Los Angeles International Airport Rental Car Return To return your Avis rental car, head to 9217 Airport Boulevard, Los Angeles.

When driving to LAX, do NOT follow signs for airline terminals. Instead, look for the green-and-white signs that say “Rental Car Return” with arrows. These signs are placed well in advance on all major freeways (I-105, I-405, Sepulveda Blvd.) leading to the airport.
