How to rent a car by the month in Los Angeles
Monthly car rental in Los Angeles starts from $1,200/month at LVLX Rentals — compared to $2,400–$4,500/month at Hertz, Enterprise, or Avis for a far less premium car. The minimum rental period is 2 weeks. No credit check required. International licenses accepted. Same-day pickup at LAX (zip 90045) or Hollywood (zip 90028).
Los Angeles is a car city. There is no practical alternative. If you are staying for more than two weeks, renting a car by the month is the single best financial decision you can make — and choosing the right provider determines whether that experience is seamless or stressful.
This guide covers everything about monthly car rental Los Angeles — costs, what is included, how the process works, which cars to choose, and why LVLX beats the alternatives for long-term stays.

International clients from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and South America regularly rent from LVLX using their home country license. No US license or SSN required.

Which car to choose for a month in Los Angeles
For solo travelers and couples: BMW M4 Cabriolet or Mercedes CLA 250
The BMW M4 Cabriolet is the quintessential LA car — top down on Pacific Coast Highway, park it on Rodeo Drive. The Mercedes-Benz CLA 250 is the refined daily driver: understated luxury, easy to park, exceptional on the freeway.
For families and groups: BMW X7
The BMW X7 seats 7 and rides like a flagship sedan. It handles LAX airport runs, Disneyland day trips, and canyon road weekends equally well. The only 7-seat luxury SUV in the LVLX fleet.
For executives: Mercedes GLE 53 AMG or Range Rover Sport
The Mercedes-Benz GLE 53 AMG is the executive choice — AMG performance in a full-size SUV, commanding in any Beverly Hills valet line. The Range Rover Sport adds British luxury and genuine off-road capability for weekend Malibu runs.
For budget-conscious luxury: Audi Q3 or BMW 330i
The Audi Q3 delivers premium quality at entry-level luxury pricing — from $1,900/month. The BMW 330i is the driver's sedan: sport mode engaged, the most engaging daily driver in the fleet.
Monthly rental vs daily rental: the real math

| Hertz / Enterprise daily | $2,400–$4,500 | Mid-range economy | Daily |
| Turo (peer-to-peer) | $1,800–$5,000 | Variable, no guarantee | Per-trip |
| Car lease | $600–$1,500 | New car | Locked 24–36 months |
For stays under 6 months, leasing is impractical. For stays of 2 weeks to 6 months, long-term car rental in Los Angeles through LVLX is both cheaper than daily rental and more flexible than any lease. For a full overview of available vehicles, see the complete fleet →
