LA - San Diego - Palm Springs

The touristic infostructure is wide and convenient in the USA. You can use a plane, train, public transportation, or private wheels to get to any destination. You can find a cheap SUV car rental in Palm Springs and then come to Los Angeles as the biggest city. The straight road will take about 2 hours. You will get a lot of fascinating places and activities on your way. For example, try the Aerial Tramway. It departs from Valley Station and rises people to a height of 1790 meters in 10 minutes! Or head to the San Bernardino National Forest, a perfect place to retrieve. However, you will require more time if you plan to drive to San Diego, the city expanded toward the Pacific ocean. Do not spend your time in vain there! You can visit Balboa Park or USS Midway Museum. Then, turn to I-5N and drive along the shores to the City of Angels! You will enjoy its beauty and landscapes during the two-hours trip. Then, have some rest and take photos in San Clemente. Go swimming in Huntington Beach and start exploring from Hollywood to Beverly Hills. Do not forget to use Sat Navi or get a paper map because indigenous streets are sophisticated. What is convenient is that even if you decide to rent a car in Palm Springs, you can drop it off whenever you want. The rental offices for that are almost everywhere. 

Los Angeles - San Francisco 

The entire route from Los Angeles to San Francisco surprises and amazes with an abundance of magnificent panoramas, rocky cliffs, and sharp turns. All the way, you feel the breeze of the mighty Pacific Ocean. San Francisco is worth seeing with its diverse architecture, exciting nightlife, and welcoming people.

Then, the California State Route 1 that goes along the breathtaking coastline welcomes you. It is a two-lane highway that runs along the Pacific coast of California. The length of the road is 650 miles. You will have offers to many beaches, parks, and other coastal attractions. The good news is that rental car under 25 is possible in the state. Ask the rental agent to calculate the extra daily charge for you and simply drive.

LA - Death Valley

California is not only about beaches and the ocean. You may select another way to experience the region and drive inland to the Death Valley. Fuel is quite expensive there, so better fill up a full tank in advance. Make the first stop in Santa Clarita. You can attend Pico Canyon Park, go shopping, or take a walk in Central Park. After that, turn to CA-14 N. Drive a bit along the Santa Clara River to Lancaster. Then go on on the Trona Road along the Searles Lake to the Death Valley National Park. The area is over 1.3 million hectares of desert and mountains for hiking, camping, and cycling. The great decision will be to hire a guide as a part of your group. People come here for unearthly landscapes: cracked, salt-crusted earth, canyons, and dunes contrasting with high snow-capped mountains. There are many routes for cycling and hiking. The park is open all year round. Yet, the peak of the tourist season in Death Valley falls during the cold winter months and spring, when the wild vegetation of this region blooms in all its glory. Summertime is the least popular because of the high temperatures. For more information for tourists, you can contact the local office in Furnis Creek. 

Choose any of the routes, and a good time is guaranteed for you! Have a great road trip to sunny California!
