Top tips for renting a car in Hollywood
- If you are one of the people who would like to book their cheap rental cars in Hollywood upon arrival in the city, you would be pleased to hear that there are numerous car rentals in strategic positions such as near the train station. For instance, you can conveniently book Hollywood cheap car rentals from Enterprise Rent-A-Car at 1619 N Gower St. You can also book Midway Car Rental which is located on 3737 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles.
- Several events occur in Hollywood that cause a lot of traffic. It is advisable to avoid driving in Hollywood during major events. A good example is The Academy Awards, which are held every year on the last Sunday of February at the Dolby Theatre. This event causes the closure of Hollywood Boulevard between Highland Avenue and Vine Street. Additionally, The Hollywood Christmas Parade is held every year on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. The parade route runs along Hollywood Boulevard from Orange Drive to Vine Street.
- If you are traveling to Hollywood to get the ultimate experience, then it would be best to book these Hollywood car rentals. They offer convenience and comfort, allowing you to fully explore the landmarks and attractions near the city. For example, it will only take you fifteen to twenty driving minutes to get to Miami beach. You can also drive for twenty minutes and get to Coral Gables, which is approximately 30 miles away from the town center. These car rentals can be easily accessed and booked through KAYAK. All you need is to choose the most suitable one.
- Car rentals in Hollywood are a good idea since South Florida is limited in terms of public transportation options. If you plan to drive a good amount during your trip, as most of the destinations in South Florida are only accessible through the major roadways, having your own set of wheels with a Hollywood car rental is a flexible way to get around. Having a car rental will also allow you to travel the scenic A1A route running through the coastal area of Hollywood Beach.
- When flying into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, you will need to pick up your car rental in Hollywood from Terminal 1. If you are arriving in Terminal 1, simply follow the signs to the Car Rental Center on level 3 and take one of the airport shuttles, operating regularly. From other terminals, the airport shuttle buses can be found on the street adjacent to the baggage claim at marked pickup locations.
- Keep in mind that there are several toll roads, including the Florida Turnpike, Expressways 836, and to the airport. Be sure to ask your car rental company about the option to book an electronic SunPass for toll payment if you plan to use these roadways. The SunPass will also allow you to travel in the I-95 Express Lane if traffic hits. Beware of drivers switching lanes without using their blinkers and drivers who speed up through yellow lights rather than slow down. Pedestrians by law have right of way, but it is common to see drivers who fail to stop for pedestrians, so watch out for this as well.
- In general, Hollywood drivers don’t experience much traffic, with the one exception being rush hour, when people are going and returning from work, around 8-9am and 5-6pm, during the tourist season from January to March. During these times, the I-95 can become congested. Also, during these peak times, there might be slower travel times along the US-1. The Super Bowl Weekend in February can also get the major highways a bit busier than usual, so you should plan for some delays. If you are on a schedule or are catching a flight, be sure to allow extra time during rush hour to arrive on time.

Pros:
The office at the pick up location smelled nice.Cons:
The location did not have my car size on the lot at the Hollywood location on Pembroke Rd. I took a small SUV: Nissan Rogue as thats all they had. It did not fit me; I'm 6feet 6in and 280lbs. The location said they anticipate a full size arrival the next day by 11am. I called on Friday; they dont have a full size. I had to drive 17miles to the Miami Lakes location to pickup the Full Size car 1 day after my pick up day. I had to delay my vacation. The only compensation I got was a free 1/2 tank of gas or 8 gallons @$2.43/gal which equals $19.44 for all my troubles.7.9 Good

Apr. 2021
Pros:
was able to change the drop off location to airport with minimal cost/penaltyCons:
I had to wait for the car to arrive to the car rental place for 3 hours. In addition there were 5 to 7 other people who were also waiting. After waiting for about 1.5 hours the staff realized that they mixed up my car choice and so this led to further delays. Very frustrating to spend 3 hours of my vacation sitting in a parking lot on the highway during a nice sunny day, when I should have been with with my family.2.0 Poor
Dec. 2020
Pros:
The customer service was easy to get in touch withCons:
Everything. The car was not ready upon pick up. I was told “we have no cars here for you so you can either wait or take a smaller car” I then I had to wait for someone to return a car, then wait for it to be cleaned. I got the car and the driver window would not roll down. I called 3 location in the are to switch the car out and no cars were available. On my 14 hour drive one of the tires continued to lose pressure, also the car shook when driving over 50 or accelerating. At my destination I had to contact 5 enterprises a day to see if any cars were available to switch out. During 5 days no one had any cars, so I was forced to drive this car which I did not feel safe in 14 hours back home.10.0 Wonderful

Enterprise overall as a company needs to do better with their online reservations. I made a reservation in Hollandale and they claim that they called me but they never did to tell me that the car reserved was not available so when I went to pick up the car they told me that as well as that there were no other cars available he gave me a card and told me to call around to the other enterprise to see if they had a car available10.0 Wonderful
