Top tips for renting a car in Fort Myers
- When you are visiting Fort Myers, it is important to know about the seatbelt laws that exist in the state of Florida before you head out in car rentals in Fort Myers. The law in Florida states that every driver and passenger in a vehicle must be in a seatbelt. Children five years of age and less need to be in an approved child safety seat. It is important to note that seatbelt laws in Florida are a primary law. That means that the police can pull you over only due to the fact that you are violating one of the seatbelt laws.
- While many of us are quite used to using our phones in a variety of settings, it is important to understand the limits and rules regarding their use when driving Fort Myers car rentals. In the state of Florida, drivers are banned from using handheld devices to do anything such as texting, browsing social media, or any other activity that physically involves typing on the device. You also may not use your phone to make phone calls unless you do so in a hands-free manner. Drivers may not hold their phone in any way while they drive and that includes things such as wedging the phone between your head and your shoulder.
- The Fort Myers area has two large airports that offer visitors to Fort Myers plenty of places to obtain car rentals in Fort Myers. Even if you have already arrived in Fort Myers and then decide to rent a car there's no reason to head back to one of the airport locations. There are plenty of places to rent cars in the downtown Fort Myers area and also along the Interstate 75 corridor. One of the great things about renting car in these locations is that they will generally allow you to return them to the airport when you depart Fort Myers.
- Whether you’ve come to Fort Myers for the many golf opportunities, to visit the Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium with its museum and nature trails, or to hang out at Fort Myers’ beaches, renting a car can easily get you to all the destinations in and around the area. Don’t waste time and energy on public transport that cannot reach every nook and cranny of the city. Explore Fort Myers in your own time and gain maximum flexibility with a rental car.
- Southwest Florida International Airport has various companies like Avis or Hertz located inside, so travelers can conveniently pick up their rental car upon arrival.

Also note that there are some off-site rental car services as well, and shuttles are provided around the corner of the parking garage to reach them.
- When driving in Fort Myers, don’t forget that Florida has some street regulations which drivers from other states might not be familiar with. It is, for instance, allowed to turn right at an intersection even if the light is red, provided that no one is coming into the intersection.

- The high season in Fort Myers is in the winter months between December and April. During these months, traffic increases heavily, especially when driving towards one of the beaches.

May 2021
Pros:
The car was clean and in great running condition.Cons:
When I booked this vehicle, I had set the pickup location to RSW Airport. The car was a 28 minute uber away from the airport, which cost me additional money. When I asked if I could return it to the airport, they said no. This required us to leave the hotel an hour earlier to get the car dropped off and get a ride to the airport before we left. The staff at Enterprise wasn't rude, but they weren't friendly either. I don't generally write bad reviews, but it was very irritating that I booked a vehicle to be picked up at the airport and was not informed that the location that they reserved was not at the airport. I put that fault on KAYAK and not Enterprise.8.0 Very good

Pros:
The staff at pick up was not very friendly or took the time to explain things. Had to look for staff to get the car. Pickup was easy but I prefer an attendant to be there to give me my receipt so I know what I’m being charged and when there isn’t an attendant, an email of the charges should be sent.Cons:
See above6.0 Okay
May 2021
Pros:
Car was very clean and drop off was a breeze.Cons:
It took an hour and 15 minutes to pickup our car. There were only two people working the counter. All the other rental companies were flying through their lines. Maybe there was a lack of training or just plain inefficiency with your counter attendants. We then were given terrible directions and no details on where our rental car would be. We walked around for 10 minutes, lugging three carseats, three suitcases, and three children trying to find the car. Our car was in the hertz spots and if it wasn’t for the garage attendant, we never would’ve looked there because we rented from dollar. Due to that experience, and knowing others in our family had the same experience I’m not sure I will be renting from Dollar again. I should’ve listened to the reviews. It’s worth paying a little more with another company for a quicker pickup process.6.0 Okay
May 2021
Pros:
Car was clean. Online process was simple (see below about in person)Cons:
Pick-up took over an hour even after online reservation. Not enough staff at airport to handle demand. Several rental car companies where routed through one single line. Once we arrived at the rental desk, an agent said the lines had been lengthy for over two weeks. That should have generated a better flow or additional agents available. Be sure to weigh the option of the pass if you do not plan to go in/out of Sanibel Island. We probably overpaid. As others have mentioned, prices are excessive everywhere right now with rental charges.4.0 Mediocre

They charged me a different much higher daily rate. I contacted them and they adjusted it but it was still a pain to need to deal with to get it to the correct price.8.0 Very good
Apr. 2021
Pros:
The car was clean and reliable and got us from place to place. It had good gas mileage.Cons:
Lower pricing. The lane warning feature was extremely annoying, and I wanted to turn it off. When we picked up the vehicle, the woman helping us was not extremely friendly, and when we dropped off the vehicle, it was unclear what to do because no one helped us at first.Hertz

May 2021
Cons:
Our plane was delayed by a mechanical problem. I called budget to tell them it wasn’t certain we would pick up that night but would be on the first flight out in the morning and pick up our rental then. On the first call I was told no problem. The second call to confirm we had missed our connection I was told that Budget would not hold the car, that we would need to modify the reservation, which would cost an additional $200+ in spite of having the car one fewer day. I called back several times to see if a manager would help me to no avail. We ended up making a reservation with Alamo for less than our original one with Budget. Budget should have done the right thing and held the car til the next day at no extra cost.2.0 Poor

Pros:
The car was cleanCons:
First of all it was off site which was less than clear when I made the reservation. After waiting 20 minutes for a shuttle, the line at the place was just about out the door. When I finally got to the agent I was hustled out of my reservation and charged more because I was "late" for my reservation, I ended up there 3 hours after my reservation started because our flight was delayed. The woman said she had to cancel my reservation and make a new one which was over $100 more than my original quote. I was "upgraded" from a fullsize car to a compact SUV which was in all honestly smaller than the fullsize car I had booked. We could barely fit two small suitcases in the back and the back seat was abysmally small. 1/10 would NOT recommend fox rent a car.8.0 Very good

Ok...where should I start? For starters they didn't have the car I reserved. However, I did start at the wrong Payless location so I will take partial blame. I still feel like they could of provided a better car. The car I received was disgustingly dirty, one headlight was out, and the smell of cigar smoke was awful. I called many times to complain and try to get the headlight fixed, but the customer service was pathetic at best. Never fully understanding my issue. I ended up popping the hood and fixing the headlight myself. I will NEVER.....NEVER EVER NEVER EVER rent through Payless again.Easirent
