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.
  • Book your car hire in Palm Coast at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Palm Coast are around 65% cheaper than other car types, on average

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

4.0 Mediocre

Anonymous, Apr 2021

KAYAK

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.

2.0 Poor

KAYAK

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.

First off they called me at 10 AM as I was leaving to pick up my rental and said they did not have any cars and possibly by 1PM they would have some. My scheduled pick up time 10 AM. I had a flight I needed to catch so I had to book with Avis near me and it cost me $ 67 more money in addition to screwing up my schedule and stressing to figure a way to get to my flight. I told them I would call back to cancel if I found something else. I tried to call the number from which they called me. I dialed the number picked up and then there was nothing and the phone disconnected. I called back got automated connection that gave me a couple of options but none were to cancel. So you ask me how it was ....it sucked I am pissed and I should have used Turo.

They did not have the car we reserved. In fact they had no cars available. They sent us to another Avis and they did not have the same type of car available so instead of honoring our price with an upgrade to the vehicle they had, they were going to charge us an additional $200. We will never rent from Avis again. Very disappointed.

Car hire insurance in Palm Coast

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver

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.

Deductible

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.
