Car was perfect for my week stay in LA. Host greeted me at the car and was very nice and respectful. Car was extremely clean. Was a little on the rough side with the acceleration but overall would rent again. A HUGH PLUS is that it is flex fuel so that was a major help with the high gas prices in LA. Do not skip on this car rent it for the fuel savings, price, and host!

Ford Mustang 1968

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable experience and the highlight of my 50th birthday trip! I recently celebrated my 50th birthday in America, and hiring Barry’s beautiful 1968 Ford Mustang was one of the absolute highlights of the entire trip. From the moment I saw it, I knew I’d made the right choice. By the end of the rental, it was a car I genuinely didn’t want to give back. First, Barry himself deserves enormous credit. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. As a mechanic with a real passion for classic cars, he knows this Mustang inside out, and it shows. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered every question I had, and made sure I felt completely comfortable before setting off. His enthusiasm is infectious, and you can tell he genuinely cares about both the car and the people who rent it. As for the Mustang - what can I say? It looks spectacular, sounds incredible, and turns heads wherever it goes. Everywhere we stopped, people came over to admire it, ask questions, and reminisce. It really is a rolling piece of American history. What impressed me most was how well it drove. The automatic gearbox makes it wonderfully relaxed and easy to enjoy, whether you’re cruising along the Pacific Coast Highway or driving through town. It changes gears smoothly, allowing you to soak up the unmistakable V8 soundtrack without constantly thinking about shifting. It’s exactly how a classic American muscle car should feel - effortless, comfortable, and full of character. Despite being nearly 60 years old, it’s equipped with modern conveniences, including remote central locking, Bluetooth and seatbelts oh and wing mirrors 😉. Of course, it still has charming period features like manual windows, but that’s all part of the authentic 1968 Mustang experience. You don’t rent this car expecting modern luxury; you rent it because you want to experience an icon, and this car delivers that in every possible way. If you’re considering booking this Mustang, don’t hesitate. Treat it with the respect it deserves, appreciate it for the classic it is, and you’ll have an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Barry, for helping make my 50th birthday so special. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in America. Top man. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 1974

An unforgettable day with an amazing 1974 Corvette Stingray! We had an absolutely fantastic experience renting Barry’s 1974 Corvette Stingray. We picked up the car in Long Beach and set off on an incredible road trip through Los Angeles: Hollywood, Mulholland Drive, Beverly Hills, the Beverly Hills Hotel, Rodeo Drive, Sunset Boulevard, Malibu, and finally the winding roads of Latigo Canyon before heading back to Long Beach. The Corvette was the perfect car for this journey: beautiful, full of character, and an absolute pleasure to drive. We enjoyed every single mile! But what made the experience even better was meeting Barry. He is a genuine car enthusiast, incredibly friendly and generous. He told us in the morning to enjoy the car and drive as much as we wanted, and despite our long road trip, he didn’t charge us for the extra mileage. Barry works on his cars himself: he even replaced the Corvette’s engine. And you can immediately feel his passion. We also had a great conversation about his Mustang, his next project, and which classic American cars Europeans would love to rent in California. If you love cars, don’t just rent Barry’s Corvette: meet Barry and enjoy the whole experience. It was one of the highlights of our stay in Los Angeles. Thank you, Barry! We had an unforgettable day and would do it again without hesitation. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Renting Millie from Charlotte was the best Turo experience I've had so far. Charlotte is an amazing hostess, super flexible and accommodating, and her Mini Cooper S was stellar, in near new condition, impeccably maintained and detailed. It was a fun car to cruise around OC in and I cannot wait to return and rent from her again. I highly recommend her and her car if you are in the LA/OC area and need a fun and stylish ride to cruise around in.

The car was super clean and drove great. Lisa is a fabulous host and walked me through all the gadgets in the car before she let me go and I arrived late. She still took the time and I appreciate her greatly. Best way to travel in Cali with the price of gas. We went up and down the PCH for less than 40.00 for the charging. Ill be sure to contact her when I come back!

Top tips for renting a car in Long Beach


Soak up the salty air of Long Beach and spend all of your time relaxing by brushing up on California's road rules before you visit. Here are our top tips for picking up and returning your rental car, as well as driving, parking, and fueling up in Long Beach.


How does airport pickup work at Long Beach Airport?


Want to know how to pick up your car rental? Long Beach Airport collection is easy. After booking the rental car of your choice, use the Turo app to arrange a nearby collection spot once you've landed. After you grab your bags at baggage claim, head to the agreed location, unlock the car with the app, and you're ready to start your adventure.


Popular pickup spots near the airport include Reservoir Park, which is ideal if you want to refuel or grab a snack nearby before hitting the road. The Walmart Supercenter is perfect for travelers who would like to stock up on essentials or even just grab a snack. For those staying in the area or arriving in the evening, Signal Hill is a quieter location away from the hustle and bustle.


How does drop-off work at Long Beach Airport?


Forget about the chaotic rental car counter returns. When it's time to return your car on Turo, simply head back to the same location or another nearby spot coordinated with your host. Park, snap your return photos, lock the vehicle, and send the location details through the app. Some hosts may meet you for a quick handoff, which makes the process even simpler and more convenient.


How far is Long Beach Airport from Downtown Long Beach?


Long Beach Airport is approximately 6.6 miles from Downtown Long Beach. The drive typically takes around 25 minutes, which makes it a quick and easy cruise to the city center.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Long Beach?


Driving in Long Beach is beautiful, but it can also be very busy. Heavy traffic during rush hours and on freeways like the Long Beach Freeway makes it essential to stay vigilant and plan your route before heading out. Truck traffic is also something to be aware of when you're driving on the Long Beach Freeway, as Long Beach is a busy port city. Long Beach doesn't experience your typical rush hours, with some traffic congestion lasting all day. Allow extra time to get to your destination - and it doesn't hurt to put a good podcast on to keep you company in the traffic!


As always, adhere to local speed limits, wear a seatbelt, and only operate your phone hands-free while driving.


What is parking like in Long Beach?


If you're trying to find a park for your rental car in Downtown Long Beach or near the waterfront, finding a spot can be challenging. Long Beach has limited parking spaces, and can get very busy due to special events and tourists. You can find paid metered spaces in downtown, Belmont Shore, and the Pike. It's handy to get in early to find a parking space, so allow extra time for finding a park before you start your exploration. If you're just popping into a shop to grab something, there is free parking in the City Place lots downtown, but these lots have restrictions on parking times.


Are there toll roads in Long Beach?


Yes, there are toll roads in Long Beach. The 405 Freeway has toll lanes that run from Long Beach to Costa Mesa. You can find more information on fees on the Long Beach website.


Where can I find gas stations and EV chargers in Long Beach?


Long Beach has ample gas stations for you to keep your adventure fueled. Pump your gas at the ARCO on Long Beach Boulevard, the Vons Fuel Station on Ximeno Avenue, or the United Oil on Long Beach Boulevard.


If you're driving an electric vehicle, charge up at the EVgo Charging Station on Atlantic Avenue, the EVgo Charging Station on East Pacific Coast Highway, or the 7Charge Charging Station on East Anaheim Street.


Do I need to rent a car in Long Beach?


Yes, we definitely recommend renting a car in Long Beach. While it can be possible to explore the city without a car, having a rental car offers convenience and flexibility to visit the surrounding areas. If you're planning on exploring nearby attractions like Los Angeles or Disneyland, renting a car makes it easy to get to these locations at your own pace. Work to your own schedule, stop for snacks, and experience the freedom that having a rental car can give you with Turo.


What rental car types can I find on Turo in Long Beach?
