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.

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.

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.

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.10.0 Wonderful

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.9.6 Wonderful
