Destin car rentals from $31/day

Since the city is small and has many tight roads, a compact car is a convenient choice for your Destin car rental. A smaller model will make it easier to park when space is limited, and it will help you to clearly navigate through the town’s narrow streets.

When you’re driving near Destin, the speed limit on Highway 98 is generally between 35 to 40mph. However, in some areas, you can plan on it being as low as 25mph. Within the city itself, speed limits are on average 25mph, but some streets have limits as low as 7mph. Major intersections often have video cameras, so avoid speeding to not receive a ticket. There are usually many police officers stationed along Highways 98 and 293, so you’ll want to be careful when driving there as well.

While it is possible to find some free street parking, it can be difficult to snag them. The City of Destin offers quite a few paid parking options for a flat rate of $5 per 24h.

To rent a car in Destin, you will be required to produce a valid driver’s license issued in your state or country of origin. Of course, you will also need to provide a means through which you will pay for the car rental. Pretty much all Destin car rental companies accept credit cards. As a standard safety procedure, the car rental company will run a background check on you before renting out their car to you. So, if you have an unresolved issue with the law, or if you have a rich criminal history, then you may have a bit of trouble renting with them.

Most car rental companies prefer doing business with renters who are at least 25 years or older. However, younger clients can also rent with them. However, this usually comes at a surcharge. It helps to find out if the Destin car rental company you are about to get in business with will apply a surcharge on you before making your reservation.
