Additionally, Panama City Beach van rentals will allow you to travel anywhere you’d like. You can quickly drive to the Shipwreck Island water park, the Conservation Park, and Camp Hellen State Park at your own pace without worrying about transportation fares and bus schedules.
  • When you arrive in Panama City Beach, FL, you might arrive on a flight to Panama City Bay County International Airport. This airport has a car-rental center on site. Upon arrival, you can find car-rental counters near the baggage-claim area in the main terminal. The airport offers several car-rental agencies on site, including Alamo, Hertz, Budget, National, and Enterprise. These agencies feature an impressive fleet, so you can carefully choose your perfect van rental. The airport car-rental center is a busy facility, and we recommend making early bookings to avoid waiting in line.
  • Driving a rental van in Panama City Beach is easy. Roads have signs and traffic signals whenever necessary, so you’ll be safe if you follow these. All passengers on board the van must have seat belts on while on the road. All kids under four must be seated in car safety seats. Always yield to emergency and police vehicles. Drunk driving is illegal, and vehicles always keep on the right side of the road, while overtaking is better achieved on the left when legal. Always yield to the car with the right of way and pedestrians at stop signs. The speed limit is mostly 30 mph (50 kph) within city limits and averages 50 mph (80 kph) on major roads and highways.
  • There is a lot of traffic on principal roads and near the beach in Panama City Beach. Not driving during rush hour on working days will help you avoid traffic jams and other stressful conditions. However, if you must go during rush hour, avoid driving on Highway 79, 231, 331, and 71.

The Budget location employees went over and above to make the car rental experience a good one. We added a second driver with no problem and dropping the car off was expeditious. I received an email receipt immediately after bringing the car back. All and all a very positive experience.

I had made a last-minute rental reservation the evening before I needed a car. The next morning, I was in an Uber 5 minutes away from the Enterprise when I got a call from the staff saying they actually don't have any cars available. The staff did everything they could for us - gave us advice and tried calling another nearby location to see if they had cars - so this is not on them at all. The system simply shows there are cars available when there aren't, and that should be rectified immediately. Thankfully we were able to find a Hertz that had literally one single car left, because the entirety of Panama City was sold out of cars and we would have been stranded, unable to get home.

Hertz operates different businesses under the same name. I accidentally made the reservation at a hertz location not at the airport. At the airport counter the hertz rep could find my reservation but said it was with a different hertz organization and he couldn’t transfer it or help to rent me a minivan. It was 8:30 at night, and the other store was closed. I have my family of 7 (5kids) at an airport with no transportation. I will never rent from hertz again. Period.
