The airport sits between the cities of Irvine, Newport Beach and Costa Mesa, and just south of Santa Ana.

Several car rental companies offer convenience onsite in the Airport. Located between Terminals A and B, just across from the famous John Wayne statue, you'll find car rental counters for Alamo, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, National and Thrifty. In addition to these, off-site rental car companies including Advantage, Fox and Payless pick up their customers and take them via shuttle from the terminal to their locations. The return area at John Wayne Airport is on the lower level of Parking Structures A2 or B2 of the Ground Transportation Center.
