DB8-TypeR Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 We just used rentalscars.com, was easy to change bookings and prices were good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Copied that link into google, couldn't work out why the site didn't look all that legit. Then I noticed it's spelt "rental scars" http://www.rentalcars.com On the same topic though, any experience with "exotic" rentals, short term like a day in an old muscle car etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I rented from Alamo in LA. Sweet cause you pay for whatever class of vehicle you want then you can just walk around the carpark and jump in whatever tickles your fancy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try turo for exotic etc, its like airbnb where you rent sombodys car rather than a rental company. I think you need to be over 30 to get anything worth over $55k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 You really shouldn't have told me about Turo... They have boring cars too, for similar money to the normal car rental places. But sort by high to low price and dreaming is good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 For those that have done the LA thing, what is the best method for transport? I was thinking of renting a car for the whole time as it's not THAT spendy. But i've read the traffic can be a bit shit. So I guess there is metro buses / trains, but perhaps dealing with traffic is worth the freedom to go wherever whenever. Experiences?

Mr Vapour Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I lived in LA when.I was 20. You need a car. The place is fucking huge. Having a car will let you go down to San Diego, up to big bear and all the good outlet malls are on the out skirts. And need to go to six flags and the water park. There is a race track at Pomona and I think you are planning on going to a car show. Again it's.on the outskirts. Where are you planning on staying? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Sweet, good to know! Yeah having looked at the map, it's looks stupidly big. Plan to hit Vegas, but no further than that. Accommodation wise, no idea yet. Any suggestions on good areas that won't cost silly money? Hoping to work out some options this weekend for accommodation, to avoid it getting too spendy. Inadvertently picked a busy time to go, July. Somewhere quieter to stay would be good, as will grab car for the whole time now, so happy to commute wherever. Not sure if Motel / Hotel / Holiday Inn spec stuff is the way to go or what. Preference given to areas i'm not likely to get shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Vapour Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I lived in a place called Redondo beach. Cool place the pier had some cool pubs, not far from the airport. Ride a bike to Venus beach. Two freeways close. Have no idea on cost. But could be a cool base. How long are you there for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Couple weeks, minus vegas trip, so about 1/10th the time i'd like to be there haha. Will look that area up in the morning cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB8-TypeR Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 We had a car for a few days, did universal studios, disneyland, long beach etc. Then dropped it back and stayed at Venice Beach for a few more days(Cadillac Hotel was good, right on the beach and not too expensive), can get hop on hop off tourist bus things from Santa Monica pier into hollywood/beverly hills, hire bike/walk the boardwalk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
