KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Mission Viejo
- Booking car hire in Mission Viejo provides a level of easy-to-use transportation that is more convenient than public transportation. As wonderful as the Metrolink and bus systems can be, they're not always comfortable or timely. With Mission Viejo car hire, you're in control of your own schedule. You can explore the city and its destinations at your own pace, without having to wait for a train or bus to arrive or adhere to their schedules. Mission Viejo and the surrounding neighbourhoods have so much to offer, from the rolling hills of Cleveland National Forest and the stunning shores of Laguna Beach to the shopping and entertainment district at the nearby Irvine Spectrum Center.
- Most car hire companies at Los Angeles Airport (LAX) offer a shuttle service to take travellers to their hire car offices. The shuttle pick-up area is on the lower level outside each terminal's Baggage Claim area. The shuttle buses are marked with the appropriate car hire company logos. The offices are located in a facility near the airport called the LAX Consolidated Rent-A-Car Facility.
- Utilising car hire in Mission Viejo is generally uncomplicated. One rule to be aware of is Mission Viejo's prohibition on the use of cell phones while driving.

There are also trucks on the road, particularly along I-5, which runs through the city.
- Mission Viejo experiences heavy traffic during rush hour times, which are typically from 07:00 to 09:00 and from 15:30 to 16:30 on weekdays.

Sept 2019
Pros:
Drop-off was easy and super low-key. No hassle pick-up. Car was in good condition. Reasonable price.Cons:
Drop-off was intended for Labor Day (Sept 2) but the location (and every other location) was closed. I wasn't aware that I'd be unable to return the vehicle, and have yet to find out if Budget is going to charge us for the extra day despite no heads-up and no alternative drop-off options.2.0 Poor
Aug 2018
Cons:
I called Friday afternoon and reserved a mini van for a 24 hour rental and scheduled a noon pick up on Saturday. I received a call at 10 am on Saturday morning from Budget saying they did not have my vehicle. I called customer service, and they found a rental 1/2 hour away in the opposite direction. After negotiating with C.R., they agreed to give me the van for the same price. But, it was too late to find a ride to pick it up. I was very upset.2.0 Poor
Sept 2017
Cons:
Reserved a car but was notified the day of my rental that there were no cars available. A rep apparently called to let me know AFTER my reservation time had passed but didn't leave a message. Fortunately, I called to make sure my car would be ready, at which point the rep just told me that they didn't have any cars and to call about store and provided no additional assistance. I spent an hour on the phone ensuring that the guaranteed price would be honored at another location and had to speak to 3 different customer service reps (some of whom were rude) and had to cover the cost of travel to another rental location at the last minute.9.2 Wonderful
