Orange County car rentals

For the best experience in Orange County, get yourself your own set of wheels to explore the natural beauty and serenity of this peaceful paradise. There are many benefits of an Orange County car rental. First, you enjoy the freedom to plan your own trip. Unlike the strict and rigid public bus, a rental car allows you to move at your own pace, stopping and starting whenever and wherever you want. An Orange County car rental also offers you a comfortable and convenient experience. Thinking of traveling in style? We have a convertible with your name on it. Is the family coming along? A full-size SUV with plenty of seating and storage room should do the trick. Finally, a rental car gives you the everyday pleasures we enjoy so much, including air conditioning, GPS, Bluetooth, and great entertainment systems.

Here are a few things to keep in mind before hitting the road in your Orange County rental car. Speed limits are strictly enforced in Orange County, so ensure you’re driving within the limit. The maximum speed limit in urban areas is 55 mph. This reduces to 25 mph in business and residential districts and 15 mph in alleyways and school zones. Be patient and yield to pedestrians even if they’re crossing the road illegally. If you encounter one with flashing lights, yield or slow down and move one lane over from the one adjacent to the emergency team if possible. In Orange County, distracted driving is a serious offense, so only use your phone if it’s in hands-free mode. Remain alert and watch out for motorcycles since they can share the lane with you in Orange County.

You need to be at least twenty one to qualify for a rental car in most car rental locations in Orange County. You’ll be required to have your valid driver’s license and credit card in your name before you’re allowed to book a rental. Nonetheless, there’s a daily surcharge on young drivers, drivers between twenty one and twenty four. Also, young drivers cannot rent certain vehicle classes in Orange County car rentals, such as passenger and commercial vans, signature vehicles, exotic and luxury rentals, and full-size and premium SUVs.
