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.

Agent Romy at location V8Z was exceptionally helpful. He was patient enough to educate me on my first experience with a hybrid vehicle and again when I had to extend my rental. I needed a vehicle while waiting for a new engine in my own car--a very stressful situation. Romy made it much easier for me. Thank you. I work for a car repair shop; I'll be referring anyone who needs a rental to you.

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!!!
I arrived at Avis at 12:45pm and the counter was closed and no one was there. The sign said they should have been open until 1pm. I was unable to pick up my reservation. I instead had to book a same-day rental at a location 45 minutes north.
Some Palm Coast 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 Palm Coast.
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 Palm Coast car hire.
