Theme Park Touring
SUV

AutoAn ideal pick for UK families visiting Disneyland, this mid-size SUV offers a roomy boot for pushchairs, shopping and day bags. The raised driving position helps with busy I-5 traffic and tight theme park car parks, while automatic gears and strong air conditioning keep everyone cool. Reversing cameras are a real bonus in crowded lots.
Coastal Cruising
Convertible

AutoSouthern California sunshine makes a convertible hard to beat on the Pacific Coast Highway to Laguna or Huntington Beach. Smooth automatic gears handle coastal bends with ease, and dropping the roof turns an ordinary drive into a holiday highlight. Pack light for the small boot, but the sea breeze and golden light are well worth it.
Desert & Mountain
Pickup Truck

4
AutoA pickup truck is a natural fit for day trips to Joshua Tree National Park or Big Bear Lake. Higher ground clearance copes with dusty desert tracks and the occasional snowy pass, while the open bed easily swallows hiking kit, coolers and souvenirs. Auto gears and four-wheel drive take the stress out, all within two hours of Anaheim.

Pick Up Near Your Flight For Maximum Convenience
Airport and nearby airport-area rental centres typically offer longer opening hours, more vehicle choice, and easier same-day availability—handy after a long flight from the UK. Expect well-signed shuttle or on-site facilities, quicker access to motorways, and better support for late arrivals, although prices and taxes can be higher than off-airport branches.

Popular Day Trips:
Laguna Beach Art And Coast Day
A laid-back coastal escape with coves, scenic viewpoints and galleries—great for a beach walk, lunch with a view and a sunset drive back.
Los Angeles Highlights (Downtown + Griffith Observatory)
Pick a few neighbourhoods rather than trying to do it all: skyline viewpoints, cultural stops and an evening panorama from Griffith Observatory.
Palm Springs Aerial Tramway And Mid-Century Style
An easy desert day with mountain views, modern architecture, warm-weather dining and a quick reset from the coast.
Temecula Valley Wine Country
Rolling vineyards, tasting rooms and relaxed countryside roads—best enjoyed with a designated driver and a pre-booked tasting plan.
Car Hire Planning Tips For Anaheim
Check Licence And ID Requirements: Bring a valid driving licence and a second form of ID. If your licence is not in English, consider carrying an International Driving Permit alongside your original licence.
Understand Insurance Before You Collect: Confirm what is included (collision damage waiver, theft cover, liability) and what is not. Check excess amounts and consider whether your card or travel policy already provides cover.
Plan Around Peak Traffic: Congestion is common around I-5, SR-91 and routes into Los Angeles. If possible, leave early, avoid weekday rush hours and build buffer time for attractions with timed entry.
Fuel Strategy: Full-To-Full Usually Saves Money: Full-to-full is typically the most cost-effective. Take a quick photo of the fuel gauge at pick-up and refuel near the return location to avoid premium on-site prices.
Budget For Parking: Beach towns and major city areas often have paid parking and strict time limits. Use official car parks where possible and read signage carefully to avoid fines and towing.
Use Navigation With Real-Time Updates: Real-time traffic routing helps in Southern California. Download offline maps as backup in case of poor reception in desert or mountain areas.
Document The Car At Collection And Return: Walk around the vehicle, photograph existing marks, and ensure they are noted on the agreement. Repeat the photos when you return the car, including fuel level and mileage.
