With our diverse fleet filled with models for every occasion, it’s easier than ever to find the perfect Santa Monica car rental for your stay. Choose an economy model to easily drive around the city’s downtown and find parking or opt for a convertible to treat yourself and take advantage of the warm California weather as you drive to the beach. We also offer SUVs and minivans if you need to transport sports gear. Our bookable extras make it easy to further customize your rental to your liking, with options including GPS systems, child seats and an additional driver.
Our Santa Monica branch is situated right in the heart of the city on the property of the Shore Hotel. Once you walk into the hotel, you will find the rental desk in the lobby area. We are easily reachable by bus, which you can take to the Ocean/Colorado or 2nd/Broadway stops. If coming by car, we are directly off Highway 1 on Ocean Avenue between Broadway and Colorado avenues. When you return your rental vehicle, you will do so in the hotel’s parking lot in the area that is marked "Car Return".
Enjoy your visit to Santa Monica by exploring the iconic Santa Monica Pier that is filled with restaurants, shops, and rides. If you want to take advantage of the city’s beautiful ocean, go to the pristine Santa Monica State Beach. The Annenberg Community Beach House is also a nice place to visit for a swim, and it is known for being one of the city’s most famous historical buildings. For a fun day trip, consider traveling to the chic city of Santa Barbara that is less than a 2-hour drive.
