Top tips for renting a car in Sanford

  • Explore every nook and cranny of Sanford with your own four wheels by opting for a hire car upon your arrival. The city has an abundance of attractions dotted all around, and getting to them is most convenient with a car. Discover the secrets of the Botanical Garden at the very rim of the northwestern edge of the city, or drive down to Lake Jesup and be amazed by the breathtaking scenic views.
  • After landing in the city, reach your accommodation or next destination quickly with your hire car. The airport sports various agencies, including Alamo, Avis, and Hertz. These on-site agencies can be found easily by following the signs from the terminal to each hire desk.
  • Florida is a state with many toll roads, and it is advisable to get the SunPass sticker in advance, where the transponder is linked to your credit card and you can simply pass through the tolls without having to stop at each and every one. Most hire cars in Sanford already have such a sticker included, so check that before picking up or booking a car.
  • Rush hours can also hit Sanford, especially between 6:30 and 9:30 am and 5-7 pm in the afternoon. During this time, the roads can get clogged up with commuters, and the I-4 in particular should be avoided, so take toll roads instead -- they will be more expensive but less congested, and with a SunPass sticker it is no hassle to go through them.
  • Book your rental car in Sanford at least 7 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in Sanford are around 36% cheaper than other car types, on average

There was a roach infestation in the band that we rented and we had to throw out luggage is buy laundry soap wash all our clothes at the Airbnb we say that and also had to buy roach spray it was ridiculous and we spent tons of hours going through our luggage is trying to get rid of the roaches we had a 15 passenger van so there was tons of luggage is that we had to go through we spent hours outside of the budget location in the parking lot have fun literally going through each P article of clothing and transfer It’s into garbage bags

May 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

Literally nothing. As soon as I landed (at midnight) I had a message from Budget saying that they didn’t have a car for me and there was nothing they could do. I had to sleep in the airport because it was too late and too expensive to try and get another car. Worst experience I’ve ever had with a car rental, and I’ve had some pretty bad ones.

Cons:

Everything, literally anything and everything would’ve been better. I’m never using your service again, and will strongly discourage anyone I ever meet from using your service either because of this.

Cons:

The worst rental experience ever. No vehicle at location available despite reservation. No attempt at assistance with alternative other than walk down the counter and ask other vendor which were Asking$ 1000 a day. Why join their loyalty program if this is their corporate culture of customer service.

I needed to change my reservation to a different day, but when I called the Hertz reservation desk at Sanford, she told me that I needed to call the 3rd party who I booked it with, which was Kayak, but your website says I need to make any changes with the car rental company. I would of been willing to pay extra money to make the change! But, instead I had to eat the $160 I paid you and book another car with a different rental company. Needless to say, I will never use Kayak ever again!

May 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Car was new and clean. The local AVIS reprepsentative at 340 FL-16 St Augustine, FL 32084 gets a major kudos on this one - see below for what he helped us avoid.

Cons:

We had to change the driver on our reservation at the last minute bc my sister-in-law suffered an eye injury at work and wasn't able to see to drive (she's a nurse). Instead of allowing us to change the driver on our original reservation, they made us cancel it - with penalty - and make an entirely new reservation for double the original cost. Very very disappointing, especially treating a front line worker like that during the time of COVID! Then, at the end of the reservation, we needed to return the car to a different location than where we picked it up due to a change in our flight. The local AVIS reprepsentative at 340 FL-16 St Augustine, FL 32084 gets a major kudos on this one. I called his location which was only 4 miles from where we were staying and he said he could accept our return. I called back because I forgot to ask him if there was any fee for returning to a different location than the pick-up location, but he was busy so I got AVIS national. They told me I could return the car there for the low low price of a little over $700!!! WTF .... unbelievable. And the representative tried to convince me that paying over $1000 for a 4-day car rental was somehow a "good deal." Absolutely ridiculous. I called the local rep back and he told me he would waive that fee. Thankfully, he was true to his word and we were only charged the original fee we were quoted. However, still double our original reservation. So I have to say AVIS, I don't see renting from you again in the future.

Pros:

I asked for a rental out of Orlando, FL Airport. When I arrived I found out that the car was in Sanford, FL 45 minutes away with no shuttle as promised. I could not get to Sanford to pick up the car and they would not honor the reservation in Orlando's Dollar Rental. It cost me $75 to pay a taxi to get me to my hotel and I never got my rental. Had to pay for a taxi the whole time I was in Florida.

Cons:

Could have provided a car at the right airport.

Never would have paid that but her rambling about the email and what we still owed made the situation intolerable. I will not use them again.

Cons:

I drove down to Enterprise the week before when i made the reservation with KAYAK to confirm they had me in the system.....and they did. When i went to pickup the van Enterprise said they cancelled the order......WHAT!!!!! Representative said they tried to reach me by phone the day before and did not get me to confirm rental........WHAT! I showed him the VMS i recieved and that I called right back and did not get a sole to answer the phone. I told the Rep that most other companies use TEXT to verify / confirm transactions. Glad I saved the VMS & Phone call times. My guess is that they rented my van to another unhappy customer? Manager came out and resolved the issue and had a van delivered from the airport to their site......I had to come back later to pickup the van. Never had much luck with Enterprise and probably will avoid using them again.......always seem shady in their dealings with me.

KAYAK

Pros:

picking up the car was excellent. Everyone most helpful. Car was everything I expected and fun to drive. Dropping off car in lot, I did not appreciate being harassed by the return agent while I was trying to get my 3 pieces of luggage organized, and loose items stowed away, like my GPS. I only asked for 5 minutes, but agent would not leave me alone. However: All in all the best experience I had renting a car at Sanford in a long time.

Cons:

Keys were a wad in my pocket for the entire week. Had to stuff them in a pants pocket wherever I went. How about some thoughtfulness when giving out 4 separate items on a braided steel cord that will not compress flat. Perhaps, give customer the option to "cut the cord" at the counter. Particularly for people dropping off at the pickup point.
