Top tips for renting a car in Huntington Beach


Huntington Beach is an iconic Californian destination, and you'll want all the time in the world to soak up the ocean views and beach experience. It's best to brush up on your Californian road rules so you can focus on exploring. Here are our top tips for driving, parking, and fueling up in Huntington Beach.


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


Driving in Huntington Beach is pretty relaxed, but there are a few things to keep in mind. The Pacific Coast Highway runs right along the beach, and while the views are amazing, the traffic can be slow, especially when there's an amazing sunset. Beach Boulevard is another major road that connects inland areas to the coast, and it gets pretty packed during rush hour.

In summer, the whole city gets busier, especially near the pier and downtown area. If there's a surfing competition or a car show, traffic can be very heavy. Stay vigilant of pedestrians, always adhere to local speed limits, and operate your phone hands-free.


What is parking like in Huntington Beach?


Parking near the beach can be difficult on weekends and holidays. There are paid lots on Garfield St, but they fill up fast, so try to get in early. Street parking is available on Main Street, but make sure you check signage - some areas require permits, especially in residential zones near the coast.


Are there toll roads in Huntington Beach?


There are no toll roads in Huntington Beach, but if you're driving outside of the city, there are toll roads nearby in Orange County. The SR-73 connects Huntington Beach to Laguna Beach, so if you're heading to this beach, be mindful of tolls. Also, keep an eye out for nearby toll roads include the 405 Express Lanes as well as 133, 241 and 261 toll roads.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Huntington Beach?


Yes, there are plenty of gas stations and EV chargers in Huntington Beach. Fuel up at ARCO on Goldenwest Street or one of the two ARCOs on Beach Boulevard.

If you've rented an electric vehicle, you can charge up at the EVGo or Electric Vehicle Charging Stations on Beach Boulevard, or the EVGo station on Brookhurst Street if you want to avoid the beach crowds.


Do I need to rent a car in Huntington Beach?


If you want to explore beyond Huntington Beach and the pier, we definitely recommend renting a car. If you want to take the Pacific Coast Highway to Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, or even Disneyland, renting a car means you can road-trip on your schedule. Having a rental car means you can explore Orange County or LA without any hassle, ensuring you can maximize your time in California.

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.*

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive.

We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
