KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Glendale

  • Renting a car on your visit to Glendale comes with a wide array of benefits. For instance, you’ll be able to make multiple stops at sites such as Brand Park and Alex Theatre, travel at off hours around the city, and take a trip in remote and out-of-the-way places like hilltop views, Glendale waterfalls, and more. Opting for a ride from Glendale car rentals gives you more freedom to comfortably visit these places or go to nearby cities such as San Marino and Burbank.
  • Glendale offers a variety of car rental services, most of which are located in or near airports. Bob Hope Airport is the closest to the city, about seven miles from the central business district. Some of the car rentals in Glendale at the rental car center located on the second floor include Enterprise, Hertz, Avis, Budget, and Thrifty. It’ll take you 10min from the main terminal to the second car rental counters. If the pickup location is on a nearby site, the rental cars offer bus shuttle services that’ll drop you at the pickup location where you can pick your vehicle and begin your adventure in the city.
  • Like in major cities, distracted driving is a major cause of accidents in Glendale. Before starting your journey, ensure everything is in order, from the navigation system to your seat’s inclination. This way, you’ll be able to solely concentrate on the road and pay extra attention to the large volume of traffic while maneuvering through the multi-lane highways, busy streets, and U-turns, especially if you are not familiar with the city’s street directions.
  • Driving on Glendale’s streets and highways can be fun when the roads have less traffic. However, heavy traffic during rush hours can derail your journey for about 15min to 45min (morning rush hour is between 7am-10 am, it then resumes at about 5:30pm-7:30pm). For this, give yourself extra time to leave for your desired destination before rush hour or wait until the roads are less congested. If you have to travel during these hours, try to avoid Bell Rd, Scottsdale Rd, Scottsdale, or 44th St since they are known to be clogged with an increased volume of vehicles. You can opt for 91st Ave, Lower Buckeye Rd, Tolleson, 47th Ave, which are usually less congested.
  • Book your car hire in Glendale at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Premium hire cars in Glendale are around 30% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about car hire in Glendale

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Glendale?

    Choosing a car to drive around Glendale can be tricky, but it mostly depends on the places you want to go and the number of passengers you’ll be carrying. If you plan to go hiking at Wildwood Canyon Park or visit Malibu beach, an SUV will be preferred. Opt for a van or a minivan if you’ll be traveling with a group of colleagues or family. If your journey entails making a lot of trips in the central business district, a small car will be a better option for easy navigation through busy streets.

Rented a car at 6pm. Arrived at facility at 6:05’and discovered the facility was closed at 6pm. How can I rent a car when the facility is already closed. I wasted $100 in Uber trying to find an open facility.

The only thing which could be improved was the car smelled of someone smoking in it. As a nonsmoker, I don't appreciate the smell. In addition, the car manual was missing.

Cleaner car. We found a vape cartridge for THC in between the seat. It would have been easier to have automatic lift gate, esp. for older people. But all in all, we will use again!

Cons:

The rental car agency did not have a vehicle for me, even though this was a prepaid rental. I have not found a place on the Kayak app where I can request a refund, so I have asked my credit card company to file a claim to get the refund.
