Compare airport vs. nearby city locations. PGD counters are convenient but run about 18 % higher. Check Port Charlotte or Punta Gorda City rates, then weigh the $20-30 taxi/Uber against the savings.
Shift your dates if you can. Winter (Dec-Apr) is peak and pricey, while July-Aug is off-season and often 30-40 % cheaper. Use our calendar view to see how a one-day tweak can drop the total.
Look at weekly pricing even for a 4–5-day trip. Southwest Florida agencies often price a 7-day rental lower than five separate daily rates.
Book with free cancellation, then keep stalking prices. Rates bounce up and down; if you spot a lower deal later, re-book in two clicks and cancel the old one.

What documents do I need to rent a car at PGD?
You will need a valid driver's license, a credit card in your name and your booking confirmation. If you are visiting from another country, you need your passport. You should also carry an International Driving Permit if your home-country license is not in English or does not use the Latin alphabet.
Can I return my rental to a different location?
Yes, you can book a one-way rental. You might not have to pay a drop fee for many trips inside Florida (like to Tampa, Orlando or Miami), but you should ask about this when you book.
What is the minimum age to rent a car at Punta Gorda Airport?
You must be at least 21 to rent a car. If you are between 21 and 24, the rental company will charge you a young driver fee of about $25 to $30 per day.
Are there any restrictions on where I can drive my rental car?
Most rental companies let you drive unlimited miles inside Florida. You should ask your rental company if they have any rules about driving out of state.
What happens if my flight is delayed and I arrive after the rental counter closes?
You should give the rental company your flight number when you book. The staff at the rental counter usually watches for flight delays and will stay open if your flight is late. If you know you'll be arriving very late, you should ask your rental company how to pick up your car after hours.
