Recent Fullerton, CA car rental reviews
Fady and the car were amazing! Car had no issues during our road trip and was a smooth ride. I would definitely rent the car again and recommend it to my friends and family if they were ever needing a car rental. Getting the car was easy and accessible. Returning it was also the same. I will definitely be looking at Fady’s selection of cars in the future!
Chan is amazing and super responsive. Highly recommend. I was super pleased to find that there is a multi-port charger already in the car with type c and lightning and USB-C inputs and outputs AND standard USB port as well as a really great hands-free stand for the phone. I took this on a quick business trip and My peak of gas mileage was 52 MPG. Can't beat that! I will definitely rent again
It was great I loved how my trip went and how easy it was to add an extra day person was so kind and patient with me the car was clean great on gas and when I had questions the replied fast I would definitely rent again if they allow me to saving as my favorite 😍
I had an absolutely amazing experience renting from Ryan’s Cars! From start to finish, the process was smooth, convenient, and stress-free. One of the biggest highlights for me was being able to pick up the vehicle in the early morning hours (between 1–2 AM). That level of flexibility and 24-hour pickup availability made my travel plans so much easier and really shows how accommodating this rental service is. The Toyota Camry I rented was spotless, well-maintained, and extremely fuel-efficient. Gas mileage was excellent, which saved me money throughout my trip. The car drove beautifully — smooth handling, comfortable ride, and it truly glided on the road. You can tell the vehicle is properly cared for and regularly serviced. What really sets this car rental apart is not just the quality of the vehicle, but the outstanding customer service. Ryan was an incredible host — professional, friendly, responsive, and very understanding. He made the entire experience seamless and welcoming. It’s rare to find that combination of affordability and top-tier service. Speaking of affordability, the pricing was unbeatable. Compared to other rental options available, this was by far the best value. The rate was something I simply couldn’t pass up, especially considering the condition of the car and the excellent service provided. I had a fantastic trip using the Camry, and I highly recommend Ryan’s Cars to anyone looking for a reliable, affordable, and convenient car rental. I will definitely be booking again for my next trip in a couple of months. Thank you so much, Ryan! I truly appreciate everything. Love this car and love the experience!
Everything went as smooth as can be. The owner was always available to help and even helped us with extending our reservation. Hassle free and very detailed with instructions. Would highly recommend and use again!
Great experience renting this Mazda through Turo. The car was super clean, drove smoothly, and was great on gas. Pickup and drop-off were easy, and the host was communicative and professional throughout the trip. The Mazda was comfortable, reliable, and perfect for getting around town and longer drives. Would definitely rent again!
The car was amazing! I was genuinely surprised to see it had only 100 miles on it—it was literally a brand-new vehicle. One of the best experiences I’ve ever had on Turo, and this was my second time renting from them. The entire process was smooth, and the vehicle exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended, and I will definitely rent from them again
What an AMAZING CAR!! Sam was the best host!! He did everything he could to make our trip a wonderful success! Thank you for all you did! And this car!! So fun to drive. Incredibly clean! And just perfect!!
Super friendly, and came through for me. I had an issue with a previous host who forgot about my reservation, and within like an hour's notice, was able to get this car. Thank you so much for saving my trip!

Very awesome car to drive. Just a spectacular trip up the coast of CA with the top down and ocean air! Moe was an excellent host and went out of his way to work around our schedules for pickup and drop off. Highly recommend this car and Moe for any of your Turo needs. 5 stars!!!
The car was awesome - gets super great gas mileage - pickup and drop off was smooth- easy to find - the host has excellent communication and responds very quickly every time - always willing to help out with everything and pleasant throughout the entire experience- thank you once again for another great trip!!

What are the road rules and driving conditions in Fullerton?
The rules of the road (like speed limits, right-of-way, traffic signs, and lights) should be familiar to any driver within the US, and Fullerton doesn't have very many quirks or unusual laws or ordinances. Follow the speed limits and posted signs, and you'll have no issues.
The Los Angeles area is notorious for its traffic, and traffic in Fullerton can be heavy at times. As with most areas around the country, rush hour tends to be the worst, and if you're able to plan your driving times to miss rush hour, it will save you a little time and hassle and make your experience more enjoyable.
What is parking like in Fullerton?
In downtown Fullerton, be prepared to pay for parking, as most parking spaces are metered street parking or paid parking garages. You may be able to find free parking in residential areas, though be sure to check the signage to make sure you're parking during valid times.
