Car Rental in Century City

Century City is a modern business and shopping district in West Los Angeles, framed by Beverly Hills and Westwood, with Westfield Century City Mall as its hub. Two rental companies in the area make it easy to pick up a car and continue along Sunset Strip or toward Malibu. Santa Monica Beach is just 8 km west via Santa Monica Boulevard, approximately 15 minutes' drive without traffic.

UCLA Campus in Westwood is 2 km to the north, and Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills can be reached in under 10 minutes (3 km). Avoid renting a car here if you only plan to stay in Century City – traffic on Olympic Boulevard and Avenue of the Stars can be chaotic. Book early in the morning to avoid rush hour traffic toward PCH and Malibu.

Ask the rental company about parking – Century City has expensive parking garages. How do I get to LAX from Century City? LAX is approximately 13 km to the south, about 20–40 minutes depending on traffic via Lincoln Boulevard or Sepulveda Boulevard.

Is Century City a good base for exploring LA? Yes, the location is central with easy access to Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Hollywood (approximately 12 km northeast), but expect traffic. Can I drop the car off at another location in LA?

Yes, most rental companies offer one-way rentals within the LA area, but check for any additional fees when booking.
