KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cocoa

  • Driving car rentals in Cocoa is a fantastic way to see this city situated on the northeastern shore of Florida. Faster and more convenient than taking public transportation, Cocoa car rentals can get you to appointments you need to keep or to sites you want to see, such as Cocoa Riverfront Park, the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, HHHistoric Cocoa Village, and the Sands Space History Center. Driving car rentals in Cocoa will also give you the freedom to drive west to Orlando, north to Jacksonville, and south to Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
  • Located less than 50 miles to the west of Cocoa, Orlando International Airport (MCO) is a wonderful place for securing car rentals. At MCO, you can find car rental agencies in Terminal A on level 1, in terminal B on level 1, and in terminal C on level 4. From MCO, you can take FL-408 East to FL-50 East to FL-520 East to FL-528 East into Cocoa.
  • In Cocoa, Florida, the roads are well maintained, but traffic can be dense and congested, especially on the freeways. Even though average commute time in Cocoa is about 3 minutes shorter than the national average commute, you will undoubtedly experience backed up traffic, especially between peak rush hours of 7 am to 9 am and 4 am to 6 am. Traffic on the A1A which goes from Cocoa across the Indian River and Merritt Island and the Banana River to Cocoa Beach gets particularly congested throughout the day.
  • When you are driving car rentals in Cocoa, you will undoubtedly encounter toll roads. Many of these toll roads accept electronic payment only. Consider investing in your car rental agency’s toll program in order to avoid fines from both the state of Florida and your car rental company. Often, if you try to pay electronically with your own transponder in a rental car, the payment will not register because the account name for the transponder does not match the registered owner of the car. Thus, you get fined. Also, for those driving car rentals in Cocoa, do not slow down or attempt to stop when going through electronic payment toll booths. Also, those driving car rentals in Cocoa need to be aware that bridges often have fares you must pay in order to cross.
  • Book your car hire in Cocoa at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini car hire in Cocoa are around -12% cheaper than other car types, on average

Enterprise refused to rent me the vehicle in FL because I am renting a car in RI through an insurance company, due to my personal car is being serviced/repaired at the Porsche Dealership. (Enterprise is the only company at the Porsche Dealership). Very poor company policy for business travelers in multiple states that two cars cannot be rented at same time.

Hard to find the office. The address on the office didn’t work great with google maps. The address from google itself worked. Also, there’s still too much nonsense paperwork even if you reserve and pay online, but the whole rental car industry is guilty of this.

Pros:

I did not like it very much! When I went to get the car on Merrit Island the seller made me use another card, different from what I had used in the app, and paid for it. With this he must have created another reservation, resulting in a duplicate payment upon the return of the vehicle. How do I g

Cons:

I paid twice for the rent. One when I applied for the app, already cashed in my Debit card, and another when I returned the car. Besides the fact that when I went to get the car on Merritt Island the seller did not want to accept the same card that I made the payment in the Kaiak app.

Pros:

Easy to book.

Cons:

Contacted support and all is ready, we go to the lot, person advises us that they have no cars available, once we tell him that we need it just for a few hours within the city limits then he finds us something, however problems hit when registering cards, no debit maestro accepted and it didnt specify on the siten my friend gives a card and accepted but then her DL was required, then he advises us that i cannot rent as i am 23 and only over 25 can rent a car, while on the website it says that it is possible to rent it just is more costly which is fine. Stupidly on the website my card was accepted and i brought cash for incidentals and offered to pay full in cash but did not accept it. So we never got our car and it ruined our day, not to mention walking in rain afer all that... stupid.
