular public parking garages in Whittier. Street parking is another better parking alternative in the city. From Monday to Saturday, 7 am to 6 pm, you can park your car along various streets in the city at an affordable rate of $1 per hour. Street parking is free on Sundays and on public holidays.

We were told that we would be charged $300 because a dog hair was tracked into our car from a piece of luggage. I took the car back and used a household vacuum and lint roller to clean it up after being told they didn’t have the equipment to remove pet hair. I was returning the car 4 hours early and was told “I won’t charge you the extra hour” as if that was some kind gesture. I completely understand that having pets in vehicles causes damage. We never had a pet in the car. But beware if you are even AROUND a pet during your travels because their policy is $300 for any hair - even one that got tracked in on a piece of luggage. That’s excessive. We were charged an additional $40 to add a driver which was not disclosed at the time and then was not able to be explained by the person to whom we returned the rental. They ended up waiving the fee after I asked for an explanation of the charge since I was returning it detailed, with extra gas, and 4 hours early. Would not recommend.

Although we booked through a third party, we were allowed to book at 5pm. This was actually the "temporary" closing time for the company. We made it a few minutes late, thinking the closing time was later and the worker there was very rude about us being late. Although the hours were confusing, he would not help us and requested we return the following day. We had to completely change our vacation plans for this reason.

Service was horrible. I asked reserved a full size car. I was offered a choice of a commercial size van that had been side swiped and was damaged along the entire length of the vehicle or a Tahoe instead. He told me he was upgrading me at no cost and I was getting a deal. I told him I would not be able to park either vehicle. He didn’t bother getting out of his chair the entire time. The vehicles looked like rent a wrecks. Never again.
