Driving tips for Orange County

When you rent a car in Orange County, you have access to a large stretch of coastline just south of Los Angeles. Keep these tips in mind for a breezy trip:

Be prepared for traffic: Highways around Los Angeles are notorious for traffic jams, so always check the best route before you head out, and make sure you have enough gas to get to where you’re going.
HOV lanes: Signs will tell you how many people need to be in the car to use the HOV lane. Note, you may only cross over when there is a break or opening in the line.
Motorcycles: California law allows motorcycles to ride down the middle of a lane, as well as cross over into your lane and share your spot, so stay alert when motorcycles are nearby.
Headlights: By law in Orange County, you must use your headlights from 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise.

These and our other tips for driving in California will help you enjoy your trip to the fullest.
