Top tips for renting a car in Winter Haven

  • You will enjoy greater flexibility in traversing Winter Haven if you are using Winter Haven car rentals, including Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, or Budget. The main advantage of car rental over Winter Haven Area Transit, which offers public transport services in the city, is that you can change routes conveniently depending on the traffic situation. Additionally, with your rental car, weekends do not come with inconvenience, as is the case with Winter Haven Area Transit, which does not operate on weekends. With your rental car, you can visit the Chain of Lakes Park, a popular basketball stadium located approximately 6 miles from the city center.
  • Travers arriving in Winter Haven by plane will land at either Winter Haven's Gilbert Airport or Orlando International airport. You can access Winter Haven car rentals at Terminal A and Terminal B of Orlando International Airport. All the major car rental have their desks in each of these terminals. In Winter Haven's Gilbert Airport, you will only access Hertz Car Rental, located in the arrivals within the terminal building. Other car rentals in Winter Haven, including Enterprise, Avis, and Budget, offer courtesy shuttles from the airport to their offices. You can get these shuttles outside the baggage claim area.
  • When driving along the PSC Access Road, you should watch out for cyclists and pedestrians who normally use the road in large numbers, particularly during morning hours, lunch breaks, and in the evening. Many of these are students at Polk State College and Chain of Lakes High School. If you are new to the city, you need to be careful when navigating the intersection of US Highway 17 and Cypress Garden Blvd. You can customize the GPS app in your rental car to offer you enhanced convenience in navigating unfamiliar routes in Winter Haven.
  • The morning and evening rush hour periods come with greater difficulties for drivers in the city. During these periods, which are 6 am to 9 am in the morning and from 4 pm to 7 pm in the evening, many of the roads in the city experience heavy traffic. State Road 544 is one of the most affected whenever traffic builds up in the city. In addition to the heavy traffic, it is difficult to drive in Winter Haven city center because of the large number of pedestrians, many of who cross roads with little concern about any oncoming vehicles.

Pros:

It was a nice, clean vehicle, easy to rent and the staff was nice

Cons:

I brought the vehicle back one day late, which I let them know about ahead of time and they told me that I would just pay for extra day, but they also added on an additional 15.00 as a late fee plus taxes which made it 85 dollars for the extra day, not 60 which is what they told me.

Everything went smoothly. They gave me some leeway on drop off time, which was HIGHLY appreciated. Just 45 minutes, but made a huge difference to me. I was also given a free upgrade. Great experience.

Pros:

These folks go above and beyond when it comes to customer service! I was in and out in minutes, both picking up and dropping off. I have rented from the others on that strip and can honestly say HERTZ you make renting a car in Winter Haven Florida the best there is both price and convenience.I was charged just what my kayak online reservation was made for, no surprises, It was truly a pleasure doing business with you!

Cons:

Having to talk to the 800 person to extend my reservation for a day. She was rude, didn't listen to me, and didn't have good command of the English language.If she would have been my first point of contact I would not have booked with Hertz.
