Important information about Destin car rentals

Car rentals in Destin offer one of the most convenient means of touring the Florida city, allowing you to visit numerous sites within the town, such as the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park and Destin Harbor Boardwalk. US Highway 98 provides a convenient route to get around the city and areas outside the region, such as Miramar Beach. You can also access the Downtown area, shopping places, and eateries along the Spence Parkway. The city has several spaces and lots, delivering efficient and paid parking options for visitors. You can also find around 20 car rental locations in Destin for added convenience.

While visiting, is it worthwhile to get a rental car in Destin?

The different paid parking lots with daily and hourly rates, such as on Marler and Zerbe streets, enhance your maneuverability when using a car rental in this town. The lovely Destin beaches make it a popular destination for tourists, creating a checkout rush in the morning. If you take your family to the sandy beaches and want to avoid traffic congestion, leave earlier or enjoy additional sightseeing time while waiting for a mid-afternoon checkout. The city also has a couple of widening projects along Highway 98, creating congestion during the morning and early evening rush hours. You’ll want to take your Destin car rental out earlier in the day to avoid frustratingly long waits since the highway links to major roads within the city, including the Spence Parkway. Consider grabbing a cheap car rental in Destin and driving under two hours to neighboring towns for a more adventurous trip, such as a visit to the Conecuh National Forest Open Pond Recreation Area in Andalusia. Generally, Destin is not a walkable town, and finding the perfect fit like an economy car rental ensures you can navigate the city with ease. Having a rented vehicle enables you to access the several spaced-out Destin attractions for trips with family and friends, such as Crab Island, Boogies Watersports, and Gator Beach.

What laws should I keep in mind while driving in Destin?

As you enjoy a ride in your car rental in Destin, be aware of the driving laws specific to Florida. The state requires you to move over to another lane or slow down to approximately 20mph when passing police cars or a pulled-over car on the roadside. If you do not slow down or move over in your passenger van rental or any other rental you choose, you get a fine and points taken off your license. You can also legally, albeit attentively, turn right on a red light on most roads and streets that have no signs restricting the red-light turn. Keep in mind that the legal alcohol limit when driving in Florida is 0.08% as you attend social events and dinners in Destin. It is advisable to verify with Destin's department of motor vehicles any recent law changes.

Will I need a special driver's license or permit to drive a rental car in Destin if I'm visiting from another country?

Most companies providing rental cars in Destin require an original national driver's license with validity throughout the rental period. If you own a foreign driving license in a non-English language, you should also have an International Driver's Permit. You must also present an original and valid passport or photo ID to get the rented vehicle. On average, many providers have a 25-year age limit to rent a vehicle, applicable to locals and foreign drivers. Nonetheless, many car rentals in Destin allow travelers aged 21-24 years to rent certain car models at an additional fee. Most rental services in Destin do not accept cash or debit card payments, requiring you to complete your rental agreements via credit card only.
