Explore California by Rental Car

Explore California by car with Auto Europe. Even though California is the third-largest state in the U.S., getting around is very simple thanks to the state's expansive and easy-to-use state highway systems. A trip from the top of California to the bottom can take well over ten hours, but with so much to see, you'll undoubtedly take much longer. If you're interested in a scenic drive, you'll want to take the coast route (State Route 1 and U.S. 101), which is slower and windier but easily the most enjoyable. Wherever you plan to travel in California, adding a car rental with Auto Europe will make the whole experience easier and more enjoyable.

Outside the major metropolitan areas, you can witness breathtaking national parks, fantastic ski resorts, national forests, and the tallest mountain peak in the US, Mt. Whitney. With so many rental car locations in California, Auto Europe simplifies the rental process. With many vehicles in the car rental fleet, a 24-hour roadside assistance guarantee, and our fully refundable cancellation policy, enjoying your vacation has never been easier.
