Recent Long Beach, car rental reviews
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!
Kush was flexible and kind. Making the pickup and last minute car rental process easy!

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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Host was the best. He checked to see how was my trip coming along. Car location was easy to find. Check in and out was easy and smooth. I will use Ryan any time. He was very helpful when changing trip. Thanks again.
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.
Renting this car was a great experience.The car was clean, well-maintained, and drove smoothly the entire trip. It had plenty of power while still being comfortable for both city driving and longer drives. Pickup and drop-off were easy, and the host was friendly and responsive. I’d definitely rent this car again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, reliable, and stylish ride.
Clean, easy and amazing car rental service. Would rent again from Chung. Car was a blast to drive. Really satisfied! Thank You so much for the rental!
What an experience! Barry was an absolute legend. Super easy to deal with, fantastic communication and made the whole process seamless from start to finish. As an Australian, I've always dreamed of driving a classic Mustang through California and this car made that dream a reality. She was absolutely stunning and an absolute joy to drive. What really surprised me was how smooth and comfortable she felt on the road. Barry has clearly put a huge amount of care and work into the car and it shows. I've driven plenty of old classics and Land Cruisers back home in Australia that felt far more temperamental, but this Mustang drove beautifully and inspired confidence from the moment I got behind the wheel. Cruising the Californian highways with the windows down was honestly one of the highlights of my trip. Thanks Barry for sharing such a special car and helping create a memory I'll never forget.
Absolutely great trip and very clean car. Clear instructions and great price. When I return to Southern California will definitely use this host again.
Oleksii thank you! Your car ran great, very clean, and easy pickup and easy drop off. I will for sure rent from you again!
Everything with this trip went great. There was an issue with the original car, and I was offered the Mini in its place. Drove great, easy pickup and drop off, and communication was always fast and responsive. Thumbs up! 👍🏻
The car was perfect for my trip, I drove it about 200 miles with no issues
Thank you Sebastian! It was a pleasure to rent your car! Great car and wonderful host!

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.
