Everything was above expectations. Check in and check out were fast and simple, shuttle to the airport was also easy. 24hr checkout and shuttle was a plus since we had a very early flight out. I was hesitant going with a company I have never heard of before (I am from Canada) but I am so glad I went with Sixt instead of the typical large rental companies. I will always look to book with them in the future if travelling to a place they service

How much does it cost to rent a car at LAX?

Find the cheapest car rental rates for Los Angeles Airport and your travel dates in our booking funnel. The final price will depend on your trip's dates and length, if you make your reservation online in advance or if you choose to book some add-ons for instance. You can also check our latest car rental deals that might apply to your trip.

Does LAX have on site car rental?

All Rental Car offices are located off-airport, away from airline terminals; which means that you will need a shuttle to reach them. The shuttles can be found on the Arrivals Level islands outside baggage claim. They run every 15 to 20 min and the ride is only 3 to 5 minutes long!

How long does it take to return a rental car at LAX?

SIXT's office is very easily accessible from the I-110 and the I-10. The vehicle's drop-off should only take a few minutes and will be faster if you've added prepaid fuel or a full protection package to your booking. Please take into account the short ride to the terminals when you calculate the time for your car's return.

To rent a car with SIXT at LAX you need to be at least 21 with a valid license. Some car categories have a higher minimum rental age, and an underage driver fee may apply.
