You can maneuver around the city via our alleged public transportation system. Millions of people do everyday. But should you? In some parts of the city it's not a good idea.
Plan your trip within walking distance of your hotel. Bicycling is an option, but with all the crazy drivers be extra cautious. Hey, maybe there's someplace you can rent a Segeway! How cool would that be?
You could take a taxi to some of the places you want to go, but it could get pricey.
I'd say, stay somewhere near the beach and just kick it.

Enjoy vacation without a car, is a question. There are public transportation however if you're not familiar with the place then you might get lost. Plus you'll be wasting your time waiting for bus. Another thing is buses dont have 24 hr service. Taxi could be expensive too. Life here in CA without a car sucks.

Okay, so you know you need a car to get around but you don't drive. One way to vacation there is to just stay at a beach hotel and stay around that area. You can easily rent a bike there and just bike along the beach. There's a bike path that runs through all the nice beach cities. You can also rent kayaks and sailboats. Then maybe you can have the hotel concierge book you on a tour to the usual attractions like Hollywood, etc.

Stay in Santa Monica. Lots of fun things to do within walking distance. 3rd st. the beach, the pier. the big Blue Bus (the Santa Monica bus system) is easy to use and will go to most of the attractions on the west side that you might enjoy. (UCLA the Getty). Good restaurants on main St. and Montana Ave. You could spend an entire vacation in that area and never need to drive ( you may want to bus it a few places but you wouldn't have too)

Check out the Grafton on Sunset. They offer a complimentary shuttle for everything within a 2 mile radius. That'll get you to the touristy spots in Melrose or Hollywood. And from Hollywood you can take the Subway to Universal City, Long Beach or Downtown. The hotel is right on the Sunset Strip, so plenty to do at night!

Sure you could. You could always take a shuttle from the airport to the hotel. Then depending on where you want to go, you get a hotel within walking distance. Also, some attractions have shuttles that take you there. I would talk to a travel agent for the best suggestions. You might even try AAA if you are a member or someone you know is.
