KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Boca Raton
- Exploring Palm Beach County is easy with car rentals in Boca Raton. Spend the day driving up and down the coast, stopping at the local beaches and eateries, or simply enjoying the views of the Atlantic Ocean. Visit Lake Okeechobee or the Big Cypress National Preserve in the Everglades, both of which are under 90 miles west of the city. You can also drive 30min south to visit Ft. Lauderdale, and an additional 30min drive will get you to the shopping and nightlife of Miami.
- Accessing the Rental Car Center at Miami International Airport is easy using the MIA Mover, an automated tram running between the airport’s main terminal and the Rental Car Center. The purple MIA Mover signs throughout the airport will direct you to the MIA Mover station, located on the third level of the main terminal between the Dolphin and Flamingo garages (near Concourse E). This free shuttle tram takes you to the Rental Car Center's customer service lobby, a short 4-minute ride from the airport.
- Boca Raton’s streets are easy to navigate, making it a great city for driving in a rental car. There aren’t many confusing road environments such as one-way streets or traffic circles to worry about. However, travelers should use caution at the intersection of Glades Road and State Road 7 near the Shadowood Square mall, there are three turning lanes from State Road 7 that turn onto Glades Road, and this has been the source of many accidents.
- Unless there is an event going on in the city, Boca Raton has relatively little traffic congestion, although traffic does slow down during the morning and evening rush hours, especially on Glades Road near the I-95 interchange. Traffic is worse during the height of winter (when the "snowbirds," aka Northerners, flock to the city), the height of summer vacation, and during spring break.
- Book your rental car in Boca Raton at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Boca Raton are around 75% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting a car in Boca Raton
What type of car is recommended for driving in Boca Raton?
Car rentals in Boca Raton provide the perfect excuse to drive a convertible, especially if you plan to spend time driving along the coast to take in the water views. For families planning to spend time at the beach, an SUV may provide the extra space needed to carry the beach toys, towels, picnic items, and other beach equipment needed to make the day complete.
What’s the speed limit in Boca Raton?
Many of the main roads in Boca Raton have posted speed limits of 40 to 45mph, although the major highways, such as I-95 and Florida’s Turnpike, have speed limits up to 70mph. Motorists should be wary when driving on Spanish River Blvd, as the overpass over I-95 where the speed drops from 40mph to 30mph is a notorious speed trap.

Pros:
Process for renting very eas Rental process easy, staff friendly and helpful with luggage. Bus for pick up and drop off readily available. Attractive new car.Cons:
The car only had 1400 miles on it but when sitting at a light it would frequently feel like it was going to stall. Fortunately it never did. In addition, I returned the car early due to the coronavirus and was told I would get money back for the early return but later found out that you would only give me a credit. I was not happy as this was my first car rental in 5 years and i have no trips planned for the next 12 months. i wouldn't have returned it early if there wasn't a pandemic and think the company should be more flexible than their "normal" policy of providing credits... think you should reconsider your policy due to circumstances.Hertz

Pros:
NothingCons:
The day before my scheduled pick up, the Boca Raton branch called to let me know that there may be a shortage of cars and to call the day I arrived to see if my requested car was available. I called multiple times that day but no answer. Also realize that Kayak allowed me to make a reservation for a 5pm pickup, however the location closed at 5pm so if I showed up a few minutes late I wouldnt have been able to pick it up. The booking system should not allow reservations to be made at the locations closing time. As a result I did not pick up the rental. I did not hear from the rental location either, and ended up using Uber for my entire trip.9.6 Wonderful

Pros:
Gaby was very helpful.Cons:
Made a reservation at one location, called day prior to confirm. They told me the reservation would be honored at an office closer to my home. Called the number they gave me, second office said there was another office closer to my home. Called third office, was told by a young man named Marshall that he would call me tomorrow (day of pickup) to confirm. Never heard from him, called third location when I was en route to pick up, they told me they couldn't honor my reservation, didn't have the vehicle. Called first office, they didn't have vehicle either but said one was scheduled for return, with unknown return time. Fortunately one came in and I was able to get it. Not a fun experience.6.8 Okay
