Rare Smokeyham Posted May 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hello, We will be on a Princess Cruise in October, and will be docking the pier normally used by Carnival, by the Queen Mary (not the usual Princess pier in San Pedro). I'd like to rent a car for the day and like the idea of Enterprise Rental's pick up service. Looking online I see the nearest office is located at: 438 W Ocean Blvd Long Beach, CA 90802. Has anyone had Enterprise pick them up from this pier? If so, how was your experience, and how did you describe the location when you made your online booking? Are there any other options I should consider? I want to explore some old haunts from when I lived in the area, so public transit would not be a good option. Thanks for any ideas.

JoJoFace Posted June 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I'm wondering about this too. It seems there is another enterprise location at 235 W 6TH ST SAN PEDRO, CA 90731-3315 which looks to be just a 15 min. walk from the World Cruise Center terminal in San Pedro. I'm wondering if it will be easier to walk there, than to coordinate a pick-up. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Smokeyham Posted June 27, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Looking at the map (and having worked there many years ago), it seems that it should be walkable from the World Cruise Center (located on the top right of the attached map), to the location on 235 West 6th Street (shown as "Point A") on the attached. Walking directions on Google maps says this is 0.8 of a mile. I'm wondering about this too.

Your cruise will dock in Long Beach, next to the Queen Mary, not at the World Cruise Center in San Pedro. It seems that when Princess stops in LA for the day, they will dock in Long Beach, but for beginning or end of cruise, Princess docks in San Pedro. You might want to call Enterprise's Long Beach office and confirm they will pick up. Edited June 27, 2014 by Rosefloater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know mine (Princess) will be docking by the Queen Mary in Long Beach, so yes - the Long Enterprise office would be the closest for me. JoJoFace - Can you tell us which pier your ship will be docking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreezingInMichigan Posted July 20, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 20, 2014 We used them for our Carnival cruise in 2011 and they were wonderful. On the front end of the cruise, we rented in LA and dropped it at the LB office. After we turned our in the car, they drove us directly to the pier to catch our cruise. On the back end, they picked us up at the port and drove us back to their office to complete the paperwork for another weekend rental. We're considering another Carnival/Mexico cruise in February and would definitely use them again. ~ Sheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have to specify anything specific for the pick up location when you filled out the online form for your second rental? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
