Nowadays, you can probably do all your getting around using Lyft (or any other ride service) and it will be cheaper and less stressful than renting a car.
If you are going to be doing long commutes (like from Orange County to the Valley) then it is a different story and car might make more sense.
What places are you visiting, where will you be staying?
around convention center, will probably try to go do touristy stuff and maybe go to santa monica. Unlikely to go as far as orange county. I guess lyft or uber is probably the easier thing to do now.
Flying out on Sunday, just trying to figure if I should leave from LAX or LGB, since I heard that traffic around LAX is pretty bad these days.
