Toll roads in the United States
There are toll roads in and around Los Angeles. Tolls are often collected electronically. Not all toll roads accept cash, so it is useful to check with your car rental company about toll payment options. You can often avoid toll roads by taking alternative routes, but these may take longer.
Refuelling in the United States
At filling stations in the US, petrol is called ‘gasoline’ or ‘gas’. There are usually three octane levels: Regular, Plus and Premium.

Los Angeles International Airport, often abbreviated as LAX, is one of the busiest airports in the world with more than 80 million passengers annually. It has nine passenger terminals connected by a U-shaped route, making navigating the airport relatively easy. LAX serves as a major hub for both domestic and international flights, making it an ideal starting point for your journey through California.
From Los Angeles Airport, it's about a 30-minute drive to the heart of the city, depending on traffic. You take I-105 East and then I-110 North towards Downtown LA. Along the way, you can see the city skyline looming and pass several iconic neighbourhoods. With your rental car, you are flexible and can easily stop at attractions such as the Staples Center or the Los Angeles Convention Center.
With your rental car, you can easily drive from Los Angeles Airport to other interesting cities. San Diego is about two hours' drive south on I-5 South. Along the way, you will enjoy beautiful coastal views and can stop at places like Laguna Beach. Santa Barbara is northwest of LA and can be reached within an hour and a half via US-101 North. The drive takes you along the scenic Pacific Coast Highway with stunning ocean views. Both routes are toll-free and offer a great opportunity to discover more of California.
Roads in the United States are generally well-maintained and wide, especially highways and main roads. However, roads in and around Los Angeles can be busy, especially during rush hours. Note that distances are given in miles and speed limits in miles per hour (mph). In addition, roads are numbered with interstates (I-10, I-5) and highways, making navigation easier.
For travelling through California, a comfortable and spacious car is recommended. An SUV offers enough space for luggage and is ideal for longer distances. If you plan to visit the mountains or national parks, a car with a powerful engine is handy for the hilly and winding roads. In sunny California, a convertible is also a popular choice to make the most of the weather and scenery.
The best travel time for California is in spring and autumn, from April to June and from September to October. During these periods, temperatures are pleasant and it is usually less crowded than in high season. This makes it ideal to take your rental car out and explore the sights.
In the United States, you can enjoy a wide range of dishes. Be sure to try a classic American burger or hot dog. In California, Mexican influences are strong, so tacos and burritos are also recommended. In addition, the region is known for its fresh seafood and sushi.
