It is recommended that you rent a car to get around Commerce and the surrounding areas. Expect a one-way car rental to cost between $40-70. Parking is generally available at all of the attractions but often comes at a premium. Expect to pay $15-20 for parking at each attraction. To get from Commerce to Hollywood or Santa Monica, it is recommended to take Uber or Lyft, which will cost around $20-30 each way.
If you have less than 4 days, you may consider combining some of the attractions and spending less time at each one. For a longer stay, consider adding in other nearby locations such as Disneyland, Rodeo Drive, or Newport Beach. Don't forget to bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes and a sun hat, as many of the attractions require walking outdoors. Lastly, be sure to check the weather, as it can get quite hot in the summer months.
