Airport Van Rental in Los Angeles

Whether you want to take your Los Angeles van rental to go celebrity watching or to experience the incredible variety of culture the City of Angels has to offer, you're in for a good time. L.A. is globally recognized as a hot spot for fashion, art, cuisine, music, and of course, film and entertainment. 

 

The city is also bursting with personality, originality, and glamour. Few other cities offer such a diverse group of people, places, and experiences. Of course, seeing it all is impossible without a vehicle. 

 

Los Angeles is a big city, so renting a van from AVR lets you explore this sprawling, exciting city at your own pace. With a van rental, Los Angeles becomes easily accessible. Having a vehicle available to you at all times also makes it easy to make plans and be spontaneous. A 15-passenger van rental is also an option for a large group. This way, everyone can hop in and cruise around L.A. without sacrificing legroom or comfort. 

 

For smaller groups, a minivan rental in LAX is ideal, but a 12-passenger van rental may be what you need if you have a large group. That way, no one gets left out on the fun. 

 

AVR also has unique handcrafted journeys that start from L.A. and take you to beautiful destinations. We even took the time to pick out stops along the way that are sure to keep the fun going. Fear not, though! If the city of L.A. is what you are after, there is plenty to do.

Browse AVR’s Passenger Van Collection

Passenger vans are specifically designed for transporting groups of people. They are similar in size to cargo vans, but instead of using the extra space to haul items, they have an additional number of seats. Passenger vans also have luxury features that keep everyone comfortable, such as dual air conditioning and plenty of legroom.

8 Passenger Van Rental

Larger than a minivan, an 8-seater van is an ideal size for family trips or small groups exploring Los Angeles. Even if you don't have eight passengers, you may opt for this size vehicle since it allows everyone extra room to spread out during the journey. 

11 Passenger Van Rental

11-passenger vans are a good choice for sizeable groups with a moderate amount of luggage (up to 5 bags). They have a little more cargo space than 12-passenger vans, so if your group has 8-11 people, this size van rental is the way to go! 

12 Passenger Van Rental

12-passenger vans have space for one more passenger, which is perfect if you are coming to L.A with a large group. In addition to 12 people, this passenger van can fit up to 4 bags. 

15 Passenger Van Rental

Our biggest passenger vans are 15-seaters, popular options for school field trips or company excursions. There's plenty of space for your group, but luggage space is limited. If you're flying in LAX, you may want to drop your luggage off at your hotel before picking up your group. 

Explore Every Corner of Los Angeles

There's a reason Los Angeles is famous worldwide — there's so much to do during your stay here! If you have enough time, why not use LAX as a hub for exploring other great cities in southern California? For example, San Diego is just under two hours away from LAX airport. 

 

If you're feeling especially adventurous, spend a couple of days in Las Vegas or San Francisco, both great destinations with plenty to see along the way.

Where to Begin? 

The great thing about Los Angeles is that there's no shortage of fun to be had — especially with a Los Angeles van rental to get you around. But with a surplus of great things to see and do, you may wonder where to start!  

 

We recommend taking your van down to Hollywood and seeing where today's hottest actors and actresses got their start. Or, spend a day at Venice Beach soaking up the sun and waves. Of course, there's much more to L.A. than celebs and sunshine. In fact, Los Angeles boasts a wide variety of cultural staples, including museums, galleries, fine cuisine, and so much more.
