KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Estero

  • Getting car rentals in Estero offers several traveling advantages. Driving car rentals in Estero is an excellent way of exploring the city. In addition, you get complete control over when to start and end your journey. Unlike public transport, car rentals let you bring any amount of luggage you wish to bring along. You also get the flexibility to drive to any location, take as many pits stops as you want, and take pictures. If you are a first-time visitor to Estero, car rentals offer security and reliability hard to find with public transport. You can drive to the city's top attractions, including Lovers Key State Park, Estero Bay, and Mound Key Archaeological Ste Park.
  • Travelers arrive at Estero via Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) when taking a flight. The airport provides services that let you pick up and drop off car rentals in Estero. RSW features a Rental Car Service Center on the ground level of the parking garage. Arriving passengers can proceed downstairs, exit the baggage claim area and walk across the street to the car rental facility. You do not require shuttle services as it is an easy walk. Car rental agencies at the airport include Alamo, Avis, Enterprise, National, Payless, Fox, and Easirent. Consider making earlier reservations to avoid waiting for services for long hours.
  • Keeping the city’s driving easy is essential for Estero's safe navigation of car rentals. All drivers and passengers must have their seat belts on. Children under four must be in approved car safety seats. Always yield to an approaching emergency vehicle or police car with sirens and flashing lights. Most roundabouts do not require stopping, so vehicles approaching roundabouts must yield circulating traffic. Always keep your headlights on when using windshield wipers. Drunk driving is prohibited. In highways with three lanes, the right is used for lower speed while the left is for overtaking.
  • Driving car rentals in Estero is easy but has a few challenges. The rush hours peak daily between 7 am and 8 pm and 4 pm to 6 pm. Rush hour is a prime time for motor accidents. Avoid driving during these hours. However, if you must drive, avoid the traffic hotspots like U.S Route 17.
  • Book your car hire in Estero at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

I had to swap car in another city due to a mechanical problem. It took over an hour without any reduction in rate and a very low gas tank.

Cons:

Asked for a Camry and was put in a small Jeep suv that had very uncomfortable seating. Lower Back has hurt for a couple days. I should have pushed for the Camry I reserved. Note the Jeep SUV was not an upgrade in my opinion.

I was charged the rental cost on making my reservation, Kayak had no record of this transaction or the Insurance I paid for so when I get to the counter to pick up the car I’m charged again for what I paid a week earlier for I showed the counter person the charges came out of my account but that didn’t matter I have been charged twice so my experience with fox rentals was not good.

Our car was dirty. A bag of popcorn in the door. Covered in scratches. 75,000 miles .Our bill showed $80 for a drop off charge. She said it would not be on the final bill. She told me we would have toll charges and if I did not get a pass for $12 there would be an extra $15 processing fee. We paid. No toll needed. Slow service. I was embarrassed when I showed my wife and friends the car. Our friends dropped us off and waited 30 minutes with my wife while I waited and did paperwork. I already paid! I never give a negative review
