KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Lake Mary

  • Considering using car rentals in Lake Mary because it is convenient for travelers who need to go around the city on their schedule. In contrast to the Sun Trail and The 103 buses, flexibility is one benefit of renting a car in Lake Mary. Apart from this, you can plan and modify your trip schedule when choosing Lake Mary car rentals. Furthermore, you can visit the city's finest attractions, such as the Central Florida Zoo, Botanical Gardens, and the Lake Mary Museum.
  • If you are using Orlando Sanford (SFB) Airport as your arrival destination in the city and need to rent a car, you need not worry. There are various car rentals agencies such as Hertz, Budget, Alamo, Enterprise, Avis, Dollar, Thrifty, and National that you can consider booking your preferred car model. Locating car rental offices in Orlando Sanford (SFB) Airport is quick, thanks to clear directions and company logos displayed inside and outside the airport’s terminal. Once you pay for your preferred car rental, you must exit the terminal and cross Red Cleveland Blvd to pick up your car keys.
  • It's essential to remember that when you are driving your rental car in Lake Mary, most drivers pay attention to the car in front of them and give the person driving behind them very little to no regard. As a result, a car in front of you might turn without signaling. Maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and the one in front. As you travel along Lake Emma Road and Rinehart Road, you should also be aware of the numerous pedestrians. They routinely cross the roadway without checking both directions for oncoming traffic.
  • Your excitement with car rentals in Lake Mary starts fading once you start moving around the city during the rush hours, which begin in the morning from 7 am to 9 am and 5 pm to 7 pm during the evening. You should avoid using the downtown routes, Alba Lane, E Alma Avenue, and E Greentree avenue, for they are highly affected during the rush hours in the city. Also, expect difficult driving experiences in March and September of every year. This is the period at which the town celebrates some of the annual events, such as the Lake Mary Heathrow Festival of the Arts and The Ultimate Car Show & Festivals.

This location was offsite from the airport and did not have a shuttle service. The location itself is an auto garage and does not look like the typical budget rental car location. I still have not received my receipt that was supposed to be emailed after returning the vehicle so I’m reserving my full review until I know if I was unnecessarily billed for anything.

Pros:

CHRYSLER VAN WAS NICE & ROOMY.

Cons:

I drove down to Enterprise the week before when i made the reservation with KAYAK to confirm they had me in the system.....and they did. When i went to pickup the van Enterprise said they cancelled the order......WHAT!!!!! Representative said they tried to reach me by phone the day before and did not get me to confirm rental........WHAT! I showed him the VMS i recieved and that I called right back and did not get a sole to answer the phone. I told the Rep that most other companies use TEXT to verify / confirm transactions. Glad I saved the VMS & Phone call times. My guess is that they rented my van to another unhappy customer? Manager came out and resolved the issue and had a van delivered from the airport to their site......I had to come back later to pickup the van. Never had much luck with Enterprise and probably will avoid using them again.......always seem shady in their dealings with me.

No midsize cars, got a compact SUV, car rental was 15 miles from airport with no shuttle. Cost over 75.00 to get back and forth to rental location. Just not a good experience.

Pros:

Price was right......manager on-site worked with me to get issue resolved.

Cons:

When I reserve a car a 2 weeks in advance and call night before to verify reservation, it would be nice to actually have a car available. Need to call customers ahead of time to let them know there are no cars available so that customer can make alternative plans and not waste time driving to location.

Pros:

Drop off was easy but the pickup was a major issue. 2hr wait and didn't get the size vehicle I paid for. Also, the vehicle had sensors going off, brake lights didn't work, and got the car on empty gas tank.

Cons:

Better support, customer service, and coordination. Reserved a month in an advance and got treated like I just reserved the prior day. Will never rent through Hertz again.
