To land the best price on a Hollywood car hire, it's a good idea to book in advance. Rates tend to climb as your travel dates get closer, and last-minute availability isn't always guaranteed.
Sixt, Hertz and Budget are some of the best-known providers in the city. They're a great starting point for comparing offers.
The coverage Sixt or another supplier offers for your Hollywood car rental can vary, so remember to go over the fine print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge a fee for it.
Booking one-way could land you a discount on your rental. Providers sometimes offer lower rates when vehicles need to be moved between sites. Simply select 'Return car to a different location' when searching the cars for rent in Hollywood.

Go wherever the road takes you by booking a rental with 'Unlimited mileage.' Located under the 'Policies' filter, these rides let you drive as far as you like without paying more.

Good to know
You usually have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in the United States. Being younger isn't always a deal-breaker — just be ready for a few added rules or costs. Check the companies' terms and conditions before booking.
Traveling with kids? Car seat laws differ from place to place, and the right setup may depend on their age, height and weight. Check if you need to add one to your Hollywood car rental reservation.
Make sure you have the necessary documents when collecting your car. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's license, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.
If you haven't driven before in the United States, be aware that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Keep within local speed limits of about 40kph in built-up areas and around 110kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.
A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in the United States. The safest choice for staying legal to drive is to not drink at all.
Around 5pm is one of the busiest times for traffic in this destination. Try to avoid peak times generally for a smoother trip.
The United States dollar (USD) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay with your card when it's possible, but have some cash handy for places that don't accept electronic payment.
