Cons:
Too much time spent up selling. At 10pm, I want to pick up and move on. Not stand in line while others face up selling and I rehearse my lines to address my own up selling. Even pizza carry out was closed by the time we reached our accommodations...10.0 Excellent

Yes the lady at pick up was wonderful!!Cons:
You all need a bigger signs for drop off. And better signs in the back of the building as to where to enter after you drop off. I can figure it out but the older generations may not. Tad bit confusing. You one tiny sign blow over in the back of the building. Just an idea for you ;)7.2 Good

I did not get the car I wanted. Also, when I dropped it off there were no people around to help drop it off properly. I didn’t know who to talk to or even that I just dropped the key in a box. Very confusing.Alamo

When to book a rental car in Punta Gorda
Top tips for renting a car in Punta Gorda
- Car rentals in Punta Gorda give you the flexibility to explore this scenic town and to visit nearby cities, like Cleveland and Port Charlotte. Having a rental car is convenient for not only getting to places within the city limits but also locations that are further from downtown, such as the Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park, which spans over 70 miles and can be reached from the city center by car in approximately 25min. Having your own transportation will also allow you to travel throughout the region more quickly, rather than having to rely on the local bus.
- Punta Gorda Airport’s car rental center can conveniently be found right next to Bailey Terminal. It’s within walking distance from the main airport building, and you can follow the designated crosswalks to arrive there safely. There are several different companies for you to choose from for car rentals in Punta Gorda, including Avis, Budget, and National.
- The city is known for having many small and winding streets, so adding a GPS system to Punta Gorde car rentals can be an easy way to help you navigate and prevent yourself from getting lost. Because of the beautiful Florida sunshine, there are often many cyclists and pedestrians, particularly in the city center, so pay extra attention to your surroundings when you’re behind the wheel to avoid any collisions.
- As many of the locals work in neighboring cities, there’s frequent traffic on Highway 41 during rush hour, which is between 8-9am and 5-6pm, so try to avoid taking this road during the early morning and the evening if possible. Many visitors also flock to Punta Gorda in the summer months to be by the ocean, so roads may be more congested than normal during this time. If you’re on a schedule or looking to catch a flight, keep these times in mind when planning your route.
