Exploring Palm Beach County is easy with car rentals in Boca Raton. Spend the day driving up and down the coast, stopping at the local beaches and eateries, or simply enjoying the views of the Atlantic Ocean. Visit Lake Okeechobee or the Big Cypress National Preserve in the Everglades, both of which are under 90 miles west of the city. You can also drive 30min south to visit Ft. Lauderdale, and an additional 30min drive will get you to the shopping and nightlife of Miami.
Accessing the Rental Car Center at Miami International Airport is easy using the MIA Mover, an automated tram running between the airport’s main terminal and the Rental Car Center. The purple MIA Mover signs throughout the airport will direct you to the MIA Mover station, located on the third level of the main terminal between the Dolphin and Flamingo garages (near Concourse E). This free shuttle tram takes you to the Rental Car Center's customer service lobby, a short 4-minute ride from the airport.
Boca Raton’s streets are easy to navigate, making it a great city for driving in a rental car. There aren’t many confusing road environments such as one-way streets or traffic circles to worry about. However, travelers should use caution at the intersection of Glades Road and State Road 7 near the Shadowood Square mall, there are three turning lanes from State Road 7 that turn onto Glades Road, and this has been the source of many accidents.
Unless there is an event going on in the city, Boca Raton has relatively little traffic congestion, although traffic does slow down during the morning and evening rush hours, especially on Glades Road near the I-95 interchange. Traffic is worse during the height of winter (when the "snowbirds," aka Northerners, flock to the city), the height of summer vacation, and during spring break.
Booking cheap car rentals in Boca Raton gives you the freedom to explore the city throughout the day. This is advantageous, unlike boarding buses that halt at particular towns at specific hours. If you're traveling with kids, you can take them to Children's Science Explorium, located 1.8 miles (2.9km) and a 4-minutedrive from the city center. Another place to drive to is the Red Reef Park, located 5.5 miles (8.9km) and a 7-minutedrive from the city center. Renting a car for longer enables one to visit numerous attractions, including Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse, located 6.61 miles (10.6km), a 10-minutedrive from the city center.
Beware of pedestrians, crosswalks, and school crossing signs when driving a rental car in Boca Raton. Boca Raton streets have clear signposts on speeds, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Again, avoid driving on pedestrian or cyclist only-streets to avoid injuring pedestrians to avoid hefty fines. These streets have visible designs, pavement markers and signs separated from traffic by a visible barrier. Again, you need to be at least 20 feet before making a right turn near a bicyclist. Also, you must allow a group of 10 cyclists to pass through an intersection first before you continue driving.
Beware of DUI traffic stops in Boca Raton city. You're considered drunk if your alcohol blood concentration is 0.08 or higher.

FAQs about renting a car in Boca Raton
What type of car is recommended for driving in Boca Raton?
Car rentals in Boca Raton provide the perfect excuse to drive a convertible, especially if you plan to spend time driving along the coast to take in the water views.

Many of the main roads in Boca Raton have posted speed limits of 40 to 45mph, although the major highways, such as I-95 and Florida’s Turnpike, have speed limits up to 70mph.

The day before my scheduled pick up, the Boca Raton branch called to let me know that there may be a shortage of cars and to call the day I arrived to see if my requested car was available. I called multiple times that day but no answer. Also realize that Kayak allowed me to make a reservation for a 5pm pickup, however the location closed at 5pm so if I showed up a few minutes late I wouldnt have been able to pick it up. The booking system should not allow reservations to be made at the locations closing time. As a result I did not pick up the rental. I did not hear from the rental location either, and ended up using Uber for my entire trip.

Staff was on time. Drop off and check out were quick and convenient.
No cars were available except for pickups and e cars. What's the point of making the reservation months ahead???? Very slow service, 4 people in front of us, had to wait 1 hour.

The car definitely looked like it has not been cleaned at all. I actually drove home and my boyfriend and I immediately cleaned the WHOLE car. We even found a used face mask in the back seat!
The car was not available for pickup, so I didn’t pick it up and told the staff I would not be able to pick up the car later or use a different type of car, but they are now charging me a late fee.
