Frequently asked questions
- What's the cheapest car rental company in Fort Myers?
- It changes weekly. Enterprise, Alamo, and Budget are usually the most aggressive on economy rates in Fort Myers, but Sixt and consolidators can win on luxury and SUV classes.
- Is it cheaper to rent a car at RSW or downtown?
- Off-airport pickup is typically 15–30% cheaper, but you'll spend on a rideshare or shuttle to get there. We can price both options on the phone. Call 1 (815) 473-8090 for phone-only fares
- Do I need to buy the rental company's insurance?
- Not usually — most US credit cards include collision damage waiver as a perk, and personal auto insurance may extend to rentals. Confirm with your card and insurer before declining the rental company's CDW.
- What is the minimum age to rent a car in Fort Myers?
- 21 at most agencies in Fort Myers, with a young-driver surcharge of $20–$30/day until age 25. A few brands rent to 18+ in select states. Call 1 (815) 473-8090 for phone-only fares
- Can I drop the car off in a different city?
- Yes, but expect a one-way drop fee of $50–$300 depending on distance and destination. Within a single region you can sometimes get it waived.
- Should I prepay for fuel?
- Almost never. Prepaid-fuel rates assume you return the car empty, which is hard to time. Refilling at the closest gas station is usually $10–$25 cheaper. Call 1 (815) 473-8090 for phone-only fares
