Car Rentals LAX and Sunset Boulevard

Sunset Boulevard, one of the world's most famous streets, served originally as a route between two divergent worlds whcih you can see with your car rental LAX. The Boulevard still links the gritty, urban streets of downtown Hollywood to the lush, green, residential avenues of Beverly Hills. Sunset Boulevard is part of Hollywood legend; the inspiration for countless songs, movies & TV shows.

Travel down history

Sunset Boulevard is a long, four-lane winding road which begins in downtown Los Angeles, runs westward over 20 miles to the Pacific. When you visit with your car rental LAX, you will want to pay attention to the road! Sunset Boulevard passes through Hollywood, and then becomes the Sunset Strip as it passes through West Hollywood, weaves its way through Beverly Hills and Bel-Air, winds its way through the rustic foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, and finally ends at the Pacific Ocean near Malibu. Over the course of those 20 miles, the boulevard's personality undergoes several radical transformations.

Learn about recording

Sunset Boulevard is often referred to as the Guitar Center or 'Guitar Row' in West Hollywood due to the large number of guitar stores and music industry-related businesses, including the legendary recording studios Sunset Sound Studios and United Western Recorders.
