KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Gulfport
If your next vacation trip is to head over to Gulfport, you might want to rent a car and stop at a few famous attraction sites. Gulf Islands Waterpark is located on Interstate 49 and London Road, 11min away from the Biloxi Regional Airport. Or you can take a Gulfport nature tour of the Mississippi Sandhills Crane Wildlife Refuge, which is only a half-hour drive from the airport. Don’t forget shopping at Gulfport premium shopping outlets or a boat ride at the beautiful Marina. There are many transport options you can choose to get to all these destinations around the city. Buses and taxis are adequate options, but most buses adhere to specific routes and taxi prices are fixed, making public transportation not so cost-effective if you want to explore outside the city center.

There are about 10 car rental companies at the airport, including Ace, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, National, and U-Save.

Being a tourist city, Gulfport experiences high traffic congestion on some of its highways. This is more common during the high peak holiday seasons. The city also experiences varying temperatures, especially during the winter nights.

After confirming on the phone that the vehicle we wanted was available (Chevy Tahoe or equi) one hour before pickup, it wasn’t when we got there and ended up with a minivan. Beyond that it was ok.

You allowed us to rent a car that they did NOT HAVE!!!! They were sold out of cars and that is the only reason that we flew into GPT. They had been out of cars for days due to a special event that was happening in the city. All agencies were out of cars. Very bad business.
