KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Port St. Lucie
- While Port St. Lucie does have public transportation, the routes are limited, making it a less viable option for exploring the city. What’s more, the city is so well-placed centrally on the eastern coast of Florida, that it invites visitors to explore the surrounding area; essentially, securing a car rental in Port St. Lucie is a great way to take advantage of the opportunities for tourism and adventure available. A personal vehicle will also provide you with the luxury of time flexibility—arrive at your destination when you want, then leave when you want.
- When heading to Port St. Lucie via plane, you’ll land at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI). Here at the airport, you’ll find a number of available car rental companies, including Hertz, National, Enterprise, Alamo, Budget, Thrifty and more. To find the rental company service desks, go to level one of the terminal and head toward the exit. Here, you will be able to check in for your Port St. Lucie car rental.
- With a rich aquatic environment and a fun downtown scene, visitors to Port St. Lucie will want to keep alert, especially on the city’s many bridges, and look out for pedestrians that are enjoying neighborhoods replete with shops and restaurants. While there are marked crosswalks, you will find that many people choose to cross at unmarked spots along the roads. Additionally, since there are many waterways running through the city, you’ll find that traffic patterns are focused along a handful of routes.
- While you are visiting the city, take advantage of the commuting flexibility that a car rental in Port St. Lucie affords you and try to travel outside of the city’s rush hours. During the mornings, you can expect increased traffic between about 7am and about 9am. Toward the end of the workday, traffic increases again between roughly 4pm and 6pm.
- Book your car hire in Port St. Lucie at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about car hire in Port St. Lucie

In the sweltering and humid weather of central and southern Florida, it’s a great benefit to have a vehicle with good air conditioning, especially from spring through fall when temperatures are exceedingly high.

Pros:
Staff was friendly and helpful.Cons:
Very dirty office, I was nervous about renting when I got there because of the appearance of the place. I was not sure about leaving my personal vehicle in a sketchy neighborhood with no security cameras on the building that could monitor my vehicle and belongings while I was away. My rental vehicle smelt like cigarettes even though your company has a 100% no smoking police... it made my 7 hour drive miserable.2.0 Poor

Cons:
With this Covid stuff going on they could actually clean the car before the next person drives it. There was a scratched off lotto ticket and a piece of paper folded in half under the visor on the drivers side. The drivers side panel where all the window controls are was filthy. This is the 3rd time now that I’ve gotten a dirty car from hertz and now I’ll be using a different company for my rental cars. I will not give them My money anymore.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
We liked nothing about the experience. We got to the Budget Office in Port St Lucie and there was no car for us. The woman there insisted we travel an hour south (we were heading north) to hopefully get another car. No guarantees there either. We ended up having to drive 2 hours to Orlando to start all over by reserving another car. Our reservations contract was not honored.Cons:
Everything? Maybe you could have reserved a car like you said you would?2.0 Poor

Pros:
NothingCons:
I guess the staff could of been a lot friendlier but they weren’t. Also if they are one of those business that opens after hours that’s good however they literally LIED on there website saying I open after hours and when I ask the manager he said they closed even though I made a reservation stupid business stupid people2.4 Poor

Pros:
Liked nothing. I am 6ft7 and they gave me a Miata .... yes ... a Miata For the inconvenience I was supposed to get the price down to $75 but ... never happened. Since I flew overseas, I could not reach them and I was charged full price. Better and easier to through a fist.Cons:
Respect their engagement2.0 Poor
Richard, Aug 2020
Pros:
STAFF WAS VERY ABRUPT WHEN I ARRIVED AND TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO CARS AVAILABLE. NO EXPLANATION, NO PHONE CALL, NOTHING. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT WAS THAT! NOT TO MENTION, THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAD A CONFIRMED RESERVATION AT THIS LOCATION AND NOBODY CALLED TO TELL ME NOT TO SHOW UP. IT RUINED MY ENTIRE VACATION PLANS WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. BEWARE OF THIS LOCATION.Cons:
FIRST OF ALL, MAKE AN EFFORT TO GET THE VEHICLE IN POSITION WHEN SOME ONE HAS A CONFORMED RESERVATION. IF THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE, THEN CALL THE RENTER AND TELL THEM SO OTHER ARRANGEMENTS CAN BE MADE. A BETTER ATTITUDE COULD ALSO HELP.Avis
