Top tips for renting a car at Pensacola airport

  • Whether you’re flying into Pensacola International Airport (PNS) for business or adventure, you’ll want to explore the Gulf Coast in style. Luckily, you can rent a car right from the airport. Car rental at Pensacola Airport should be at the top of your to-do list if you want to explore the vibrant Pensacola Bay, sugar-white beaches, and historic sites your way. From luxury cars to compact models, you can always find something to match your vacation style through the KAYAK website.
  • You’ll find car rentals next to the baggage claim section right in front of the terminal building. Main offices are situated at 2430 Airport Blvd. When the time comes to fly back home, return the vehicle to the same place you found it. Use navigation features or follow the signs reading ‘rental car return’ on the way to the airport. Drive into the car lot at the baggage claim area, take your luggage, and leave the keys at the rental desk. You might need to record the fuel level and mileage according to the agreement. It should be mailed to you shortly afterward.
  • Many residents prefer to go to downtown Pensacola and nearby beaches by foot, so you can expect relatively heavier pedestrian traffic. Watch out for people crossing the roads or marine life nesting on the beach parking. Pensacola Airport car rental lets you relax in your seat and eliminates the hurdle of waiting in line for public means of transport. During the peak hours, in the morning and evening, make a point of leaving early so you can make it to your destination in good time.
  • During the rental period, you’ll be responsible for all toll payments. Certain rental companies provide an optional e-toll service that allows you to drive through tolled bridges, highways, and lanes. Rental vehicles are specially equipped to process tolls electronically. All you have to do is agree with the rental supplier on how to access this program. You might have to share your credit card information to process the related fees.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars at Pensacola airport for C$ 45 or less
  • Book your rental car at Pensacola airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car at Pensacola airport

  • What conditions must you fulfill to pick up a car rental at Pensacola Airport?

    Rental qualifications apply to all renters at the time of picking up the cars. To avoid misunderstandings, have your ID or passport, credit card, and license matching the name on the reservation. If any doubts arise, the administrators may ask you to cancel and re-book a rental. Make sure your driver’s license is in your name, and the driving record is safe. For most companies, the minimum age for renters and their additional drivers is 21 and 25 years, respectively.

  • Are there any guaranteed reservations at Pensacola Airport car rental?

    Sometimes you want to ride in a specific convertible, minivan, or SUV when heading to certain locations. At the point of booking, check for cars that have been highlighted for guaranteed reservation. Such bookings are usually secured with a credit card. If you change your mind, follow the cancellation policy of your preferred car rental at Pensacola Airport.

  • What mode of payment is acceptable for car rental charges at PNS Airport?

    Review the T&C concerning credit card acceptance at PNS car rentals. You must meet all the requirements at the rental desk regardless of the prepayment method. Credit cards are the most preferred form of payment. Find out from your rental supplier the specific type of credit cards they accept. Avoid gift cards and prepaid debit cards during pick-up. The provider might evaluate your creditworthiness depending on the rental policy if you present a debit card (only at locations accepting this card). They will also request another form of identification. It is best to offer the same mode of payment you used during your online reservation for identification reasons. Confirm whether you need to give proof of return flight ticket at the airport location.

    On average a rental car at Pensacola airport costs C$ 48 per day.

The price on Kayak was for a managers special. Which they make an electric car then charge nearly 100 to “upgrade” to an automatic. Complete rip off. All the staff were courteous but the whole thing is a corporate scam.

Since I needed a car, it was good. The counter person was dismissive, just did the basics, explaining both (such as do I bring it back filled or not?, THAT was important and expensive), then handed me paperwork with instructions to go to the Dollar kiosk in the garage for my keys and vehicle. No one has entered the Dollar kiosk in that garage in quite a whlie. No employee present anywhere near, I wandered around, found the car, still no help. 15 minutes later a car driver brought a car in and saw me, directed me to the HERTZ kiosk for my keys. She actually got the keys for me. I wish I had her name. The car was not clean, had several minor things that no longer worked, nothing that affected drive ability and I was already hours late. Little, annoying things. And the oil change notice kept coming on at odd times. It was NOT worth that kind of money.

Pros:

Drop off easy.

Cons:

Dollar window was closed so we had to go to Hertz who took their customers first. Car was very stinky and the key fob went dead half way through our trip and we had to stop and replace it as we were afraid the car wouldn't start or we wouldn't be able to lock or unlock it at a stop

The car was fine. Budget was deceptive regarding the Toll Fees. I was asked if I wanted to pre-pay for Toll's and I declined as I was told I would receive something in the mail. They are now trying to charge me $17.00 for "Toll Convenience Fee" when the toll itself was only 3 dollars.

I waited for over 2 hours for my vehicle at the airport and then waited another 30 minutes in the garage only to find out literally the only vehicle they had was a minivan and not the truck I needed. 3 other people went after me and picked up other vehicles but for some reason they singled me out and literally just ignored me while I waited patiently. The staff were not clear in what the problem was nor was there any sort of management or sense of urgency. I want a refund for wasting my time, giving me a terrible large oversized vehicle for me just one person, for my one vacation I take a year, and doing nothing to treat me as a customer or person. They could have easily given me a small car or suv but said no when asked.. minivan only. They also messed up on the booking and added a day before I even picked it up.

Despite having a reservation, had to wait in line at counter for over 45 minutes, as three agents were handling all rentals for Avis, Budget, and Payless, and none of the three seemed to have cars ready. After finally making it out to the garage, had to wait another 30 minutes because the car assigned to me was not ready—over an hour after my scheduled (reserved?) pick up time. Received a hybrid vehicle and did not appreciate the engine cutting off at every stop and the lack of power on the road. On return, only one guy was on duty trying to check in all the cars being returned. This operation is a joke; avoid it at all costs!

Super long wait to pick up, took one hour. Customer service was horrible. Didn’t have the car available that I had a reservation for.
