KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Palm Coast

  • Palm Coast is one of the main Daytona Beach spots located along the scenic A1A River and the River to Sea Preserve. You’ll want to book your Palm Coast car rental to take advantage of all that the area’s golf resorts and nature preserves have to offer. Your car rentals in Palm Coast will allow you to carry all the gear you need to tee off the day at Hammock Dunes Club and Links Golf Course, fish in the Intracoastal Waterway, take a hike in the Palm Coast harbor, and spot rare endangered birds along Florida's Great Birding Trail or plan a beach day of lounging in the sun and snorkeling the ocean’s crystalline waters. Maybe you even want to take a day trip to Orlando to visit the city's many amusement parks, less than 1h 30min away.
  • Daytona Beach Airport is the closest place to fly into Palm Coast. Most rental car companies have their rental counters located directly inside the main terminal of the Daytona Beach Airport. The counters are located on the first level directly across from the baggage claim areas.
  • Palm Coast is served by Interstate 95, which crosses the city from north to south. Alternatively, U.S. Route 1 runs parallel to I-95 through the western side of the city. The city is not well equipped for pedestrians, with efforts to install more streetlights and sidewalks throughout the city. Please drive carefully through residential areas and be mindful of pedestrians who may step out into the road without warning. Pedestrians around the A1A and Flagler Beach for example are quite common. There are also several cycling routes to beware of, around the Marina and Matanzas Inlet, Highbridge areas, and from Hammock to Flagler. Please be mindful of respectfully sharing the road with cyclists around these areas.
  • The I-95 tends to get quite congested during the morning rush hour from 7am to 10am around the Palm Coast Parkway interchange. Within the city limits, the intersection around Old Kings Road gets quite backed up during rush hour as well. Please plan your trip accordingly and seek out alternative routes if possible. Be mindful of these times if you are catching a flight or on a tight schedule.
  • Mini hire cars in Palm Coast are around 31% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about car hire in Palm Coast

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Palm Coast?

    This might be the perfect trip to try a convertible for your car rental in Palm Coast, to enjoy the perfect sunny Florida weather as you check out the beautiful scenic roadways along the coastline. If you want more space for your golf or fishing gear, check out an intermediate or standard SUV car rental instead.

  • What’s the speed limit in Palm Coast?

    The speed limit in Palm Coast is 25mph, while on the highways across most of Florida the speed limit is 60mph. Please note that there are speed cameras located heading south on Northwest 8th Street at West Boynton Beach Blvd as well as heading east on Boynton Beach Blvd at North Seacrest Blvd, drive carefully around these areas.

  • Where are the best places to park in Palm Coast?

    Parking throughout Palm Coast as well as along the beachfront is free, although may fill up quickly in the summer months when the beach access is in high demand. Check out the St. Joe Public Parking lot on Palm Harbor Parkway or the parking lot on Old Kings Road, both are within walking distance to the Intracoastal Waterway and have direct access to the Matanza River.

    Car hire companies onsite at Orlando airport include Budget, Alamo, Sixt, GREEN MOTION, Blue Auto Trading, APM Rent a Car, Easirent, OtoQ Car Rental, Yesaway and Final Rentals.

I will never use Budget again for my rental needs... The Reservation I made for a Ford Transit passenger van, was not honored. I received a call from local agent a few hours before scheduled pickup, who stated that they were sold out of the vehicle I had "RESERVED"... What's the point of making a reservation, when most of the car rental companies, OVERBOOK their vehicles, Just like the airlines!!! Very dissatisfied customer!!!

Pros:

Drop off was easy and the car was comfy.

Cons:

I made a reservation for a compact car the day before at a specific location and I get to the pickup location and they tell me I have to drive another 15 minutes to another location because they were out of compact cars. That part was fine but a heads up ahead of time would’ve been great. The car I was given at the new location was dirty. The trunk was full of old receipts, a roll of raffle tickets and other trash. The cashier at the new location tried to charge me 30 dollars more than i was quoted. Luckily I caught it before he ran my card.

Car was dirty, had been smoked in and was just rough in general. The cost of the rental was very high in my experience.

Pros:

staff at pick up was okay; polite; did not appear knowledgeable about the car nor have time to provide more than perfunctory direction to the best route to the hwy. staff at drop off was rude

Cons:

the car was quite comfortable. the dash board lights were very bright resulting in dangerous discomfort and distraction at night. the radio was of very low quality and also shined brightly. I tried, unsuccessfully, to reduce the brightness.

Pros:

Nothing, this was a terrible experience.

Cons:

When I arrived at hertz, they made me wait over an hour as they didn't have any cars available and someone had to drive it from jacksonville. Then, there was inflexibility when I wanted to change my drop off location. They wouldn't let me even during difficult times like COVID. Then, I received erroneous additional charges on my credit card. Horrible experience. And customer service was incredibly rude.
