EUROPCAR Car Rental at LAX Airport

Europcar does not have its own rental desk at LAX Airport but uses its partner National counter at the airport.

Using the free phones located in the interactive Visitors Information Centers (VIC's), which are located in the area of the baggage claim islands on the Lower Level in the Arrivals halls, customers can request their Europcar courtesy shuttle pick-up to Parking Lot C, where all car rental offices are located at LAX.

For advance bookings customers should visit the official company website at www.europcar.com. It is also possible to contact the LAX counter by telephone on +1 (888) 826 6890. It is always cheaper and less time consuming to book online that wait in line at the airport and book over the counter.

Located in San Bernardino County in the Calico Mountains of the Mojave Desert, roughly a 70 mile drive from LAX, California's historic and very genuine silver mining town Calico is today one of the most visited tourist attractions of the region.

The "Ghost Town" still displays some of the original mining camps of the Old Wild West. Calico Ghost Town has its own museum housed in a genuine late 1880's building in the town and the town is part of a huge regional park, where visitors can go fishing, swimming, boating as well as enjoy other water sports or go hiking on numerous trails in the Mojave Desert region.

An attraction of a very different nature is Catalina Island. From downtown LA motorists should take the 710 Freeway south into Long Beach and follow the signs to the exit Golden Shore, from where sign-posting will direct them to the terminal and the boats or, if preferred, the helicopter service.

Catalina Island Museum is perhaps an attraction for a rainy day - if such actually exist in California - but the island boasts many other attractions and activities like parasailing, bike rentals for excursions into the interior of the island, bubble rollers, an astronomy tour with guide, shopping in wonderful gift shops, dining on great seafood, not to mention helicopter rides around the island. There are also a golf course, private plane flying lessons, kayak rental, theaters, a cinema and much, much more. The museum is dedicated to the culture and heritage of the island, offering education and entertainment in equal measure with a number of galleries and a digital age theater.
