West Side Rent-a-Car - Gardena, California

Chris Cork

I rented a car from West Side Rent-a-Car for 18 consecutive months, and it was an awesome experience.

Radu and Laura look after their cars and their customers.

The cars that I drove were always in good, clean, reliable condition - and always at a good price.

In the very rare case that an issue arose with the car that I was driving - or, more likely, if I had left the headlights on and drained the car's battery, which I did often - the guys were always incredibly responsive and attentive.

I just purchased a car, so now I've returned my rental back to the shop. But if I ever need a rental again in the future, I will definitely be calling Radu.

If you're looking to rent a clean, safe, reliable car at a very fair price - and from truly great people - I cannot recommend these guys highly enough!

Great car hire company.

Moving to LA as a Brit with no credit history and not wanting to pay extortionate long term car hire costs, I found this business online.

The cars are used but in great working condition and Radu (the owner) is quick to respond if you have any problems or questions. They are the best priced car hire in town and the service is way beyond what I expected.

Would recommend to anyone looking for a longer term rental.

I rented 3 times from Radu. On each occasion I was very pleased with the service and the car condition. It was very clean and reliable, never had a problem. The price is very affordable and you get the best value for it.

The overall process and paperwork was very fast and efficient and I was on my way in a matter of minutes. Very nice people to work with. I will definitely rent with them again.

West Side Rent-a-Car is best deal on the market, by far. If you are under 25 and looking to rent a car in Los Angeles, this is the place with the absolute best prices. Radu is very accessible and the place has flexible hours, making it very convenient. If you have any sort of problems, like locking your keys in your car, they will help you immediately. I have rented a car there for consecutive summer internships, and would gladly rent again next summer.

I had a long term consulting assignment and needed a rental car in LA for 3.5 months. The national rental car companies were extremely expensive. I was able to rent a reliable car from West Side Rent a Car for a fraction of the going price. The car was not new or fancy, but it was clean, well maintained. I had a VW Passat. During the time I had the car there was a mechanical issue, the car was immediately changed out. The staff was extremely polite and helpful. If you are looking for a shiny new showy car, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for solid reliable transportation for a good price, with a friendly staff, you have found the place.

I was with my family in LA for 4 months and we were prospecting on renting a car for longer time,but somehow discouraged by the high prices charged by the big rent-a-car companies (Sixt,Avis,Herz etc).

Luckily I found Radu and his car rental company on a Google search,which proven to be a great deal in the end. We rented a car two times (once for 1 month, another time for 2 weeks) and the working experience with Radu and his wife Laura was excellent each time. The cars were Passats, older but reliable, never had any issues with any of them, which should come as no surprise, as Radu cares a lot about them, servicing them itself.

What I appreciated very much was their customer care and how supportive were in finding a solution to my requests ( for instance, at my first rental they offer a bigger car than what I initially wanted,at the same price,due to unavailability of model requested by me, while at my second rent, they agree to drop me and my family at the airport,after returning the car).

In conclusion, I would highly recommend West Side Rent-a-Car to anyone interested in renting a car on long term , for a fair price and with a great customer care. Great job guys,keep up the good work! 😉

I rented a car at West Side Rent-a-Car for three months. It worked well and they were very helpful and service minded, for instance free airport pickup and drop off.

I would recommend them to anyone looking for the cheapest long term car rental in the larger LA area. The cars are not new, but for this price they are still in good shape and they also offered a fairly cheap liability insurance.

I had to rent for weeks and I'm so glad I found West Side!! The car was nice without any issues and the price was reasonable. Radu was friendly and flexible to work with. I would recommend West Side for local car rental that can be a hassle without a major credit card. If I ever need to rent again I know right where to go!!
