Alyson was an amazing host from start to finish. The Mercedes E350 was super clean, smooth to drive, and honestly looked even better in person. Pickup and drop-off were easy, communication was quick, and the whole process felt seamless. The car rides extremely comfortably but still has plenty of power, and it’s perfect whether you need something classy for a night out, business trip, or just cruising around town. You can tell Alyson really takes care of her vehicle. Definitely one of the best Turo experiences I’ve had. I’d book with her again without hesitation.

Top tips for renting a car in Long Beach


Long Beach is easy to drive, with wide roads and quick access to the I-405 and Pacific Coast Highway. Before you get behind the wheel, here are a few helpful things to know before hitting the road.


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


Driving in Long Beach is relatively straightforward, but like most California cities, you'll want to stay alert for cyclists, pedestrians, and occasional one-way streets downtown. Stick to posted speed limits (usually 25-35 mph in city areas) and watch for beachgoers crossing near Ocean Blvd or Naples Island.


What is parking like in Long Beach?


Parking is generally easy to find in most neighborhoods. Downtown Long Beach and the waterfront tend to have metered spots and paid parking garages, particularly on weekends and during events. For beach days, public lots and street parking are available near Ocean Blvd. Aim to arrive early for the best spots.


Are there toll roads in Long Beach?


Long Beach itself is toll-free, so you can explore the city without worry. But if you're driving toward Orange County, San Diego, or using express lanes on LA-area freeways like the 91, tolls may apply. Most tolls use electronic billing through systems like FasTrak. If your rental car isn't already registered, check with your host or plan ahead with a pay-by-plate option to avoid extra fees.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Long Beach?


Yes, the city is well-equipped with gas stations and electric vehicle charging stations. You'll find EV chargers near downtown, along Long Beach Boulevard, and at major shopping centers. If you're booking an EV rental, plan ahead using apps like PlugShare or ChargePoint.


Do I need to rent a car in Long Beach?


While downtown is walkable and there are light rail options to parts of LA, having wheels in Long Beach gives you the freedom to explore more of the Southern CA coastline, nearby attractions like Knott's Berry Farm, or even take a day trip in the sun down the Pacific Coast Highway. It's a great idea for travelers who want more flexibility or are planning to visit multiple beach towns.

How does car rental insurance work 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.*

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

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. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. 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.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
