I’ll definitely be back to rent from them again ! I’ll most definitely recommend this to my friends and family.

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. Its central setting makes it a base for exploring Southern California, with Palm Springs and Los Angeles each about an hour away and Yucaipa just minutes east. You don't have to leave town to find beautiful regions and noteworthy destinations, though — when a car rental on Turo is part of 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, and the whimsical effect impresses with bold colors. Along the alley and nearby street, you can 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 and Bistro, known as much for its Wagyu Burger as for its inventive menu.

San Bernardino International Airport (SBD)

The airport car rental counter is not the only way to rent a car near picturesque Redlands. San Bernardino International Airport sits centrally in the Inland Empire and is ideally suited for picking up your car. If you're flying into a larger hub, you can also pick up a car at LA/Ontario International Airport, roughly 30 minutes west. Parking at SBD can be as low as $5 per day, and the parking ticket is left in the car so you can 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.

Best of all, you can start your sightseeing tour of the area right from there.

Burrage Mansion Parking Lot

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