I'm about to get an L-1A work visa and will be moving to LA soon!
Am very excited but am aware that my first 2 challenges are house and car. My company is going to put me up in a temporary apartment to start with, but I know I'll need a car.
1) Does anyone know a good company for long term rentals? I know you can go to Hertz, but $1200 a month for a car seems a lot to me.
2) For the apartment will we be able to rent somewhere without a credit history and if so where should we look?
Best,
K

You can rent a car for a few days, and look to buy a car during that time (craigslist, cars, autotrader, etc.)
You can also find rental apartments on craigslist and local classifieds.

Probably not, but please check with Department of Motor Vehicles in CA.
If you already have a UK drivers license then it shouldn't be a problem to get one in California, in the meantime use the rental, until you get a California license and find a car to buy.
