KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in West Palm Beach
- A hire car is the perfect way to explore not only the coastal city of West Palm Beach, but also the greater state of Florida and its world-famous attractions, as public transportation between cities is not widely available. Drive along the coast to take in the stunning ocean views, or hop in the car and head to the cities of Fort Lauderdale or Miami, which are only an hour's drive away from West Palm Beach and offer activities for the whole family.
- All the big car hire agencies can be found at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), which is conveniently located about 4 miles from the city center. Car hire services are situated near the baggage claim area, which is on level one of the arrivals terminal. The companies at the airport tend to offer cheaper deals than the ones downtown or at Palm Beach.
- West Palm Beach is a compact city in itself, which makes it easy and quick to navigate. All vehicles should stop at a red light, but a right-hand turn is allowed if there is no oncoming traffic. Summer is usually both humid and wet, which makes thunderstorms and downpours regular events there, so take extra precautions when driving in rainy weather. However, that also means there are fewer people on the roads.
- West Palm Beach traffic isn't too bad, but if you don't want to add extra time to your travels, avoid driving between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., and then again between 3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. Rush hour traffic tends to affect more the area of Port Saint Lucie, both in the morning and in the evening. People commuting from Fort Lauderdale will also experience heavier congestion during peak hours, both when entering and exiting the city.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in West Palm Beach for $53 or less
- Book your rental car in West Palm Beach at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
The staff was absolutely amazing!! They woman at the front seriously helped me and walked me through everything I needed to know, and informed me of each added on expense so there were no suprises. She had empathy like no other and really made sure i was taken care of. The young man whom I returned the car to was very nice and made sure I a ride home before returning the vehicle. Honestly the best staff you'll ever meet!Cons:
Ace may have a lot of loop holes when it come to added om expenses, which is probably expected from renting, I had placed too much faith in a reliable range of reasonable additives, but it was a little crazy in that regard. The price you pay on kayak should be the only expense.National
