KAYAK’s top tips for renting 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. During the mornings, you can expect increased traffic between about 7am and about 9am. Toward the end of the workday, traffic increases again between roughly 4pm and 6pm.
When getting cheap car rentals in Port St. Lucie, it will be necessary to have personal injury protection and property damage liability insurance, both of which are mandatory in Florida. The most convenient way to get these insurance covers is through the car rental company, which can include the insurance policy in the basic car rental contract. However, if you already have a personal automobile insurance policy, the coverage will extend to your Port St. Lucie car rental. Book your car rental through KAYAK to view the various insurance policy provisions by car rental companies in St. Lucie.
When driving your cheap car rentals in Port St. Lucie, you are likely to come across several swale liners that aid in the management of water by directing stormwater. It is important to ensure that you do not drive over the swale liners as they are important in the city’s water management system. Also, be aware of driveway culverts when driving in residential areas as driving over them carelessly can cause them to crack and incur huge losses on the homeowner.
When driving cheap car rentals in Port St. Lucie, make sure to use the vehicle’s provided onboard GPS or mobile phone location service to track traffic through the area and plan your commute around times where there is minimal traffic along the road. This is especially the case along the US-1 highway which passes through the city and has some of the busiest intersections in town, such as the Prima Vista Blvd and US-1 intersection. Be consistently aware of your surroundings when passing through intersections on the US-1 highway, and always use your turn signaling to promote safe driving.

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!
