Touch down at LAX, step onto World Way, and follow the purple "Rental Car Shuttle" signs on the Arrivals level. If you booked your car rental with Hola Car Rentals, you’ll ride a dedicated shuttle to the Consolidated Rent‑A‑Car (ConRAC) facility just off Century Boulevard. Shuttles loop continuously, so you can focus on luggage and directions instead of waiting in a taxi queue.

Where exactly do I board the shuttle?

After baggage claim, exit to the curb marked for rental shuttles. Look for curbside islands signed for the “Rental Car Shuttle.” Staff and digital boards help channel queues during busy periods, especially around evening banked arrivals.

How does the ConRAC work?

The ConRAC consolidates most major providers in one complex, with clear wayfinding between counters, garages, and returns. Drop‑off and pick‑up areas are separated for smoother traffic flow. If you’re choosing a vehicle on site, consider stepping up to freeway‑ready SUVs for faster merges onto the I‑405 and I‑105, or pick family‑size minivans if you’re traveling with strollers or surfboards.

Timing and expectations

Peak periods coincide with international arrivals and holiday weekends. Build a small buffer for the short shuttle hop plus counter time. Line speed improves if you complete the driver details in advance and have your payment card ready. If you’re meeting others, designate a single baggage carousel and share live location to avoid missed calls in a noisy hall.

Accessibility and luggage

Shuttles accommodate wheelchairs and oversize items, but it helps to stage your bags near the curb before the bus arrives. Strollers should be folded, and surfboards should be handled at the rear doors where space is widest. Keep passports and confirmation emails in a top pocket—you may be asked to show them before boarding at busy times.

Returns without stress

On departure day, follow airport signs for “Rental Car Return” toward Century Boulevard. Allow a little extra time for the final shuttle ride back to your terminal, especially for red‑eye departures. Snapping quick photos of the fuel gauge, dash, and exterior speeds up any post‑return queries.

Tips to make pick‑up painless

  • Set your phone’s maps to “ConRAC LAX” for step‑by‑step walking cues from Arrivals.
  • Save your booking barcode for quick scanning at the counter.
  • Photograph the vehicle on pickup and return for peace of mind.
  • Plan your first turn: Century Blvd to I‑405 north is a quick right; southbound uses the I‑105 connector.
