California Car Rental with SIXT
When you book a California car rental with SIXT, you will be able to safely and comfortably explore the famous Golden State. No matter what your preferences and budget are, we have something in our fleet that will suit your needs. Whether you plan on exploring the bustling city of Los Angeles, the hills of San Francisco, or the beaches of San Diego, a SIXT California car rental will help you to do so in style. A convertible is a chic choice that will allow you to soak up some Southern California sunshine, while a compact car will make it easy to navigate busy city streets. Pick your car up from LAX, San Francisco Airport, San Diego Airport, San Jose Airport, or one of our many downtown branches.
SIXT Services in California
From economy models to luxury vehicles, SIXT has it all. Our fleet is filled with a variety of car categories to choose from, including sedans, SUVs, minivans, pickups, sports cars, convertibles and passenger vans. When you rent a car in California, you can also choose some bookable extras to further customize your experience, such as an additional driver or child seats. While a one-day rental is a convenient option for a beach day, a weekly rental is a good choice if you will be going on a longer road trip.

Winter in California
The winter months in California tend to be colder and wetter, meaning that this is a convenient time to enjoy some of the state’s indoor activities, such as museums. The Getty is a famous museum in Los Angeles that has a selection of contemporary art, while the Bowers Museum is in Santa Ana and has over 100,000 objects from different cultures, including pre-Columbian Mesoamerica and Native American art.
