Top tips for hiring a car at Panama City NW Florida Beaches airport

  • With car hire at Panama City NW Florida Beaches Airport, you will be set for a world of freedom to explore this bustling beachside city in Florida. Convenient and a massive time-saver in this busy area, getting your car hire direct from the airport will offer you global franchises of reputable companies with all the perks. Book online or pop in and get your holiday started immediately after setting foot off the plane. As long as you are 21 years of age you can enjoy the coastline at your leisure with a car rental.
  • Panama City NW Florida Beaches Airport car hire companies will provide add-ons to make your car hire more suited to your travelling party and needs. Infant car seats are a must for any family travelling with a baby or toddler and Sat Nav is recommended in Panama City which is famous for busy traffic. If you have a companion that can assist with driving, look for the second driver option. SIXT, Hertz and Avis definitely will be able to cater for all your add-on needs.
  • Taking the Panama City terrain into account, consider the car which would suit your needs before booking. One of the most hired car categories in this region is economy, which is great for the busy city, low on mileage and perfect for small groups and couples. Luxury cars are highly popular due to the coastal roads. If you are looking for some wind in your hair and sun in your face, consider a convertible to make your coastline meanderings all the more fun. You can also choose from midsize, SUVs, minivans and more from all the companies at the airports.
  • Panama City is one of few American cities where a petrol attendant will serve you when filling up your car. You will be able to use your international credit card or pay in cash at petrol stations and there is a ceiling applied to petrol prices.  Note that it is common courtesy to offer your attendant a tip, particularly if they pumped your tyres or provided an additional service.
  • Book your car hire at Panama City NW Florida Beaches airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car at Panama City NW Florida Beaches airport

  • How can I get to the airport rental offices?

    Car hire at Panama City NW Florida Beaches Airport that is not actually based on-site is easily reached with the complimentary shuttle service. There is a shuttle collection point on the east end of the parking garage at the lower level and even a phone to use should you need to contact one of the companies and alert them of your arrival.

  • What documentation do I need to bring for car hire at Panama City NW Florida Beaches Airport?

    When hiring your car, ensure you bring your international driver’s licence if you are a tourist as well as your home country licence to prove you have held your licence for more than two years. You will also need photographic ID such as a passport and an international credit card.

  • What are important road rules to take note of when driving with my Panama City NW Florida Beaches Airport car hire?

    Panama City takes traffic rules very seriously and as a tourist they may be unknown to you. It is illegal to do a U-turn in most places in Panama City and the roads are often not marked to alert you to this. Cell phone use is also illegal with zero tolerance. Perhaps the most note-worthy rule is unspoken – pedestrians always get right of way. When you are approaching a stopping bus or taxi, pedestrians have right of way over a vehicle. This applies heavily in the city where the public is very comfortable on foot and tends to walk in the roads with more freedom. Be vigilant at all times, and as with any crowded city, expect the unexpected on the road.

  • Which car rental companies will pick you up at Panama City NW Florida Beaches airport?

    Car rental companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Panama City NW Florida Beaches airport to off-airport locations include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Hertz, National, and Thrifty.

Pros:

Reserved a car through Priceline for Panama Beach to be picked up at the airport. Our original flight was cancelled and we arrived 3 hours later than originally planned. The rental company counters were all extremely busy, and I could overhear a lot of people trying to rent cars who had not made reservations, so I was worried they might not have held our reservation for us but they still had our reservation, and the type of vehicle we requested.

When we arrived at the Budget counter there was 21 people in front of us. Would have been over an hour to get waited on. Had no choice but to cancel and book with Hertz. No wait and excellent service.

The staff was great. No issues with pick up and drop box was fairly straight forward.

Cons:

The car smelled heavily of smoke when we got it. The power steering was making odd noises (may require additional power steering fluid). The right rear tire gave a lower pressure warning after having the car for a few hours. No issues after filling it up so didn't appear to be a structural issue.
