KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Sebastian

  • Car rentals in Sebastian offer several advantages over relying on public transportation. Unlike public transportation options, which have fixed routes and schedules, a rental car will grant you the freedom to set your own schedule and explore the region at your own pace. With a vehicle from Sebastian car rentals, you'll have access to the region's remote or rural destinations that are inaccessible by public buses or trains. Car rentals in Sebastian also offer greater comfort and privacy, which can be especially important for families or groups traveling together. Some of the accessible attractions in Sebastian include Riverview Park, Sebastian Inlet State Park, and the Sebastian Fishing Museum.
  • Sebastian features four major transportation hubs, including Orlando International Airport (MCO), Palm Beach International Airport (PBI), Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB), and Melbourne International Airport (MLB). Upon arrival at MLB, proceed to the car rental counters situated near baggage claim in the airport's main terminal. Upon arrival at MCO, proceed to level 1 of terminals A and B, where you'll find car rental counters. At PBI, the car rental counters are situated on the first level, adjacent to the baggage claim area. Once you've arrived at SFB, head across the street from baggage claim to the rental car facility. Furthermore, you'll need a valid driver's license to rent a vehicle from car rentals in Sebastian. Generally, the minimum age to rent a car is 21, but some rental providers may impose a young driver surcharge for those under 25.
  • Driving in Sebastian, Florida, features a relatively pleasant and straightforward experience with respect to traffic rules. The city maintains well-marked roads and clear signage, making it easy for drivers to navigate. Speed limits are strictly enforced, especially in residential areas and school zones, ensuring safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Florida law mandates strict adherence to traffic rules, and the police are present physically to enforce these rules in Sebastian. Moreover, drivers in Sebastian generally adhere to the strict traffic rules and regulations while driving.
  • In Sebastian, Florida, rush hour usually occurs during the morning and evening commute times, roughly from around 7 am to 9 am and 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, mirroring the typical workday schedule. During these peak hours, several major roads experience heavy traffic congestion, including U.S. Route 1, Sebastian Boulevard (CR-512), and Fellsmere Road (CR-512). To avoid traffic congestion during rush hour, you should consider using alternative routes such as Roseland Road and Barber Street. Moreover, drivers should be mindful of frequent rain showers and potential storms during certain seasons, like winter, which can affect road conditions and visibility.

    In Sebastian's residential areas and neighborhoods, the speed limit is around 30 mph.

Philip, Jan 2025

Supplier choice

KAYAK
Budget continues to automatically charge $15 on top of every rental for vehicles returned after being driven less than 75 miles. This is supposedly to cover gas refueling however it’s easy to miss this, particularly when you refill the car. This particular rental this was an electric car that doesn’t take gas.

Frank, Jun 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

Nothing about my experience at all.

Cons:

If Enterprise actually had the vehicle or any vehicle that matter for rent. I spent $60 on Ubers to find out after getting to Enterprise...all out of cars...this happened with more than one booking. Plus the cost of all the other UBERS needed because Enterprise is taking reservations for cars they don't have.

Gordon, May 2020

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff did an okay job.

Cons:

I arranged for the car a couple weeks early. I got confirmation as to where and when to pick the vehicle up. A day before, I received best wishes from kayak. Went 20 miles out of my way to pick the vehicle up. It was supposed to be a Cadillac SUV or similar vehicle. When I got to Enterprise it was closed because of the covid-19 problem. A note on the door indicated I shouldn't drive back for 20 miles to a different Enterprise operation. When I got there they didn't know who I was or what vehicle I wanted. They eventually transferred the lease to their business I was able to rent me a vehicle. Instead of the Cadillac SUV I was offered a choice between a Hemi Challenger and a convertible Mustang. Both are nice cars, but neither where what I wanted for the long trip I have planned. After about a two-hour delay, I did get rent the Challenger and went on my trip. All in all it was not a good experience and I will avoid Enterprise in the future.

When I rented the car Alan the manager said the car had a full tank of gas, once I drove off and was 3 miles away I realized the car was only three quarters full. So I returned it full because it was stated that way but it was not.

Cons:

We received an email two days before pick up telling us to pick up at the WRONG location. We were directed to a Ford dealer (4th and US 1 Vero Beach.) They told us that Hertz left 2years ago! We had to drive to Vero Airport...a waste of a valuable hour... before had to drive to Palm Beach airport. Terrible! Hertz desk blamed this on the reseller. Someone is to blame and should fix it!

Pros:

Being in southern Florida where the temps were 82-85 degrees, having a car with a/c would’ve been ideal. I was better off getting a compact for half the cost if I knew it would have a/c
