KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Stuart

  • Car rentals in Stuart offer enhanced flexibility in traversing the beautiful city with several attractions sites, including parks, museums, and stadia. Buses from Greyhound and Megabus are the popular means of transport in the city but have the limitation of specific routes and destinations. With your rental car, you can just visit any place using any route as deemed appropriate. Clover Park, located about 1.5 miles from the city center, is one of the great stadia in Stuart, where you can visit with or without children using your rental car.
  • While driving in a new city can be daunting, becoming comfortable with the main roads can help put your mind at ease. Whether through consulting maps, mobile GPS, or local resources, take steps to familiarize yourself with the area before taking cheap car rentals in Stuart on the road. For instance, Kanner Highway is a major highway that runs through Stuart and experiences heavy traffic volume, especially during rush hour. It also has several exits and merges, which require drivers to be extra cautious while changing lanes.
  • When you arrive at Vero Beach (VRB) Airport, which is the nearest airport to Stuart, consider renting a car from any of your preferred Stuart car rentals, including Hertz, Budget, Avis, Thrifty, and Enterprise. Avis Car Rental has its airport office, in the Arrival Hall, inside the terminal building located along Cherokee Drive. Other car rentals in Stuart that do not have offices within the airport have shuttles, which ferry travelers from the airport to their offices. These car rental shuttles are accessible from outside the baggage claim area.
  • Rental car companies frequently need you to present identification verifying that you are at least 21 years when renting Stuart car rentals. However, certain businesses could have a minimum age requirement of 25 for renters.  Reviewing the age limits and policies of the specific rental car provider is essential as additional costs may also apply to renters under the age of 25. In addition, younger drivers renting a car might have to pay greater security deposits or provide more insurance proof, among other extra restrictions and fees.
  • You need to be more observant when driving within the central business district of Stuart because many of the pedestrians commonly jump into roads without warning. If you are driving along SW Lost River Road in Stuart, you have to be careful not to hit cyclists who use this road in large numbers. Many of the cyclists along this road are either heading to or coming from Halpatiokee Regional Park, which is Martin County’s largest park.
  • To make your time on the road as enjoyable as possible, it's advisable to be aware of any potential roadblocks that may cause delays. By staying informed of any changes to traffic patterns or lane closures, you can proactively adjust your route and make for more pleasant driving in cheap car rentals in Stuart while knowing where to exercise more caution. Dixie Highway, for example, is known for its congested lanes and several steep twists, which can be difficult for drivers unfamiliar with the area to traverse.
  • During the Annual Downtown Art Festival, which occurs in February, using car rentals in Stuart can be quite difficulty. This is because Stuart receives a large number of visitors from different states and countries. The traffic on most roads within the city gets heavier during this event. Similarly, you will experience difficulties driving your rental car in Stuart during the rush hour period, which is from 7 am to 9 am in the morning and from 4 pm to 7 pm in the evening.

Cons:

It took several attempts to acquire roadside assistance for a flat tire, which was flat but still holding air when we picked up the vehicle. We were traveling, but were told we either have to return home or go to another facility which was far to get the tire changed. We got no help from the dealership where we rented the vehicle, and it took three attempts to finally get the help we needed.

The rental cost me a great price, $24.98 and then they charged me $42.00 for gas. I asked at the office when picking up the rental if there were gas stations around the airport to refuel. I was told there plenty. News flash, not one gas station near the airport to refuel. They took advantage of my unfamiliarity of the Fort Lauderdale area. Their business practice was not honest and very unfair! Mind you, I only used a little more than 1/4 tank of gas in a Toyota Yaris.
