KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Port St. Lucie
While Port St. Lucie does have public transportation, the routes are limited, making it a less viable option for exploring the city. What’s more, the city is so well-placed centrally on the eastern coast of Florida, that it invites visitors to explore the surrounding area; essentially, securing a car rental in Port St. Lucie is a great way to take advantage of the opportunities for tourism and adventure available. A personal vehicle will also provide you with the luxury of time flexibility—arrive at your destination when you want, then leave when you want.
When heading to Port St. Lucie via plane, you’ll land at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI). Here at the airport, you’ll find a number of available car rental companies, including Hertz, National, Enterprise, Alamo, Budget, Thrifty and more. To find the rental company service desks, go to level one of the terminal and head toward the exit. Here, you will be able to check in for your Port St. Lucie car rental.
With a rich aquatic environment and a fun downtown scene, visitors to Port St. Lucie will want to keep alert, especially on the city’s many bridges, and look out for pedestrians that are enjoying neighborhoods replete with shops and restaurants. While there are marked crosswalks, you will find that many people choose to cross at unmarked spots along the roads. Additionally, since there are many waterways running through the city, you’ll find that traffic patterns are focused along a handful of routes.
While you are visiting the city, take advantage of the commuting flexibility that a car rental in Port St. Lucie affords you and try to travel outside of the city’s rush hours. During the mornings, you can expect increased traffic between about 7am and about 9am. Toward the end of the workday, traffic increases again between roughly 4pm and 6pm.

FAQs about hiring a car in Port St. Lucie
What type of car is recommended for driving in Port St. Lucie?
In the sweltering and humid weather of central and southern Florida, it’s a great benefit to have a vehicle with good air conditioning, especially from spring through fall when temperatures are exceedingly high. Because of this, we recommend a sedan, which also grants you the added agility and comfort you may want for navigating city roads that have quite a few bridges.
What’s the speed limit in Port St. Lucie?
When you are in Port St. Lucie, you can expect to see speed limits that are consistent with other roadways throughout the country. In residential areas, you’ll typically find posted speeds of around 30mph. This can increase slightly on major intercity roadways to between about 35mph and even 55mph. For highways and major interstates, like Florida’s Turnpike, posted speed limits may be around 65mph to 70mph. Take note that you’ll want to drive a little slower when traversing wooden or narrow bridges.

Port St. Lucie Enterprise did not have any vehicles and cancelled our reservation. Had to go to Fort Pierce Enterprise where they charged us more for the same vehicle. Poor car rental experience

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.
