I had an amazing experience renting this 2015 BMW 320i for a week. The host was fantastic — communication was clear, fast, and very professional from the start. He even called ahead of time to walk us through the pickup process without us having to ask, which made everything super smooth. The car itself was immaculate and clearly very well cared for. It ran beautifully the entire trip and was an absolute pleasure to drive. It also turned a lot of heads and we got several compliments on it during the week. Overall, this was a perfect rental experience and I would absolutely rent from this host again. Highly recommend!

Rent a car and explore Redlands, CA

Things to do and places to see in Redlands, CA

Redlands has the type of Mediterranean climate that once made it the Washington Navel Orange Growing Capital of the World. Moreover, its central setting with only an hour or so to Palm Springs or Los Angeles positions it as a base for exploring Southern California at its best. Of course, you don’t have to head to the other areas to explore beautiful regions and noteworthy tourist destinations. When a car rental on Turo is included in your plans, it’s easy to explore them all.

Redlands, CA

Smiley Park Historic District

With Smiley Park at its center, the District is south of downtown Redlands. In December 1994, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Nestled between Brookside and Cypress Avenues, it is the predominant showcase of its initial building period, which began around 1886 and ended during the 1913 citrus freeze. Breathtakingly beautiful Victorian homes are complemented by American Craftsman-style designs. While there, visit the Lincoln Memorial Shrine located in the District. It features immersive displays of Civil War photographs and excerpts from the famous Federal Writers Project.

Historical Glass Museum

Pencil in the Glass Museum on Orange Street for a weekend visit. As you walk along the shelves, you travel back in time to when flint glass, whale oil lamps, and Paden City glassware could be found in local homes. Displays change all the time. But what remains static is the beauty of pieces such as a 1890s fan plate with tab handle or a 1915 Fenton goblet in the Sailboats pattern.

Redlands Umbrella Alley

At the beginning of each summer, the 420 umbrellas covering the alley are replaced. As a result, the whimsical effect also impresses with bold colors. Along the alley and nearby street, you have an opportunity to try some of the best cuisine Redlands has to offer. Examples include Southern food at Martha Green’s Eating Room, traditional Irish food and ambiance at The Three Stags, and the Copehouse Bar & Bistro, which is as famous for its unique cocktails as it is for its Wagyu Burger.

Redlands car rentals for any occasion

purple lines

Sightseeing car rental

Enjoy the Kimberly Crest House and Gardens, spend some time at the Lincoln Memorial Shrine, and explore downtown Redlands with the convenience of a car. When you tire of walking, you don’t have to wait for public transportation. If you learn of another sightseeing opportunity at one of the places you visit, head there in your car. Travel in style in a sports car, such as a Ferrari F8 Spider or Lamborghini Huracán.

Shopping trip car rental

When shopping is on the agenda, you need a large trunk to store your finds. The downtown State Street District is ideal for exploring art galleries and specialty shops. For the foodie, the Redlands Public Market and its vendors are a must–see. If you love to mall hop, you cannot go wrong with Citrus Plaza, the Mountain Grove Shopping Center, or the Redlands Town Center. A Mercedes-Benz E-Class has ample trunk space for your finds.

Hiking trip car rental

Hiking in Redlands is a favorite pastime. With so much natural beauty surrounding you, do not be left out! First-time hikers will love Caroline Park on Chaparral Drive. For an immersive experience, the San Timoteo Nature Sanctuary and its Carriage Trail are ideal. Of course, after hiking for more than five miles, do you really want to wait for a bus? Of course not! A Tesla Model 3 with an optional child safety seat is an excellent choice for hikers with young children.

Purple squiggle

San Bernardino International Airport (SBD)

The airport car rental counter is not the only way to rent a car near picturesque Redlands. The San Bernardino International Airport is a central location in the Inland Empire and ideally suited for picking up the vehicle your Turo host left for you. Parking is as inexpensive as $5 per day, and your host will leave the parking ticket in the car, allowing you to exit the lot with ease.

Redlands Downtown Train Station

Today, commuters travel by Metrolink’s Arrow. In 1910, when the station was constructed, it served as a hub for the Santa Fe Railway. To the north of the historic station, you find a four-level parking structure that is centrally located for picking up your car. Best of all, you can hit the road from there to begin your sightseeing tour of the area.

Burrage Mansion Parking Lot

The mansion could be a gorgeous beginning point for your Redlands sightseeing. Validated parking makes it easy to pick up the vehicle your host left for you. If you are traveling with children, consider this pick-up point because they can burn off some energy racing on the picnic green.

Top tips for renting a car in Redlands


What does it take to rent a car in Redlands? Travelers ready to buckle up and explore the area will love the closeness of the sightseeing spots. Most importantly, you are not subject to a public transportation schedule. Sure, there are the green Omnitrans buses, but do you really want to go shopping and then transport your finds on a crowded bus? Of course not! Book a car on Turo and you travel in comfort.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Redlands?


The city recently lowered its roadway speed limits to 55 MPH. Following occasional rainfall, there may be flooding or mudflows. Dearborn Street usually has very little traffic, while Redlands Boulevard experiences high traffic volumes daily. Avoid traffic by checking parallel streets such as Olive Avenue rather than Brookside Avenue.


What is parking like in Redlands?


It is easier to find parking before 11 a.m. and after 1 p.m. Parking structures are located on Citrus Avenue and North 5th Street. State Street public parking tends to get crowded, so it's best to look for side streets.


Are there toll roads in Redlands?


While there are no toll roads in the City of Redlands, the nearby freeways are a different story. For example, the I-10 express lanes near Redlands run from the I-15 interchange. If your itinerary takes you farther out to Riverside or Corona, be prepared to pay tolls on the I-15 and SR 91 express lanes. For travelers with a FasTrak account, payment is easy. All others need to be aware that they will receive a bill.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Redlands?


There are plenty of gas stations featuring the brands you love. Examples include Shell, ARCO, and 76. There are also Circle K locations. When you need charging stations, networks such as Tesla and EVgo are available. There are some 90 dedicated charging stations for drivers, some of which include DC Fast Chargers. Look for Tesla at the Redlands Downtown Public Garage and EVgo stations at the Tri-City Shopping Center. Other charging stations are found on East State Street, Mountain Grove, and Alabama Street.


Do I need to rent a car in Redlands?


For the traveler wanting to experience Redlands on their terms, a car rental makes it possible. Although many sightseeing opportunities are fairly close together, public transportation will cut into your schedule and may not take you exactly where you want to go. Most importantly, when traveling with children, you will appreciate the freedom a car offers you on your trip.

What kind of license do I need to rent a car on Turo?

Turo accepts valid licenses (not expired, suspended, or revoked) that allow for full driving privileges; this includes driver’s licenses issued outside of the US.

How does car rental insurance work on Turo?

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. 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.

What rental car types are there in Redlands?

Redlands’ local hosts on Turo have the right vehicle for any occasion. A Chevy Corvette, a sports car, might only seat two, but if that is the number of your traveling party, you can hit the road in style. For a traveling family, a Hyundai Elantra, a compact sedan seating five, could be the right choice. If you want to bask in the sun that Redlands is famous for, a BMW M4, a luxury convertible car, is the ride you’ll love.

How do I contact my host about my rental car once I have booked?

You can contact your host through the Turo app after you have booked your car. This is a great way to ask any questions or discuss details about your trip.

* 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.

The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
