West Covina has public transportation, including buses and trains, which can be cost-effective options. However, renting a car might be more convenient if you want to explore the surrounding areas. Expect to pay around $30-$50 per day for a rental car, and plan for a 30-minute drive from downtown Los Angeles to West Covina.
If you have more time, visit other nearby attractions such as the San Gabriel Mountains or the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens. Alternatively, if you have less time, prioritize visiting Plaza West Covina and Galster Wilderness Park, followed by Shadow Oak Park and South Hills Country Club.
