KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Port St. Lucie
While Port St. Lucie does have public transportation, the routes are limited, making it a less viable option for exploring the city. What’s more, the city is so well-placed centrally on the eastern coast of Florida, that it invites visitors to explore the surrounding area; essentially, securing a car rental in Port St. Lucie is a great way to take advantage of the opportunities for tourism and adventure available. A personal vehicle will also provide you with the luxury of time flexibility—arrive at your destination when you want, then leave when you want.
When heading to Port St. Lucie via plane, you’ll land at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI). Here at the airport, you’ll find a number of available car rental companies, including Hertz, National, Enterprise, Alamo, Budget, Thrifty and more. To find the rental company service desks, go to level one of the terminal and head toward the exit. Here, you will be able to check in for your Port St. Lucie car rental.
With a rich aquatic environment and a fun downtown scene, visitors to Port St. Lucie will want to keep alert, especially on the city’s many bridges, and look out for pedestrians that are enjoying neighborhoods replete with shops and restaurants. While there are marked crosswalks, you will find that many people choose to cross at unmarked spots along the roads. Additionally, since there are many waterways running through the city, you’ll find that traffic patterns are focused along a handful of routes.
While you are visiting the city, take advantage of the commuting flexibility that a car rental in Port St. Lucie affords you and try to travel outside of the city’s rush hours.

FAQs about car hire in Port St. Lucie

In the sweltering and humid weather of central and southern Florida, it’s a great benefit to have a vehicle with good air conditioning, especially from spring through fall when temperatures are exceedingly high. Because of this, we recommend a sedan, which also grants you the added agility and comfort you may want for navigating city roads that have quite a few bridges.

Budget has always been my 1st choice for car rental. The Port St. Lucie and the West Palm beach staff are always friendly and accommodating when renting from their location. Some of the others could take a refresher's course on how to treat people. Again, never any surprises, with the exception of this rental 28-30th Jan 25 as the pick up rental price was different that the drop off, closing out the contract.
Great customer service from the staff, and the car was just what we needed for our trip.

The staff at Miami and PSL branches were very helpful and accommodating. I had some trouble returning the car due to some confusing signage, but they went out of their way to stay late and support me so that I could drop the car off after hours. I really appreciate it!
Some Port St. Lucie car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Port St. Lucie.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Port St. Lucie car hire.
