Drives and routes around Los Angeles, explained
Where the car goes: how Los Angeles drives, the scenic roads and where to photograph a supercar, the road trips out of the city, the rules for leaving the state, and which airport to land at and how the car meets the flight.
Los Angeles has a reputation for traffic and a quiet supply of some of the best driving roads in the country, most of them within forty minutes of each other. Mulholland, the Pacific Coast Highway to Point Mugu, the Malibu canyons and Angeles Crest are different roads for different cars, and the difference is the whole point of renting one rather than another. Beyond the city are the two trips everyone asks about: the coast north to Santa Barbara and the desert east to Las Vegas.
The cars can leave California — tell us the plan in advance and we match the allowance to the trip. The routes here say which car suits which road, how long the drive really takes on a Friday afternoon, and where the good photographs are. When the plan starts at an airport, the LAX page explains standard and curbside handovers and delivery covers everywhere else; the Malibu and other location pages are where the car is booked for a specific part of the map.

Frequently asked questions
Can I drive a rental exotic to Las Vegas or up the coast?
Nizo Luxury lets any car leave California with the plan agreed in advance — +1 (424) 303-6496. The car comes back to Los Angeles: there is no one-way drop in Las Vegas or anywhere else. Each car carries its own daily mileage allowance, confirmed in writing with the booking, so tell us the route and we match the car to it; the fleet runs from $102 a day.
Can the car meet my flight at LAX?
Yes, two ways. LAX is $150 both ways with the car in the airport parking structure or $300 both ways to the terminal, half that for one direction. Burbank and the other airports are priced by distance, and the quote carries the figure before you pay.
Can I take a rental exotic to a track day?
No. Racing and any track activity are prohibited on every car, and so is off-road driving. The canyons and the coast road are where these cars earn their day, and neither needs a circuit.
