This is my second time renting with Value Rental Car in Inglewood. I'm leaving this review because their customer service and accommodations for you are absolutely amazing, their prices are great, and they treat and serve you EXTREMELY well! I got into an accident two weeks and they deemed my car a total loss. I knew I needed a car and immediately called Value Rental Car because I had such a great experience the first time. I'm 22, a recent college grad, and only have a Debit Card. When I first rented with them, I was still 21 and a college student. Other rental car places WILL NOT let you rent with them if you are under 25 and do not have a credit card. However, I was easily accepted to rent with Value Rental Car both times with NO issues. I initially rented my car for 5 days, but extended it for 3 additional days due to my hectic car shopping schedule. Once I realized I needed to extend it, I contacted them and did so with ease. Since my schedule can get crazy, it was impactful to know that I was NEVER going to receive a bad attitude just because I needed to extend my car dates. I live in CA, but for those visiting who may end up with a cancelled or delayed flight, this can be EXTREMELY important! No attitude, no snarky remarks, no judgmental faces. Everyone that works here is very kind, friendly, and warm. I highly recommend this place and guarantee that you will have a great experience if you decide to use Value Rental Car. Thank you guys for an easy experience! read more

Great service and prices. This is the best place to rent a car on the cheaper side. Picking up was a breeze. Car was on the older side but still reliable and made it easy to drive in LA traffic since it was compact. It doesn't list it on the website but you can do a late drop-off and they even send you a video on how to do it. Would absolutely rent a car from here again. No scams, no hassle, clean car, close to the airport, and great prices. read more

Beware if you are non smoking and bothered by strong cigarette smoke!!! Be smart and call ahead to request a non smoking car. Ask them straight up if they have a car that doesn't smell like smoke. I have NEVER had to do that for a car rental, but will after this experience. The SUV I got (for myself and two kids for 4 days), had a STRONG cigarette odor! I naively thought giving it a day with the windows open would help (we were exhausted after a delayed flight and confusion getting to the Uber area at LAX...we just wanted to get to our hotel which was over an hr away in rush hr traffic). Unfortunately, the odor was just as nauseating the next day. I called Value Rental. The only options were to waste several hrs driving there and back to return it, or wait in our hotel for pickup (after a few calls they did offer to have someone pick it up). That would have required us to research new rental companies (and only hope we'd be refunded on time to avoid any fraud alerts on my card before booking another), and wait in our hotel for who knows how long for someone to come get the car, then go Uber to take our chances booking a new car. I was told the other option would be to accept $5 MAX off a day. I personally do not think that's enough, especially considering I ended up spending my own time and money on an air freshener (which of course didn't do much). I asked why I was given a smoking car (it was so bad it). I was told it wasn't a smoking car, and that it's their policy not to smoke in the cars, but since they accept cash, there's no way to enforce it...she also suggested I shouldn't expect much anyway since they are older cars. I'll have to disagree with that. I don't think it's too much to expect a safe, clean, smoke free car just because I paid maybe $50 less than I would've at Enterprise (the car also sounded and felt pretty rumbly so I have to wonder how well it was maintained). I decided to just accept the $5 off/day and pick up an air freshener to avoid cutting into our trip. We paid for expensive theme park tickets so every hour mattered. They also charge a full day even if you return it really early in the morning. Ex/If you pick up on a Wed 5pm and return it Sun at 6am, you will be charged for 5 days instead of 4 (no discount for not taking a full day). I don't rent often so maybe that is standard, but I don't recall that at the last place I rented (pretty sure the limit for next day was around noon or even just before the time you picked it up so it's a true day). Our flight was super early the last day, so we returned the car at 6am and was still charged for that whole day (we picked up the car around 3:30 or 4 the first day). The guys who greeted us and processed the pick up were super kind, but the experience with the smoke left a bad taste in my mouth...literally. read more

The thing about Value is that its operated by real down to earth friendly people you can talk to and are actually a pleasure to do business with. This is in stark contrast to what you usually find behind the counter in other car rentals, robotic Darth Vaders. read more

Update: after I wrote the 2-star review I received a $30 credit and apology for the miscommunication, which cost me time, late fees, and the fee itself totaling almost $90. I'm glad they took the situation more seriously after I wrote the review as I couldn't get a response prior to that, which for me is a red flag. Since the average person considering their services are likely to be on a tight budget and can't afford extra fees, I decided to leave this review up. Be aware that if you accidentally drive in an express lane Value Rental Car will charge a $30 "processing fee" to submit paperwork that makes you liable for any toll charges, meaning you have to pay $30 on top of any toll (typically around $25). These can rack up quickly with late fees if you don't realize that you are liable for it. I'm glad Value Rental Car at least responded, hence I added back one star. Hopefully they implement clearer communications and update their contract to clearly state their policies (the policy I signed only states that the renter is liable for parking tickets, and did not mention express lane charges). For me, it was definitely not worth the hassle and the effort to get it straightened out. I have rented cars from the usual corporate places and have had a much better experience overall, so if you can afford better options I would recommend that, to save yourself some hassle. read more

These guys are nothing short of awesome! By far the best car rental company out there hands down. And the guy at the front desk his name is Ali , he was more than helpful and is a shining example of an amazing employee. I hope they know that because of him my experience has been 10X better thank you Value Car Rental please keep it up! You all have a customer for life!! read more

The truth is that I rented the car with them because it seemed like they had good service in the other reviews but in reality it was bad service because they charged me for 1 day that I did not use the car. Also the cars they give are very bad, they gave me a Toyota Corolla with dirty cloth seats and very bad brakes, they shake when braking, the discs are bad, they also charged me for the insurance but if I had an accident the insurance would not cover me, that is a scam read more

They are very nice and flexible. I'm happy to have found them. Used them for a few days for my birthday!

I just had my 2nd flawless car rental from Value Rental Car. Ali is soo helpful! Great customer service and the rental prices are very reasonable! I will definitely be returning for all my future car rentals. read more

Really fast and easy to rent a car at this location! The Staff are super friendly, Would recommend to anyone traveling to LA!

We needed to rent a car for 5 days and Ali helped us out to get a car last minute. We were the last ones that day and he still managed to get us a good car. The car wasn't what we had hoped for but Ali's customer service was excellent and really made the experience worth 5 stars. That man needs a raise! read more

These people saved my a** I didn't have a credit card when I was visiting and they helped me last minute Ali was amazing and I had no problems at all all. If you don't have a credit card and plan on coming to L.A use these people and they are close to the airport and will drop you off read more

Definitely came in clutch when my transmission on my car decided to give out. Ali in the front office definitely helped out in choosing what works for my budget and is an example of how customer service interaction should be about. Both the pickup and the drop off process was seamless, and if I do need a rental again this place is on my to go places now. Thanks again for the service. read more

Ali is either going to win Best Actor next year, or he really is the coolest, kindest, most helpful and accommodating person I've rented a car from, or done any kind of biz with for that matter, maybe like forever. Other staff too, so chill and helpful. I love supporting family businesses anyhow, but when the folks who run them provide optimal service, and are decidedly human---that's the best. The rate was competitive with Priceline deals and the car was a really nice Corolla (since of course the #s matter!). I love Value!! read more

We needed a car for over 2 weeks and the chain establishments simply were too expensive. To my pleasant surprise my husband booked through Value Rental and we had an awesome experience. The office is no frills, clean and welcoming, excellent customer service and great value. They went above and beyond our expectations and are looking forward to renting from them again on our next trip. You guys are a breath of fresh air! read more

I made a reservation a week ago. Today they abruptly email me with no explanation whatsoever; "Reservation cancelled due to unavailability. Sorry for the inconvenience. Value Rental Car" And when I called for a further explanation first they put me on infinity hold, then they didn't answer the phone and let it go to voicemail, then when I finally got a human being she tried to explain that in the summer they get short on cars and they have to cancel reservations (?). I emailed them back and asked if they were a chain or if each office is independently owned because obviously it is terrible customer service to cancel on a customer at the last minute but I obviously needed this for something I didn't just reserve a car for sport. Of course they have not emailed back. Girl bye... I've never rented it from them before so this treatment my first experience with them. Needless to say it was also the last. EDIT: presumably by that response, the owner feels that this is in any way acceptable customer service or acceptable treatment. Yes you did leave me on hold the first call and not answer the second. I don't care how many other people gave you five star reviews. I got terrible service. I disagree with your assessment of the situation, and my review still stands. IN FACT - I think it's extremely bad form to argue with a potential customer and basically calling them a liar instead of just apologizing and figuring out someway to make amends. BOTTOM LINE: Reserve a car here at your own risk because they might call you three days before need to rent and tell you that your reservation is canceled. read more

The people who work here are kind and easy to talk to. They got me in and out in no time and they car that I had was nice and modern. I'll def be going back to them next time I'm in LA! Best part is that they rent to young drivers as long as you have your own insurance! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my weekly rental here (7 days), which I secured for well under 2 bills! Fast & Friendly Personalized Service, and free pick up and drop off. Price was my main selling point here and I received a good gas saver Toyota Yaris. Go here for the Value rental cars without the tourist plates. Small no nonsense rental office. I went to Hertz and Enterprise and they would not accept my Debit Card, Value Rental car does. Personable staff that remembers you by your first name, and had a few chuckles on LA Life, recommended. Pros: No busy lines, no hassles, no vehicle upsells, and fast & personalized service. Debit Card rentals and personal auto insurance accepted. read more

After having a HORRIFIC experience with ACE, I luckily found these guys and couldn't be happier I did. The staff was super accommodating and helpful, and got me a car right away. They made the whole process really easy during a super stressful afternoon, and I couldn't recommend them more. read more

A while back I was in a pinch and needed a rental car right away. I normally shy away from the "Non-Chain" agency's but this time I took a chance. What a great experience. I was greeted by Ali and ushered into a CLEAN office to do my paperwork, which took no time at all. Before I knew it, a REALLY nice car was brought up to the office. Not only is this business clean. SO WAS THE CAR! Upon inspection, this car was not only detailed, but NO SMOKE SMELL (That's important to me). I just have to say, in all the years I have been renting cars on business trips, this has to be the smoothest and fastest rental I have ever done. Communication from beginning to end, OUTSTANDING, Customer service, OUTSTANDING. Even the return was easy and I was on my way. The agency's near LAX are a zoo, always some sort of hassle. When I'm at LAX, this will be my choice for rentals from now on. No more hassle, and the rates are great. I highly recommend them to anyone who want's reliable customer service and a great car at a great rate. Kudo's!!!! I'll definitely be back read more

Great customer service! Customers always come first. The cleanest restrooms in Inglewood! Would recommend to all individuals looking for a rental. read more

I do not recommend anyone rent a vehicle from here. The manager is very rude and prejudice. I was in an accident and I have rental coverage. Because I'm a CA resident I was treated as a "potential car thief" and was told I can't rent unless I have a utility bill or return flight. This is why corporations like Enterprise or Hertz are better because a credit card and my claim information should have sufficed. The location is also very out dated and looks to be infested. read more

Best car rental experience ever ! It was my first trip to LA and I came across their website and saw that they don't charge a young driver's fee, so I gave it a shot. The nicest people ever! They made my trip experience easy and also gave me tips on where to go to explore. Definitely would rent from them again if I go back (: read more

This is a very nice and cheap place if you are looking for a place to get a car. My boyfriend and I went to LA for vacation and needed to get around. We were staying just a couple places away from the place so all we had to do was walk over and grab the car. They were really nice people and made sure we got a vehicle we needed. They even let us keep the car an extra day even though they were closed that day and we just dropped off the car and keys. They didn't have a few for us being under 25 years old which was also a relief. They are a great place, they also have an additional location in Pasadena as well. read more

I agree with the other reviews that this place is great. Given that ratings on Yelp for car rental companies tend to be skewed really low, 4 stars is pretty exceptional for any car rental place. That was more than enough to convince me to check this place out. I rented from them from for 3 days and it was fantastic. Here's what made my experience great (in order of importance to me): - There was no BS. Unlike some other rental car companies, there was nothing shady or sketchy that I experienced here (nonsense charges, trying to sell you things you don't need and insisting that you need them, etc.). Everything was very straightforward and transparent. - The prices were cheap. The base price for 3 days of car rental was like 70 dollars or something like that. That's a pretty good price in my experience. - They're flexible. I only had my debit card and not credit card with me so a lot of the larger companies wouldn't let me rent a car from them (fair enough). When I called Value Rental Car I was promptly told that this wouldn't be a problem. - The owner Ali is a really nice guy. He makes you feel like you are his friend, and that's a good feeling to have from a car rental owner. - It was really nice inside. This probably isn't that important but the entire building, inside and outside, was really new looking. They're a smaller rental car company so they don't have too many cars in the back. Some of the cars are a little bit older (2000's). Personally that didn't really matter to me. The car was in great condition, very clean inside, and ran great. Overall, definitely come here if you're renting near LAX. read more

Value Rental Car is great for college student interns coming in from around the country/world to work in LA over the summer. I searched far and wide for someone to rent to me, a 20-year-old, but no one was willing unless there were unreasonably fees and policies. But Value Rental Car made it clear, affordable, and convenient for someone like me, young, no credit card/credit, and on my father's insurance. From what I could see, it was a small business compared to the major companies, but just as professional. Ali was my retailer and he was efficient and personable. He ran me through the process, inspected the car with me, and stuck to everything he said on the phone when I made the reservation. There were no hidden fees or policies. Everything can either be answered on their website or by a phone call. Pros: Allows month to month rental; Rents to 20 year olds; affordable young driver fee; good cars (for the price, you can't complain); allows you to use your personal insurance as long as it has full coverage (if you're on your parents' insurance, that works too); allows debit card usage if you don't have a credit card; professional and clean environment Cons: There is a 100 mile radius limit of where the car is allowed to travel before you get charged extra (not a problem for me though) Price: $727 for 1 month (28 days) and this includes the young driver fee and all taxes. Oh, and there's also a cute dog they own! *I will modify/append info as my rental experience progresses over the next 2 months. read more

Renting a car from Value is one of the best choices I made during my vacation in LA. Ali the owner is absolutely AMAZING, and will do everything to make sure you have a car that suits your needs. The prices are incredibly fair, the business is honest and it feels like borrowing a car from a close family friend! I had left my credit card in the car when I returned the car and hadn't even noticed. Ali called me to let me know and came to the airport to drop it off before I got on my flight. I really can't thank him enough, and this will be my go to place for future car rentals in the LA area! Choose to rent from Value Rental Car and you won't regret it!!! Thank you so much Ali!! read more

We had an awesome experience renting our car here at Value Rental car. It's our first time going to Cali and Ali took really good care of us. He extended our mileage and gave us an upgrade, he did everything to make sure we have an enjoyable experience here in LA. Definitely would rent again! read more

100% recommend. Prices were cheap and we brought our own insurance instead of having to pay for the insurance they provide so we saved a lot of money. read more

This is the best rental place I've been to good service, reasonable price, very friendly honest informative, I will definitely recommend Ali and come back the next time I'm in town guys if your in Los Angeles area and need of a rental place please please go look for Ali at value rental car. Thanks so much Ali we appreciate you read more

My car was in the shop and I needed a rental car for work, I looked up other places for a car and ended up renting a car from a cheap place near the airport. Worst experience of my life. But I needed to rent a car again, and found Value Rental Car, best experience ever! The location was close, but nowhere near LAX so it wasn't crowded and the staff is family run and Tareq was so helpful. Easiest time ever getting a car. Small place, but no hassle and no hidden prices. It's all listed up front. read more

great prices, great service, best rental car place around, will be back and definitely recommend!

I was in Los Angeles on business travel. Great place to rent a car, great service, I was in and out fast and grabbed a decent vehicle with bluetooth. Uber from the airport was $13 read more

Friendly staff, costs same as other budget car rentals. I was concerned about 100 mile per day limit but got an extra 20 miles per day, which was nice. read more

I will use this company time and time again if they continue with the good service and best prices in the area. I find their prices to be the only fair prices in this specific area. Ali was beyond kind and easy to speak with. The larger vehicle we had booked sadly we were told had been wrecked but we were offered a very nice van or a very nice (but smaller but still enough room for us) car. We took the car and it ended up costing us even less. They have an after hours drop off which helped us a lot as our flight out was about midnight. Thank you for being the best value...Will be back again! read more

We have tried so many car rental places, but value rental car totally blew the other ones out of the water. This place is truly a gem. Customer service is good and cars are nice. Highly recommend. Thank you for helping us have a great trip to California, Value Rental Car! read more

Had a great experience here; rented a car for 2 months for a much better price than the big chain rental companies. The staff are also super friendly and accommodating. A+ would recommend read more

Terrific value. Clean, dependable older car(who needs a new car in L. A. ?)that served its purpose for half the lowest price anywhere else. Friendly folk, went out of the way to drop me at the airport. Will definitely use them again!! read more

Shout out to Ali for getting me an affordable, reliable, rental car with no hassle, I will be back.
