Car rentals in Delray Beach allow you to easily travel throughout the region without having to deal with public transportation or expensive taxi rides. Enjoy having the freedom and flexibility to visit popular nearby cities, such as Boynton Beach and Lake Worth. Visit the scenic Lake Okeechobee, a popular site that can be reached by car from Delray Beach in around 1h 30min.
If you are interested in Delray Beach car rentals, you can always pick up your reserved vehicle from Palm Beach International Airport. Simply head to the car rental services center, which is conveniently located on the first floor of the arrivals terminal near the baggage claim. As it is within the main building, you don’t need to worry about taking a shuttle or taxi to the location. You will find several different rental companies that are located on-site, including Avis, Enterprise, and National.
Delray Beach is known for being filled with pedestrians and cyclists, so make sure to drive extra cautiously and avoid bike lanes in order to prevent yourself from getting in a collision. The town also has many small and windy streets, particularly along the coast, so you may be interested in adding a GPS system to your rental car to help you navigate the city.
Many residents travel in and out of the city for work, so local highways, such as A1A, 1, and 95, are generally very congested during rush hour. If you don’t want to risk getting caught in a traffic jam, try to avoid driving on these roads between the hours of 8am to 9am and 5pm to 6pm. During the fall, Delray Beach tends to be rainier than normal, which can make the streets slippery. If you get caught in a storm, try to drive below the speed limit in order to be as safe as possible.

FAQs about hiring a car in Delray Beach
What type of car is recommended for driving in Delray Beach?
As the area is particularly popular for its recreational activities, SUVs can be a convenient choice for car rentals in Delray Beach due to their ability to hold items, such as surfboards, kayaks, beach equipment, and bikes. Compact vehicles are also a convenient choice, as they facilitate navigating the city’s small streets and parking in tight areas.

Police officers are often watching the traffic on highways, so make sure to abide by traffic laws. There are also often traffic cameras in the city’s busy intersections, so avoid speeding as to not receive a fine.

The 4th and 5th Delray Garage is located in the heart of the downtown area and charges a $5 flat rate for the entire day, while the lot at Anchor Park is directly on the coast and has a fee of around $1.50 per hour.

Which car hire agencies are at Miami airport (MIA)?
Can't reach a person at Thrifty at pickup location. Always sends me to website or automated person. Wanted to change drop off location and found it impossible to get assistance with this whether on website or on phone. No customer service available. Very frustrating!
Absolutely despicable customer service. They had no cars available in my class (requested a mini van) and did not communicate this prior to my arrival. The manager Klaus was insulting and refused to rent me a different vehicle even though they had two available. I am in the process of escalating the awful experience to the Enterprise corporate office. I would not recommend this company to anyone and encourage everyone to stay away from this office and this manager.
