KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Miramar Beach

  • Renting cheap car rentals in Miramar Beach offers you the flexibility to explore at your own pace and on your own schedule. There are plenty of attractions around the city, including the stunning beaches of Destin, the Henderson Beach State Park, and the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park, all of which can be more easily accessed by car. Additionally, public transportation options in Miramar Beach are limited, with only a few bus routes available, and no train or subway service. Thus, using Miramar Beach car rentals is a much more convenient and efficient way to get around the city and its surrounding areas.
  • Pensacola Airport (PNS) is located approximately 47 miles from Miramar Beach. The rental car offices at PNS are located across the street from the baggage claim in the consolidated rental car facility. There is a complimentary shuttle that runs between the terminal and the rental car facility. Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) is located approximately 19 miles from Miramar Beach. The rental car offices at ECP are located in the covered parking garage adjacent to the terminal building. Destin-Ft. Walton Beach Airport (VPS) is located approximately 25 miles from Miramar Beach. The rental car offices at VPS are located in the baggage claim area of the terminal building.
  • One thing to keep in mind when driving car rentals in Miramar Beach is that you are required to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks, so it's essential to keep an eye out for people on foot if you're driving in downtown areas or near popular attractions. Additionally, bicycles are a common sight on Miramar Beach's roads, so it's important to share the road and give cyclists plenty of space when passing. It's also common to see trucks and other large vehicles on the roads, particularly on the highways surrounding the city.
  • There can be traffic congestion in Miramar Beach during rush hour in the mornings from 7 am to 9 am and evenings from 4 pm and 6 pm, particularly during peak summer tourist season. Coastal highways such as the US-98 and Scenic Gulf Dr can become congested during these times. It is recommended to plan your routes and allow for additional travel time during these periods. Florida is known for its tropical climate, with a hurricane season that runs from June to November. During this time, there is a possibility of heavy rains and strong winds, which can create difficult driving conditions for car rentals in Miramar Beach.

The car was great - a new minivan in excellent condition. We reserved a toddler car seat but then noticed in the reservation confirmation that “additional charges could apply.” I called to see how much they would be, since we could check a car seat for free on our flight, and was told that the charges for the car seat were “already included” in the rate that we had. But when we got to the Enterprise desk, we were told they were not and we had to pay an additional $35. This was rather annoying. The line at the airport was SUPER slow, and then it took a while for them to find the car seat and it took us an extra long time to get it attached since the hook locations in the mini van were not obvious. But, aside from that, everything went smoothly and we do recommend Enterprise as a company.

We reserved from an off airport site to get a better rate. Took a taxi from the airport to the Enterprise location and they were closed due to covid. We couldn’t reach anyone by phone so went on to our hotel. Finally reached someone later in the day and they said they didn’t have my phone number or they would have contacted me. Funny I provided phone and email when I made the res. They said we could pick up our car at the airport location. Had to take taxi back to the airport. There and back cost $80.

I thought I had already paid for rental on Kayak when I spent $300 reserving it. I get to Hertz to pick it up and they slap a $500 security hold on me. Even after I selected no extra fee for liability. Meaning everything was on me if something happened.

Not being familiar with the area, I thought I was picking up the car at the airport but it was actually in Destin which cost us $65 to get to Destin. It would have been nice if this would have been clairfied when reserving online. My search was for Destin Airport and it sent me to Destin. Once we got to Destin, the service was not very good, the car had a STRONG smell of cleaning product (which made me sick) but the car was clean.

Pros:

The van was spacious and suited my need. When I picked up the vehicle the lady at the desk was very polite.

Cons:

When I picked up the vehicle nobody went with me to inspect the vehicle or to do a walk around to insure there were no issues. When I picked up the van it had NOT been cleaned inside. It appeared that it had NOT been checked to any specific standard other than it had a full tank of gas. All 4 tires were low and not a single one of them had the same pressure. I had to add 4,5,6 and 7 pounds of air respectively. I would have assumed that safety would have been a priority. I know well enough to check those things for myself, but what about people who don't? Very very disappointing

Disappointing. The car broke down on the side of the highway 3.5 hours into a 14 hour drive. The roadside assistance department couldn’t come up with a solution any sooner than 6 hours of waiting on the roadside. I self-rescued and after securing a refund, Avis customer service did nothing to make up for the fact that their primary charter of renting a safe reliable car failed and had no compassion or interest in making up for the inconvenience and delays.

We had to wait in line for 3 hours to get our reserved rental car only to get more awful service and moved to a Tahoe which didn’t fit our family and luggage. Was then told we would get a discount which didn’t happen. Now I get to waste more time on the phone with Avis trying to get this figured out. If you are renting from the Destin/Fort Walton airport location….BEWARE!!

The car wasn’t ready. We had to wait an hour for them to clean it and when we got to the car, it wasn’t even clean—there was sand all over the floor still. Customer service was poor too. No one to greet us at drop off to make sure the rental was good or anything. As a preferred customer, we were not pleased with our experience.

Pros:

We asked specifically for a car that seated 8 and we got a car that seated 7. There were no cars that seated 8 so someone had to ride illegally and unsafe the entire trip.

Cons:

The lady that helped at Pickup was not helpful on instructing drop off after hours. The car stunk. And giving people the amount of seating they request is pretty vital.
