Car Rental in Newport Beach, CA

“This was our 2nd time traveling and I forgot my credit card at home. They were very willing and helpful on this. So instead of starting our vacation with a bad start we were able to get our car as well as a ride to and from the airport. Couldn't be happier with there service. Would definitely recommend this company for everyone traveling to John Wayne airport, just remember to call when you get here and they come and get you. Fantastic experience”

“This is a great company. I rented a new Mercedes Sprinter Van. It was clean and neat inside. We took a trip to San Francisco for 10 people. I spoke with Moe and he was very nice and down to earth. I appreciated his kindness. I met Nick at the front desk , and he was also very nice and professional. We were in and out of there in less than 15 minutes to pick up the van. It was a pleasure doing business with this company. I will definitely use this company again.”

“Just finished a one week rental with this Enterprise location and it was the most positive rental experience I’ve had anywhere. Staff was very responsive by phone and very helpful when there to pick everything up. Staff was also very helpful, kind, and professional. Will definitely remember this experience and rent here in the future.”

“This place SAVED us. This was my sons 1st vacation and trip to Disneyland & Knotts Berry Farm pre-arranged weeks prior.
I had set up a rental through Expedia. I am sharing how I got connected to AM/PM rent a car first.
Expedia connected me to a place called "U-SAVE" for my mid-size rental. The lady who picked us up from the airport was great. She was kind, friendly, patient with us but she turned us over to the guy who was not so nice at "U-SAVE". My son said he must have a bad life since he was not so nice to people. To my surprise I learned that he wouldn't take a debit card or cash. They would only take a credit card for the $500 deposit and the 5-day rate of the rental car. I tried calling a family member to get them to cover it, I tried to use my credit card for the $500 deposit and use my debit for the rest since I didn't have much available but that guy said "NO!!! YOU PAY ONLY WITH A CREDIT CARD. SORRY THEY SHOULDHAVE TOLD YOU. YOU CAN CONTACT EXPEDIA, THEY WILL HELP YOU GET ANOTHER RENTAL SOMEWHERE ELSE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU. AVIS HAS RENTALS CALL THEM". I told him "I could only pay the amount I agreed to pay for a reason. I couldn't afford anywhere else. Especially after buying the package for our flights, hotel, Disneyland, and Knotts Berry Farm. I was upset because I planned so many details to make this the best and the smoothest trip with minimum chaos. This is about my kid having a nice first vacation. We need a car to drive to these places we have tockets and reservations for". He huffed and puffed outloud. He seemed to be stressed by the previous customer happenings in the office before we had arrived.
Tears streamed down my face as I sat there exhausted from the early flight as I was scrolling through my phone looking for availabilityprices at other places. My son asked "What's wrong Momma why are you crying?" I TOLD HIM "I just wanted to take you on a fun and special first vacation but nothing is working out now. If we don't have a car I have no way to get us there. I am sorry baby". Then the grouchy man from U-SAVE said "Maybe, I can see if this guy at another place has a car and will honor your original price. I believe he will take your debit card". That is when he called AM/PM Rent a Car, hung up looked at us and said "He agreed" then grabbed our suitcases and set them out on the curb. As he walked away he said "He will be here in 10-15-minutes for you to take you to get rental". Then walked away. FYI, I reviewed U-SAVE separately.
The nice man from AM/PM showed up helped put our suitcases put in the trunk, then took us a few blocks away to their office and hooked us up with a nice Kia Forte for my original quoted price with roughly $40 extra for the ins I bought.
My kid was even messing with their computer printing things up somehow, grabbing and touching everything he saw (he has ADHD/ASD/Sensory seeking behavior) and
these folks were still AWESOME. They were smiling, patient, helpful and were reassuring me everything was going to be good. When we brought the car back he drove us back to the airport to drop us off on time for check in.
They are a smaller place and definitely are the people you should see when your in town and needing a car. I told him this morning that I was going to do a review for making this happen for us. They never asked me to do one. I just wanted to express my gratitude and send some business their way. In my family customer service goes a
REALLY long way.
Thanks again AM/PM Rent a Car. My son who's 6 told him at the airport "I'm giving you a 5 star review too. Yes, that is 5 Stars for you" and he thanked us.”

“I can't thank Explore Daily Exotics enough for loaning the Ferrari 488 to my fiancé and I! The process was very seamless and Mike dropped the car off at our place and even had it detailed! The car was definitely a showstopper when we took it out to dinner and drove it around OC for the weekend.If you are looking for a stress free fun car rental, definitely recommend Explore Daily Exotics! 10/10”

“Autochoice made my car buying experience the best and easiest I ever had. They made it simple for me to get the most for my trade in vehicle and get an amazing deal on a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. If you're unsure you want to visit tons of dealerships for your next car then you should just use Autochoice instead. They make it transparent and easy!”

“Nick from Go Rentals is awesome. Extremely professional and responsive company that goes above and beyond for guests. Worth renting from them for high quality cars and service.”

“This is a wonderful Enterprise. I just dropped off my rent a car today 11/28/25. I had no problems what so ever. Especially a car hit me hard while in their rent a car and it was completely the other drivers fault. They showed nothing but kindness, care, compassion and professionalism. Lexi and Kyle were especially wonderful. I could not have done this without their help. They should be acknowledged for what amazing, helpful employees they are. Highly recommend this Enterprise. You will not be disappointed.”

“I rented a car here while my car was being repaired after a hit and run. What could be an annoying/somewhat stressful situation was made very easy and enjoyable by Asia and the other staff here who set me up with a nice rental and called me to make sure I was happy with it. Asia is exceptionally kind and professional and communicated very promptly and clearly with me throughout the almost month I had a rental. Asia and the other person who called me were very accommodating of my schedule. Really a great experience. Thank you!”

“I am amazed at the work ethic and dedication to her team by employee Breezy. She is professional and kind. Works amazing under pressure. She is short staffed but, doesn't skim on service for her clients. Leader like her are few and far between. This enterprise is special! Ty Breezy and team for a wonderful experience during this chaotic holiday season!”

“Fantastic experience with United! The staff are kind, professional and courteous. The prices were reasonable, no waiting, everything was perfect! They even let me leave the car at the airport because my flight was outside agency hours. Outstanding rental agency! Above & beyond!!! I would give them 10 stars if I could. My new go-to when flying into SNA.”
