Pros:

The drop off at Little Rock was very quick and convenient.

Cons:

Our registration was for a Ford Focus....instead we ended up w/a much smaller Ford Fiesta. Instead of asking us numerous questions upon arrival, they could have read over our confirmation....it was almost all asked while we registered.

Flew in and found out our car was unavailable. Had a parking lot full, but they were saving them for FEMA..which is fine, a disaster had just taken place. But to have no warning before being stranded at the airport is sad.

Pros:

Cons:

Waited in line for an hour due to having only one agent on duty. The vehicle was parked a long way from the rental desk, making it difficult for older folks to walk to get to.

The vehicle choice was wonderful. Premium SUV - had an Infinity. Loved the ride. Will continue booking thru kayak.

Cons:

Pros:

The van was spacious and suited my need. When I picked up the vehicle the lady at the desk was very polite.

Cons:

When I picked up the vehicle nobody went with me to inspect the vehicle or to do a walk around to insure there were no issues. When I picked up the van it had NOT been cleaned inside. It appeared that it had NOT been checked to any specific standard other than it had a full tank of gas. All 4 tires were low and not a single one of them had the same pressure. I had to add 4,5,6 and 7 pounds of air respectively. I would have assumed that safety would have been a priority. I know well enough to check those things for myself, but what about people who don't? Very very disappointing

drop off was easy, the rest of the experience was not good!!!

Cons:

make it more known that you are going to be closed at noon on a SATURDAY and not open on SUNDAY Some people can only travel on those days, honor the price agreed on, at a different location if not going to be open an the other location, and quit gouging people on the price, (prices were outrageous)

Pros:

Janelle went above and beyond her duties to help me at crestview Florida

Cons:

The location from the destin airport didn’t have a vehicle. Enterprise sent us to valspario which is a closed location which then led us to crestview. And that cost us $45 cab ride from the airport. When returning the van, it took most of the day to get the receipt after many phone calls and on hold and being dropped by the people at the airport. We finally got ahold of Janelle at Crestview, she got my receipt promptly and courteous. Thanks Janelle.

Pros:

The car was fine.

Cons:

The lady from Avis tried to upgrade me at a lot more cost. I kept saying I wasn’t interested. The most disturbing was how she kept implying that I could break down on the side of the road with no help if I didn’t buy insurance or roadside assistance. I was traveling alone and she purposely tried to frighten me. I felt paranoid that something terrible would happen my entire trip. It affected my vacation.

Pros:

Multiple flight delays & cancellations conspired to ruin my family's Spring Break vacation. After six hours of delays, our flight from Atlanta to Destin-Ft Walton was cancelled. Our National agent in Destin airport was extremely flexible and courteous which was a relief in all our bad travel experiences with Delta. We ended up renting a car from National in Atlanta and driving the five plus hours to Seaside, FL. One day later but, still had a good time.

Cons:

No complaints about National this trip.

Pros:

Quick operation, good agent to pick up

Cons:

the car didn't have bluetooth. It was weird to grab the car and not have to check it out with another gate agent to leave the premises. If I had something wrong with the car, I didn't have an immediate person to detail that with. I would have had to go back into the terminal or hunt someone down. Nevertheless, it's comforting to not have to wait to get my car and go. So it's just habit that makes it weird.

Pros:

We asked specifically for a car that seated 8 and we got a car that seated 7. There were no cars that seated 8 so someone had to ride illegally and unsafe the entire trip.

Cons:

The lady that helped at Pickup was not helpful on instructing drop off after hours. The car stunk. And giving people the amount of seating they request is pretty vital.

Pros:

I honestly was very disappointed with the overall experience at this location.

Cons:

It took 3 employees combined effort in order to serve one person ahead of me in line for at least 25 minutes. When it finally was my time to be helped, I was asked to go into the parking lot to obtain the mileage on the vehicle while the lady stood there doing nothing. When I got back she answered a phone call and didn't even put the person on hold, I continued to wait. When she got off the phone she realized she was not capable of figuring out how to do a return. She proceeded to go for help. In the meantime one of the other employees then tried to help another person that was in line behind me while my employee went in search for help! I informed her her co-worker needed some help in processing my return and I simply cannot wait any longer, I did not account 45 minutes to drop off a vehicle. A capable employee then showed up and processed my return within 2 min. Seeing how easily the process should be handled made me sick to my stomach. I wouldn't recommend this location to anybody.

Top tips for renting a car at Valparaiso Destin-Ft Walton Beach airport

  • Booking a car rental at Valparaiso Destin-Ft Walton Beach Airport is a convenient way to ensure that you will have access to comfortable and reliable transportation for the duration of your stay in the area. Both Destin and Fort Walton have their own public transportation systems, namely the local bus, but driving is still one of the quickest ways to reach your destination. When you have your own vehicle, it will also be easy for you to transport cargo, including suitcases and beach equipment.
  • No matter what your needs or preferences are, there is sure to be a model that is perfect for your car rental at Valparaiso Destin-Ft Walton Beach Airport. If you want to enjoy the area's sunshine, you can always opt for a convertible. Those that will be traveling with several other passengers may prefer to have an SUV.

  • Once you are ready to return your car rental at Valparaiso Destin-Ft Walton Beach Airport, you can simply bring it back to where your respective rental company stores its fleet. Each company that has its own branch at the airport has both its office and its fleet on-site, so make sure to remember the exact location where you first picked up your rental. While it will depend on the specific company that you are renting with, you may have the option of dropping off your Valparaiso Destin-Ft Walton Beach Airport car rental outside of normal business hours.
  • Both Destin and Fort Walton are busy cities that are popular destinations for tourists, so their roads can often be congested.
