About CMW Car Rentals
We are a neighborhood car rental company in Kearny Mesa built around simple rules: answer the phone, keep the process clear, and give drivers a rental experience that works for real life.
Local service with clear rules
CMW Car Rentals serves San Diego and the greater Los Angeles area from 7789 Othello Ave. in Kearny Mesa. The business focuses on direct support, unlimited mileage, and rental options that fit students, families, travelers, and long-term customers.
For more than 20 years, our approach has stayed the same: make it easy to talk to a real person, keep the paperwork straightforward, and provide well-maintained vehicles without the kind of surprise charges that frustrate renters.
We rent to drivers 18 and older, accept cash, debit, and credit cards, and honor international licenses. After-hours phone and text support is available for existing customers. Airport pickup and drop-off are not offered, which keeps us focused on the local neighborhood pickup experience.

Simple promises that matter to renters
The site is designed to give people direct answers quickly. The same applies to how we work in person: clear policies, straightforward support, and a local team that answers the phone.
Real People
You get a local team member on the phone, not an airport counter script. That matters when you need details about age rules, payment, or vehicle availability.
Flexible Rentals
Daily, weekly, and monthly rentals are available, with unlimited mileage and options that fit short trips, long stays, and insurance replacement needs.
Local Focus
We stay focused on San Diego neighborhoods and the greater Los Angeles area instead of pretending to be everything to everyone.
