Car hire at Punta Gorda Airport

Because this airport is home to around seven major global brands renting cars here, you will have an easy time utilizing any one of these companies in a quick and efficient manner for your rental car needs. One tip for travelers that are members of a loyalty rewards program for any one of these companies is to utilize that company at this airport to help speed up the process of picking up your rental car upon your flight arrival.

The rental car center itself does not offer many amenities as the purpose of the center is simply to house all the car rental companies. That said since the main terminal building is right across the street from the car rental center, it is very easy to access all of the great amenities inside of the terminal before and during your rental car process. This includes a huge selection of food and beverage options, including some wonderful food trucks that have locations in the short-term parking lot. The airport also offers some shopping options, free Wi-Fi in the terminal, as well as plenty of restroom facilities.

Drivers renting a car here need to have a valid United States driver's license in the driver's name. Drivers from other countries will need to also offer a valid passport in addition to a driver's license from their country. Drivers generally need to be at least 25 years old to rent a car, although drivers between 18 and 25 can rent a car with limits on the type of car available plus possible additional fees. Most of the rental car companies here will accept a limited amount of debit cards, but a safer option to ensure your rental is to bring a major credit card with you.
