Discover California with a rental car

California is one of the most versatile states in the USA. With a rental car, you can easily combine vibrant cities, stunning coastlines, deserts, and national parks.

  • Visit Los Angeles for Hollywood, museums, and beaches like Santa Monica

  • Discover San Francisco with the Golden Gate Bridge and Fisherman’s Wharf

  • Drive along the famous Pacific Coast Highway with stops in Big Sur and Monterey

  • Experience natural wonders in Yosemite National Park and Sequoia National Park

  • Explore the vineyards of Napa Valley and Sonoma

  • Take a desert road trip to Palm Springs or Death Valley

California is often the starting or ending point of a road trip through the western United States. When choosing your rental car, take into account what else you might encounter along the way. The highways in California are well maintained, but traffic can be heavy around large cities. Roads in national or state parks may be unpaved. Therefore, choose the rental car that best suits your travel plans. If you need help with this, please feel free to contact one of our experienced colleagues.

Travel with peace of mind

With Alamo.nl, all rentals include damage, theft, and liability insurance, plus unlimited mileage. During booking, you can easily add extras such as GPS, a child seat, or additional coverage. For the United States, you can also choose the Gold Package or Gold Underage Package, which offer benefits like a second driver and a full tank of fuel.

One-way car rental in California

In the US, you can return your rental car to a different location than where you picked it up. For example, you can start your trip in San Francisco and end it in Los Angeles or San Diego. It is also possible to return the car to a different state. If you stay within California, there are usually no drop-off fees, with a few exceptions. A one-way trip to Las Vegas, for example, is usually free of charge. Information about the drop-off fees is provided when you look up the price. If nothing is listed, then there are no fees.
