Final day in LA? Century Blvd can get busy, so leave a time cushion before your flight. Most suppliers guide you to signed return lanes near their facilities; simply follow roadway signs for “Rental Car Return” as you approach the airport. To plan ahead, compare provider lots and shuttle times on our car rental page, then pick a return window that avoids rush hour.
International visitors can preview directions and vehicle choices on our car hire page. Before you pull into the lane, refill within a few miles of the facility and photograph the fuel gauge and odometer for your records.
Connecting road‑trippers have options: if you’re continuing down the coast after a Hollywood stay, use this San Diego drop‑off path for a smooth handover near the waterfront. For Orange County stays, aim for John Wayne Airport returns. If your next leg heads north toward the Bay, reserve around San Francisco airport corridors to shorten the turn‑in.
Time‑saving checklist
- Top off fuel and keep the receipt.
- Clear the cabin; look under seats and in door pockets.
- Take photos of each side and the dash.
- Arrive early; allow time for the shuttle to the terminal.
