Pick-up locations

Auto Europe Israel collaborates with rental companies DOLLAR and THRIFTY in Los Angeles, offering clients a variety of vehicles, flexible terms, and service in Hebrew. Both companies have branches at LAX Airport and convenient city branches across Los Angeles for pickup and drop-off according to your travel itinerary. Through us, you will receive a transparent comparison between the suppliers' fleets and policies and an easy booking tailored to your needs.

Car rental companies in Los Angeles

Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a wide range of car rental companies in Los Angeles and the US in general, providing you with a large network of pick-up and drop-off locations throughout the metropolis. The most popular hubs are at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), with shuttles from the terminals to the rental centers, and in the downtown area around Union Station, offering easy access to main exit routes and major traffic arteries.

Active branches are also located in key neighborhoods and areas such as Hollywood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, and West Los Angeles, as well as at Burbank (BUR) and Long Beach (LGB) airports. This allows you to choose where to pick up or return the car according to your planned route: close to your accommodation, before heading north on Highway 1, or after a day at the beaches. One-way rentals within the city or between destinations in California and the US may be considered, subject to availability and policy, and may incur additional costs.

Operating hours vary between companies and pick-up locations, so it is very important to check in advance that the station you have chosen is open at the landing time or before departure. At airport stations, operating hours are usually extended and coordinated with flight schedules, but this is not guaranteed—it is recommended to verify at the time of booking. Return outside operating hours is available at some branches using a key box, subject to branch policy.

Planning tip: Traffic in Los Angeles is heavy during peak hours, so allot time for walking or shuttle at the airport and the pickup process. Ensure a credit card is in the name of the primary driver and a valid driver's license; if the license is not in English, it is recommended to have an international driver's license.

FAQ – Car rental in Los Angeles

What is the minimum age for renting a car, and is there an additional charge for young drivers?
In Los Angeles through Auto Europe Israel with Dollar and Thrifty, the minimum rental age is 21. Drivers aged 21-24 are usually subject to a daily young driver surcharge (approximately $25-35 per day, depending on the supplier and category), and there may be restrictions on vehicle categories available to them. All drivers must present a valid driver's license and a credit card in the name of the primary driver.
Is an Israeli driver's license sufficient, or is an international license required?
In Los Angeles, when renting through Auto Europe Israel from Dollar/Thrifty branches, you can rent with a valid Israeli driver's license (typically requiring at least one year of validity) and a passport; if the license is not in English, an additional international driving permit (IDP) must be presented alongside the Israeli license. Some branches may request an IDP even when the local license is not clear, so it is recommended to bring it in any case. An international credit card in the name of the primary driver is required for security.
What does the basic insurance package include, and what additional insurance is recommended?
When renting in Los Angeles through Auto Europe Israel, rates for international travelers often include LDW/CDW for damage and theft coverage and SLI for third-party liability coverage, subject to exclusions and participation as indicated on the voucher. At Dollar/Thrifty branches, you can purchase additional coverages such as SLI (if not included), Roadside Assistance, windshield/tire/key coverage, and PAI/PEC. It is advisable to check the booking voucher for actual inclusions, take note of the deposits that will be held on the credit card, and avoid driving outside the contract conditions.
Can an additional driver be added, and what is the cost involved?
Yes. In Los Angeles with Dollar/Thrifty through Auto Europe Israel, an additional driver can be added provided they meet the age and licensing requirements and appear at the branch with their documents. In most cases, a daily fee of approximately $13-15 per driver (plus taxes) is charged, while the primary driver's spouse or partner in the US is usually exempt from the fee. Every additional driver must be registered in the contract for the insurance coverage to be valid.
What documents are required to collect the car at the airport?
To collect a car in Los Angeles through Auto Europe Israel from Dollar/Thrifty branches, you will be required to have: a valid passport, an original valid Israeli driver's license (and alongside it an international license if the license is not in English), an international credit card in the name of the primary driver for security, and the Auto Europe Israel booking voucher. It is recommended to have your flight details and a printed or digital booking document to expedite the process.

Tips for car rental in Los Angeles

Looking for car rental abroad with peace of mind? We have selected four practical, short tips to help you get through the counter quickly, save costs, and return the car without surprises along the way, in any destination and season you've chosen.

Credit for Deposit: Arrive Prepared

Rental companies require a physical international credit card in the name of the primary driver, with an available limit for deposit. Debit/prepaid cards are generally not accepted for deposit. Ensure the card is available at pickup.

Fuel and Mileage: Avoid Surprises

Prefer full-to-full policy and check in advance if the reservation includes unlimited mileage or a daily limit. This way, you plan your trip without incurring unexpected fees.

International License: Check Before You Fly

In some countries, an international driver's license (IDP) is required in addition to the Israeli license. Check according to the destination and period, and issue it in advance from an authorized entity to avoid refusal at pickup.

Documenting Damages: Photograph and Record

Upon collection and return, inspect the car, photograph from all angles (including rims, windows, and interior), and ensure everything is noted in the contract. Clear documentation prevents disputes and damage charges.
