JimandLouise Posted August 19, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hi, We're going to be sailing out of San Pedro on our cruise, and we'll be having 3 pre-cruise days in LA. All of the car rental places seem to have return branches in Long Beach, but none in San Pedro. I've found Hertz has a place in 'Lomita' which is about 3 miles from San Pedro. Can any one tell me if this would be a good option, or are there any other options on rental car return? Unfortunatley we're not staying in a San Pedro hotel, so hiring to/from there isn't really an option. Would we be better off dropping the car in Long Beach to get a taxi? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srphnx Posted August 19, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2004 [color=black][b]Drop in Lomita or Long beach, it isn't much of a cab ride to San Pedro there, maybe the rental place will even give you a lift, maybe not.[/b][/color][quote name='JimandLouise']Hi, We're going to be sailing out of San Pedro on our cruise, and we'll be having 3 pre-cruise days in LA.

Colo Cruiser Posted August 19, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2004 We rented Enterprise at LAX and returned to San Pedro right across the street from the pier. They took us over to the Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nho9504 Posted August 20, 2004 #5 Share Posted August 20, 2004 on Hertz website it said reimburse cab fare up to $10 when I called Hertz long beach city office, they said it is a short ride and yes, they would deduct cab fare from the rental. i did not know Enterprise has an office at San Pedro. it doesn't show on their website and their website doesn't allow you to pick a different drop off location. thanks for the info. Edit : I just checked Enterprize site. Their cheapest economy is the same price as Hertz 2 category up. I got an Intermediate at Hertz, (equivalent to a Mazda 6) for $25ish including tax, with AAA discount. (American Airline discount is just 2 bucks higher). Enterprise rate is 27ish including tax for a Chevy Cavalier. I am thinking to rent one on the disembarkation day though. It is cheaper and more convenient to drive a rental to LAX vs taking a shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the San Pedro location, 310) 548-8060. will call them to find out if I can rent from that location and return it to LAX. for a few hours I dont mind to have a Neon. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna5 Posted August 20, 2004 #7 Share Posted August 20, 2004 There's also a liquor store at that location. It's between the San Pedro Pier and the Best Western Sonrise. Closer to the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
