When you book a California car rental with SIXT, you will be able to safely and comfortably explore the famous Golden State. No matter what your preferences and budget are, we have something in our fleet that will suit your needs. Whether you plan on exploring the bustling city of Los Angeles, the hills of San Francisco, or the beaches of San Diego, a SIXT California car rental will help you to do so in style. A convertible is a chic choice that will allow you to soak up some Southern California sunshine, while a compact car will make it easy to navigate busy city streets. Pick your car up from LAX, San Francisco Airport, San Diego Airport, San Jose Airport, or one of our many downtown branches.
From economy models to luxury vehicles, SIXT has it all. Our fleet is filled with a variety of car categories to choose from, including sedans, SUVs, minivans, pickups, sports cars, convertibles and passenger vans. When you rent a car in California, you can also choose some bookable extras to further customize your experience, such as an additional driver or child seats. While a one-day rental is a convenient option for a beach day, a weekly rental is a good choice if you will be going on a longer road trip.
As California is known for having sunshine and beautiful weather during the summer months, make sure to take advantage of this by spending some time outside. Yosemite National Park is a great place to go if you enjoy hiking, while the Santa Monica Pier is a fun outdoor area filled with games, rides, and yummy food.
