I'll be in LA from Jan 3rd-25th and will need to rent a car while I'm there. I'm planning to drive to Vegas and San Francisco on the weekends. A friend recommended the app Turo for affordable rentals, has anyone used it before or knows of other budget-friendly options for car rentals in the area?

Would love any advice! Thanks in advance!

turo is fine for longer rentals like yours, just check the host's rating and read their specific rules. some hosts charge crazy cleaning fees or have mileage limits that'll kill u on a vegas trip. honestly for 3 weeks I'd look at a monthly rental from enterprise or hertz in like burbank or glendale instead of LAX - way cheaper and less bs with airport fees. also check costco travel if you have a membership, they sometimes have solid rates that include a second driver for free

honestly the airport surcharge at LAX is brutal, you're paying like $30-40 a day just in fees before the actual rental cost. if you're doing vegas and SF you'll rack up miles fast so unlimited mileage is non-negotiable. i'd check the hertz or enterprise location on sepulveda near the airport instead of the actual terminal, way less fees and they'll shuttle you over. also january is pretty mild so you don't need anything fancy, a corolla or civic will do fine for those highway drives

Depends on your trip length and budget. For a short trip, grabbing something from LAX might be easiest. Longer trips? Check out some of the off-airport rental places, you'll often find better deals. And always, always read the fine print on insurance.

How can I find mobile hot dog vendors for a private event?

These vendors typically operate from portable carts or vehicles at public gatherings. Does anyone have information on how to contact such vendors or recommendations for reliable services?

honestly the SGV has a ton of licensed cart operators who mostly do private stuff now. look up "hot dog cart catering San Gabriel Valley" on Yelp and you'll get a handful that are fully permitted, which matters if your venue needs a health permit on file. expect around $400 to $700 for a few hours plus a per person minimum, usually 50 or so. the ones based in Alhambra and Rosemead tend to be cheaper than Pasadena because they're not paying that rent.

fwiw the county health dept keeps a public list of permitted mobile food operators, its searchable by city on the LA County Public Health site. filter for "pushcart" or "MFF" and you'll get vendors cleared for SGV zip codes, which saves you the headache of a venue asking for paperwork later. also worth checking with the Old Town Monrovia or Alhambra farmers market folks, the carts there are usually booked solid but they know who's free and they'll pass along names. just dont wait till the last week, good ones book out 2 to 3 weeks in teh summer.

You could try hitting up the folks who set up outside Home Depot or the DMV in El Monte on weekends, a lot of those carts are owner operated and they'll do private gigs if you ask. Just walk up and grab a card, they usually have one taped to the cart.
