Main roads in and around Port Charlotte are generally spacious and well-maintained. This means that choosing a larger or a standard-size vehicle is ideal for driving in Port Charlotte. If you plan to explore along the coast or drive to the wetlands in Myakka River State Park, a larger vehicle may be a sensible option. Larger cars, like an SUV, give you good height off the road in case of flooding. The off-road capability will also make it easier to explore certain rural areas.

Pros:
reserved a car for a Thursday pick up and a Sunday drop off. For a Sunday drop off I was given the choice of the CVG airport or Montgomery Rd. I chose the Montgomery Rd location. Sunday morning went to look up the address and the google page said it was closed. Called Hertz customer service and they assured us we could do a drop off there. Drove an hour to the location, its closed, big sign on door NO OVERNIGHT DROP OFFS. Called customer service, they said take car to the Kemper Rd location. Got to that location sign on door THIS LOCATION IS CLOSED FOR REMODELING. Called customer service again, they couldn't help, transferred us to roadside assistance. We were on hold for 55 minuets and they just hung up. Called the Montgomery Rd unit on Monday, they said they would not count the vehicle as checked in until they could spare someone to go to the second location and bring the car back.Cons:
Every part of this experience could have been better, except the price, the price was goodOne location in Port Charlotte
