Gas stations are located along Century Boulevard, Sepulveda Boulevard, and Lincoln Boulevard within a short drive of the airport terminals.

Most freeways around LAX are toll-free, including the 405, 10, and 110 freeways that connect the airport to downtown and surrounding areas. Express lanes on some sections of the 405 and 10 freeways charge tolls for faster travel during peak hours. Your rental car from Los Angeles International Airport can access these express lanes if equipped with a FasTrak transponder.

No, you don't need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo. In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host's vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. When booking a car in the US, you'll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that's right for you. On each trip, you're covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.* In New York state, you'll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you're covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.* Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.

The Pacific Coast Highway offers stunning ocean views as you drive north through Santa Monica, Malibu, and beyond to Central California.

Your rental car opens up possibilities for exploring Burbank studios, Long Beach attractions, or scenic drives through the Santa Monica Mountains.

California requires all passengers to wear seat belts, and cell phone use while driving must be hands-free for drivers over 18. Right turns on red lights are permitted after coming to a complete stop unless posted signs prohibit it. Los Angeles airport rental cars must follow HOV lane requirements during designated hours on major freeways.

Exit LAX via Century Boulevard and connect to Interstate 405 North, then merge onto Interstate 10 East toward downtown Los Angeles.
