Destin car hire

Since the city is small and has many tight roads, a compact car is a convenient choice for your Destin car rental. A smaller model will make it easier to park when space is limited, and it will help you to clearly navigate through the town’s narrow streets.

When you’re driving near Destin, the speed limit on Highway 98 is generally between 35 to 40mph. However, in some areas, you can plan on it being as low as 25mph. Within the city itself, speed limits are on average 25mph, but some streets have limits as low as 7mph. Major intersections often have video cameras, so avoid speeding to not receive a ticket. There are usually many police officers stationed along Highways 98 and 293, so you’ll want to be careful when driving there as well.

While it is possible to find some free street parking, it can be difficult to snag them. The City of Destin offers quite a few paid parking options for a flat rate of $5 per 24h. These include public parking lots at the Destin Community Center, Destin Library, Marler Street, and Zerbe Street. Keep in mind that these different parking options have a first-come, first serve basis, so try to arrive early in the day to ensure that you have a spot.
