Cheap car rentals in Lake Elsinore
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lake Elsinore
- Driving car rentals in Lake Elsinore is an excellent way to get around this city located in the western part of Riverside County in Southern California. Lake Elsinore car rentals will allow you to get to your appointments on time, visit people according to your own schedule, and see local sites, including Lake Elsinore itself, the Temecula Valley Museum, and Los Pinos Peak. Car rentals in Lake Elsinore also give you the freedom to drive east to Joshua Tree National Park, northeast to Las Vegas, or south to San Diego.
- Located about 90 miles northwest of Lake Elsinore, the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) makes a convenient place for securing a rental car when you fly in to visit Lake Elsinore. In order to easily access the off-site car rental agencies, deplaning passengers should go to the arrivals curb and wait under the purple sign for Rental Car Shuttles, located on the traffic island. If you need a GPS or a child safety seat along with your rental car, it is advisable to mention this when you make your reservation to help make sure that what you need is available when you arrive at your LAX car rental location.
- The streets of Lake Elsinore are wide and well maintained. You can depend on congested traffic every weekday from about 6:30 am to 10 am and 3:30 pm to 7 pm. You might want to add-on a GPS device in order to help you navigate around traffic snarls in a hands-free manner. Lake Elsinore is populated by many families, so drive with caution, on the lookout for children darting into the road, around schools, parks, and family restaurant parking lots.
- One of the biggest challenges those driving car rentals in Lake Elsinore will face Is the hectic way people tend to drive on the massive Southern California freeways, often four or five lanes wide on either side. Drivers swerve in and out of traffic lanes at any given opportunity, often without using a turn signal. When it is not rush hour, the traffic moves incredibly fast on both sides of you, and it can be disconcerting at first if you are not used to it. Drive with caution, and if you're driving more slowly than most traffic, stay in the right-hand lanes. You can use your navigation device to find a route to your destination that does not include freeways If you feel uncomfortable driving on them.

Gabby, Nov 2020
Pros:
The vehicle was nice. Not the expected rental but it fit everything we had to make it back to Texas with.Cons:
The service picking up the vehicle could have been a lot better. Only one person working because everyone else was at lunch or “called in”. A warning before renting needs to be advertised about a major credit card is needed to rent anything over a full-size vehicle and that they do a soft credit check, needing at least a 650 to rent the vehicle. This wasn’t known until we got there. Thankfully things worked out but we had to downsize the vehicle because I don’t carry a credit card. Returning the vehicle was easy and great. It was just picking the vehicle up that made this experience so bad.4.4 Mediocre
