Once you arrive at the airport and pick up your rental car, you'll find the process of making your way to places like Fishermans Village, Ponce de Leon Park, Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center, and the Military Heritage Museum a really easy thing to do for your entire group.
A really nice feature of car rental at Punta Gorda Charlotte County Airport is that this smaller regional airport still offers a dedicated rental car center that sits right across the road from the main terminal building. The airport strongly suggests that passengers utilize the crosswalks outside of the terminal building for their safety. All of the rental car companies inside the rental car center are available for passengers on inbound and outbound flights beginning at around 5 am. Each of the vehicles available for rent sits right outside of this rental car center in the adjacent parking lot.
Just as car rental at Punta Gorda Charlotte County Airport is really easy when you arrive at the airport, dropping off your car is just as easy. When you arrive at the airport, park in one of the dedicated parking spots for your rental car company and then lock your car and make your way back into the rental car center. Once inside, you can quickly drop off your completed contract and keys to your rental car agency, or for an even faster option, drop these items in the company's dropbox.
Some of the most difficult times to utilize Punta Gorda Charlotte County Airport car rental will be on Friday afternoons or at the start of busy holiday travel times when an abundance of travelers will be making their way to this beautiful part of Florida.

The car made noises as thought it had poor maintenance and was not going to reliably make it to where we wanted to go. Not all the electronics worked/worked properly. The pick up experience took a very long time the workers were very slow and were not happy or particularly kind. Overall bad experience can not think of anything positive.

Had a low tire and could not get anybody on the phone to help us. Had to take a chance in my neck to the rental with somebody and hope that the car did not have a blowout. It was not very happy with the lack of communication or help from anyone we talked to on the phone.

I didn’t receive a copy of my receipt online and the car was in need of service on the brakes. I did like the check in process being fairly quick after traveling. The return was easy and straightforward, with no issues.

Pros:

The kid behind the counter was nice, as he told me I could not rent a car.

Cons:

Maybe let people know when they rent a car that if they are picking it up from an airport that they MUST have a credit card in their name to rent it and that a debit card DOES NOT work. That's kind of important information!!! That way they don't get stuck there with 2 small kids who were scared they'd never get home for hours and have to have their elderly mother drive 3 hours in the middle of the night to pick them up to drive another 3 hours to get home by 4 am for the kids first day of school that morning. Luckily she was able to or we might still be there as there were no Uber drivers in the area and a cab would have been $300 for us. If you are going to REQUIRE something, you need to make sure people know that!!!!

Pickup truck

Super easy pickup and drop off in Punta Gorda. However, the truck we rented had the tint removed but not the adhesive. The windows were super sticky to the touch and would barely go down and getting them back up was a half hour task. ALWAYS check ALL window operations before driving away with your car!! Upon return, no one really cared but some manager gave us a discount as long as we promised to give a 5 star review when Alamo sent a survey!! Is that bribery??

Got a car where passenger window wouldn’t roll back up. Had to drive over an hour to get a new car. They said they would have one ready for us they didn’t. Then tried to give us a smaller car while making my two kids wait in 95 degree weather.
