San Diego
This southernmost stretch of coastline is all about outdoor fun for adventurers and sun seekers alike. To take advantage of your car rental in California, we recommend that you:
Los Angeles
Yes, the "City of Angels" is famous for its bright lights, shopping hot spots, incredible museums, and A-list celebrities. However, for those who just arrived to LAX and are looking for authentic experiences in LA, renting a car with Sixt allows you to drive like a local and create your own itinerary, so you can:
You can find all different temperatures and things to do in California in winter. The coastal Mediterranean climate means it never gets really cold unless you head to the mountains. Winter is the best time to visit the deserts of southern California like Death Valley National Park or Joshua Tree. The beaches of Los Angeles and San Diego beckon even in the cooler weather. You can catch some sun, although perhaps not in a swimsuit, and do some surfing. Northern California will only have temps in the 50s or 60s, but you can still visit San Francisco and its variety of museums, or see the redwood forests like Lady Bird Johnson Grove. Head to the Sierra and Southern Cascade mountains including in Yosemite National Park for some great skiing and snowboarding. Basically, no matter what kind of weather you want in the winter, California has it. Just be sure to rent an all-wheel-drive vehicle and ask about winter tire and ski rack availability if you plan to head to the mountains.
