KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Okeechobee

  • Using car rentals in Okeechobee offers numerous advantages for both locals and visitors. The city's spread-out layout and limited public transportation make a rental car convenient. With a car, you can easily explore attractions like Lake Okeechobee and nearby natural wonders, maintain flexible schedules, and access remote areas not covered by public transit. This freedom and convenience make renting a car the better option for efficient, personalized, and comfortable transportation in Okeechobee. With Okeechobee car rentals, you can visit areas like Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park and Arnold's Wildlife Rehabilitation Center more easily.
  • When you fly to Okeechobee, you'll likely land at Palm Beach Intl Airport (PBI). Travelers arriving at the airport will find the process of obtaining car rentals to be convenient. Upon collecting your baggage from the designated area, proceed directly to the counters of various car rental companies. These counters are situated on the terminal building's first floor. While some companies provide round-the-clock services, others may close during the late evening hours. For those arriving late, there's also the option of utilizing off-site transportation services to reach rental companies that remain operational at such times.
  • Using car rentals in Okeechobee is easy since driving in this city is generally calm and relaxed, reflecting the city's peaceful atmosphere. Residents and drivers here tend to respect traffic rules and drive with patience. While the traffic volume is moderate, bicycles are less common, and trucks are present due to the city's rural surroundings. Jaywalking isn't a major issue, and pedestrians usually use designated crossings. Common vehicles include sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks, reflecting the city's suburban character.
  • Although an unforgettable experience, navigating car rentals in Okeechobee can occasionally pose challenges due to the city's limited road infrastructure. Rush hour, typically around 7 am to 9 am and 4 pm to 6 pm, can result in congestion on main routes like US-441 and State Road 70, affecting travel times. Road maintenance in certain areas might lead to temporary detours or uneven surfaces. Navigating rural areas could be tricky due to limited signage and dimly lit roads at night. It's important to watch out for slow-moving agricultural vehicles and ensure your rental car is equipped for unexpected weather changes, including heavy rain. While the overall driving style is relaxed, unfamiliar drivers should exercise caution on rural roads and intersections.

An SUV or crossover can handle the city's roads and the occasional rural terrain, offering ample space and better visibility. Given the potential for rain and wildlife encounters, a car with good traction control and safety features is advisable. Opt for a vehicle with decent ground clearance to navigate uneven surfaces, and choose one equipped with GPS navigation to explore the city and its surroundings easily.

  • What's the speed limit in Okeechobee?

    In Okeechobee, adhering to speed limits ensures safe and responsible driving. Residential roads have a speed limit of 30 mph, while school zones require reducing your speed to 20 mph to prioritize student safety. On divided highways, the speed limit is 65 mph, while rural interstates permit speeds of up to 70 mph. Staying within these limits contributes to road safety and a smoother driving experience in Okeechobee. Expect to be pulled over if you drive beyond these speed limits.

  • Where are the best places to park in Okeechobee?

    Parking options in Okeechobee vary based on your location. In the downtown area, you'll find street parking along with public parking lots, convenient for accessing shops and eateries. For outdoor enthusiasts visiting Lake Okeechobee, lakeside parking areas provide easy access to recreational activities. Designated parking lots accommodate nature enthusiasts at attractions like Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park. When exploring the city's outskirts, accommodations and shopping centers offer ample parking, ensuring a hassle-free experience throughout different regions of Okeechobee.

After making a reservation a few days earlier, they called me the night before and told me they didn't have what I had requested. After agreeing to accept something else, I showed up only to find that they in fact had NO cars available. I will never do business with Enterprise again!!!

There could have been an actual car to drive away in. What’s the point of making a reservation if you show up and don’t have a car reserved for you?

A bit slow at pick up due to amount or people hiring. Easy drop off. Both Avis staff were at pick up and drop off very nice.

Budget has always been my 1st choice for car rental. The Port St. Lucie and the West Palm beach staff are always friendly and accommodating when renting from their location. Some of the others could take a refresher's course on how to treat people. Again, never any surprises, with the exception of this rental 28-30th Jan 25 as the pick up rental price was different that the drop off, closing out the contract.

Pros:

We liked nothing about the experience. We got to the Budget Office in Port St Lucie and there was no car for us. The woman there insisted we travel an hour south (we were heading north) to hopefully get another car. No guarantees there either. We ended up having to drive 2 hours to Orlando to start all over by reserving another car. Our reservations contract was not honored.

Cons:

Everything? Maybe you could have reserved a car like you said you would?
