ENTERPRISE Car Rental at LAX Airport

Enterprise is one of the official car rental suppliers at Los Angeles Airport that are permitted to pick-up arriving air travelers in the designated collection area underneath the purple sign that reads "Rental Car Shuttles".

This area is located on the Lower Level in the Arrivals island area, where the baggage claim is handled at the terminal. Arriving passengers without a car rental reservation may use the free phones located in the interactive Visitors Information Centers (VIC's).

The free phones can be found close to the baggage reclaim islands on the Lower Level in the Arrivals Halls. Using these telephones passengers can request their Enterprise courtesy shuttle pick-up to Parking Lot C, where all car hire offices are located. Upon payment for the car rental contract, customers are handed their keys and documents, before being shown to their chosen vehicle.

To make a reservation online, customers should head to the official Enterprise car hire Los Angeles Airport web address at www.enterprise.com.

From the airport it is just a 48 km or 30 mile drive to the wonderful San Fernando Valley, home to some of the world's most famous movie studios. Some of the movie business most active and well-known actors, directors, stunt men and women and similar professionals live and work in the San Fernando Valley.

Although there is a FlyAway bus that takes passengers for just $6.00 per person to the Valley, driving through the metropolitan area of Los Angeles to get to the Valley is a far better option - there are so many tempting stop overs on the way and besides, who wouldn't rather travel Californian highways in a red Ford Mustang convertible, given the chance?

Ventura Boulevard with Universal Studio at its core is perhaps the most famous location in the Valley - except perhaps for Mulholland Drive, where a not entirely inconspicuous sign with huge white letters points to Hollywood. The drive up to the top of Mulholland is not unlike a roller coaster ride - drivers need their wits about them, but the views over the valley are spectacular and well worth the spine-tingling journey on a steep road that twists and turns like an angry snake.

For dining there are the restaurants Buca di Beppo and the Hard Rock Café Hollywood at the Universal City Walk, the latter bursting at the seams with movie memorabilia or the French cuisine served at Pinot Bistro in Studio City for example.

A traditional American shopping experience can be enjoyed at the Westfield Fashion Square, which is home to Bloomingdale's and some 140 other stores including the Banana Republic. At the outer rim of the Valley there is the suburb of Glendale, where the Glendale Galleria provides even more retail therapy.
