Travelers need to consider renting a car as some locations may not be easily accessible via public transportation. The cost of a rental ranges from $40 to $70 per day. Uber/Lyft options are also available ranging from $20 to $50 per ride depending on distance.
If you have more time, consider visiting Santa Monica Pier or Universal Studios Hollywood. If you have less time, skip the California Science Center and Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Do make sure to try the local cuisine and bring comfortable walking shoes as most places require walking.
