KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Palm Bay

  • You need to get cheap car rentals Palm Bay whenever you’re traveling to the area. A rental car provides the best way to get around the city and check out different attractions in Palm Bay. With your rental, you can visit places such as Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge, the Maritime Hammock Sanctuary, and the Melbourne Beach Pier all in one day. Additionally, you can check out neighboring cities such as Orlando, which is roughly 70 miles away, and see all the popular sites including Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, and Magic Kingdom Park.
  • You can get your cheap Palm Bay car rentals from Melbourne Orlando International Airport which is the main airport serving the Palm Bay and Melbourne area. The airport has about four rental companies providing services including Hertz, Thrifty, and Budget. The rental shops are located a few minutes away from the terminal and you can choose to walk to the rental center or take the shuttle provided by the rental companies. To make the process of picking up your rental car slightly easier, you can make a reservation online via KAYAK so that when you arrive at the airport it is just a matter of paying and driving away.
  • When driving your car rental in Palm Bay, you should be cautious of pedestrians and cyclists. The town is fairly walkable which leads to high pedestrian and bicycle traffic which can be quite chaotic at times. To avoid getting involved in any incidents, always leave space on the road for cyclists and use your indicator lights when making a turn. You should also double-check crosswalks at intersections before going through even when the lights say that it is safe to do so.
  • Driving in Palm Bay can be quite tricky especially because of the narrow streets and intersections after every few minutes. Navigating these streets can be slightly difficult so you need to get a GPS installed on your car rental in Palm Bay so that you can get to your destinations much easier. Traffic is also a huge factor especially downtown during rush hours. The best way to beat this is to leave early and avoid the hours between 8 am and 10 am as well as between 5 pm and 7 pm.
  • Book your car hire in Palm Bay at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Palm Bay are around 59% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

The car was not ready in Melbourne. I called an hour before I arrived to make sure the car was ready, so our friends did not have to wait for us. Once we got to the car lot we wait an hour for the car to be cleaned. We were on VACATION not watching a car get cleaned lesson.

Pros:

The drop of was fast.

Cons:

Waited additional time for SUV to be cleaned, then more time because the keys were locked in the vehicle after they finished cleaning it. It wasn't that clean and was infested with ants. I had 5 children with me that had ants crawling on then the entire trip. Due to the pickup delay we were running late to our event so I didn't have time for another vehicle of that size to be located to switch although it was offered.

Pros:

Since our reservation booked us at a non existent location, the nearby Enterptise took us in quickly and upgraded our rental car.

Cons:

Kayak booked us at an Enterprise that had closed/did not exist anymore. It was challenging with our 6 month old, but eventually worked out.

Standard SUV

It took over an hour to get to the desk. There were two people working on a Friday at noon. When I finally did get to the counter the car I reserved was not there as budget had no more cars available at the location. So the car that I reserved the night before wasn’t there. When asked why get a reservation if it doesn’t grantee a car I got an attitude and no answer. After trying to find another rental car with a different company I was forced to take a 80 dollar uber ride to my destination. While waiting on my uber ride there was the budget associate smoking a cigarette while the line was still ridiculously long. Always used Budget in the past and it was my go too for rentals. Unfortunately after this experience and extreme disappointment in the reservation not holding my car I will not rent from budget again.

I put the wrong pick up times and was no allowed to change it, even though it would have given Hertz more money. Ridiculous.

Pros:

Staff was friendly and informative.

Cons:

I tried calling multiple locations to exchange my rental for another one because I had a nail in the tire and other problems and no one answered nor anyone called me back, 1 location was the wrong number, please have your locations update their locations and phone numbers. Picking up my rental was not clean and smelled like smoke and dog.
