KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Santa Rosa Beach

  • Renting a car from any of the car rentals in Santa Rosa Beach offers several advantages. Firstly, your rented car from Santa Rosa Beach car rentals provides the freedom and flexibility to explore the city at your own pace. Additionally, Santa Rosa Beach is surrounded by numerous beautiful destinations, such as Destin's beaches, Grayton Beach State Park, and the charming Seaside town, which are best accessible by a rented car. Moreover, renting a car ensures comfort, convenience, and the ability to carry personal belongings, making it a superior choice over public transportation options like buses or trains.
  • Most travelers flying into Santa Rosa Beach use Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) as their destination airport. If you plan to rent a car at ECP, please note that the onsite car rental offices are located on the lower level of the terminal building. Despite being a short walk from the baggage claim area, car rentals such as Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and Hertz offer an airport shuttle to transport passengers to some of their offsite car pick-up locations.
  • Driving your rented car from any car rental in Santa Rosa Beach requires you to be aware of certain unique challenges. For instance, jaywalking is common along Highway 30A. You, therefore, need to be vigilant and anticipate pedestrians crossing unexpectedly. Additionally, bicyclists are another group of road users who often enter the road without warning, so keeping an eye out for them is crucial. To avoid getting involved in costly accidents involving jaywalkers and bicyclists, you must maintain a reasonable driving speed, remain attentive and be prepared to yield to pedestrians and give cyclists ample space.
  • In Santa Rosa Beach, FL, rush hour traffic can be challenging, particularly during weekdays from 7:30 am to 9 am and 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Some of the most affected roads are Highway 98 and County Road 30A, which experience heavy congestion. To enjoy your driving experience with your rented car from Santa Rosa Beach car rentals, reschedule your travel plans to take advantage of the off-peak hours.
