KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Key West
Car rentals in Key West make it easy to visit nearby attractions both within and outside of the city. The scenic Bahia Honda State Park can be found just 35 miles outside of the city limits, along with many other small islands that are fun to explore, and driving is a convenient way to get to all of these. If you want to go on a day trip, you can head to Key Largo, a popular destination that’s about a 2h drive away. Key West car rentals will provide you with a lot of flexibility and independence.
To find Key West International Airport’s rental car center, simply head to the baggage claim area in the arrivals terminal. As the center is located inside of the airport, there is no need to take a shuttle to the location. There are several different companies for you to choose from for car rentals in Key West, with Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz being a handful of the options available.
Key West is filled with many small streets and cul-de-sacs, so adding a GPS to your rental car can be a convenient choice to help prevent you from getting lost. As it is a beach town that is known for having beautiful weather, there are also quite a few pedestrians and cyclists out and about, particularly in the city center and along the coast, so make sure to keep your eyes open for them when you’re behind the wheel.
There is one main street to get in and out of Key West, and it is known as Highway 1. During rush hour, Highway 1 often becomes congested with commuters traveling in and out of the city, so try to avoid driving between 7:30-9:30am and 4-6pm. This road also frequently has a high amount of traffic during the summer months, as this is when visitors come to Key West to soak up some sun and spend time at the beach. If you’re on a schedule or catching a flight, keep these times in mind to avoid delays.

It was a good rental. The only problem we had was after flight delay and we landed in Key West the Budget rental booth was closed! We had to go to the Hertz booth to rent a car to get us to our house.

At our initial pickup in Key West, FL we were given a very nice Mazda. Unfortunately we later ran over a screw and could no longer keep the tire inflated. We had to change cars in Jacksonville, FL, but were not offered similar choices. The car we accepted, a Toyota, had less power, less comfort, and only one intermittent wiper speed, which was really a problem with precipitation that varied tremendously from place to place and even minute to minute. We later discovered that the Toyota had no windshield wiper fluid, that someone had wiped the inside of the windshield with a rag (so we couldn't completely clean it with fluid anyway), and it's Maintenance Needed alert came on. We decided to trade cars again in Philadelphia, PA, but were only offered a Dodge Charger which would likely have had much worse gas mileage and was too big for easy parking. But the local agency couldn't find its keys! We convinced an employee to fill our wiper fluid and elected not to change from the Toyota after all. (We also asked him to clean the inside of the windshield, but that wasn't done!) A couple of days later the Philadelphia agency called us, apparently still so dumbfounded by the missing key that they didn't even realize we hadn't taken the Dodge off their lot. Finally, even though we told the agent in Key West we wanted toll coverage, she apparently didn't set it up. The agency in Philadelphia discovered this by which time we had already gone thru several tolls. That agency allegedly corrected the matter, but we won't know for sure if that's true until all the billing is settled and we see that our tolls are all covered by our agreement. Overall all these experiences left a poor taste in our mouth.

Easy pick up. Car had a damaged bumper when I picked it up, but it was documented. When dropping it off at the end point, they questioned the bumper multiple times and made it seem like it never should have been on the road.

Key West had few cars because of recent storms. A relatively valid excuse. Your staff was not at all helpful seeking alternate solutions. Eventually after about two hours we were given an adequate vehicle which still smelled of cigarette smoke. The return was easy.

The Hertz location where I was supposed to drop off the car was closed and I didn't know exactly what to do. I wish the employee had told me this when I picked up the car in Key West. There shouldn't be any ambiguity when dealing with a car.
