Top tips for renting a car in Palm Bay


Buckle up for a smooth ride! Renting a car, like a sleek convertible or zippy EV, can help you take advantage of all the fun and scenery Palm Bay offers.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Palm Bay?


Driving in Palm Bay is smooth with standard speed limits of 30 mph in municipal areas and 20 mph in school zones. While it's relaxing to drive around the city proper, Palm Bay is connected to main thoroughfares, which can experience heavier traffic, especially during rush hour.


All drivers in Palm Bay have to abide by Florida state traffic laws, which include yielding right-of-way to pedestrians and moving over a lane when possible if you approach an ambulance or service vehicle on the side of the road with flashing lights.


In Florida, it's also generally permitted to make a right turn on a red light after coming to a stop, unless a sign says otherwise. If you're new to the area, be sure to read up on Florida traffic rules. Put safety first, so you can enjoy your ride care-free.


What is parking like in Palm Bay?


Parking in public areas is typically easy to access, and you'll have to follow local ordinances when parking in a residential area. For example, many neighborhoods restrict parking to certain areas and ban vehicles from parking in a rear yard without an opaque gate.


Are there toll roads in Palm Bay?


Good news: Palm Bay doesn't have any toll roads. You'll only encounter them if you drive to other cities, like Orlando, where you'll find The BeachLine Expressway (SR 528). If you're already dreading the metal clink of loose change slipping between seats, don't worry. You can sign up for SunPass, which works across the entire Florida toll system.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Palm Bay?


Palm Bay offers drivers both traditional gas stations and electric vehicle chargers, so you'll be able to keep the good times rolling without planning too far in advance. Palm Bay City Hall has a public Level 2 EV charger (ChargePoint), plus plenty at private retailers and hotels. You'll find the most gas stations on main streets like Malabar Road and Jupiter Boulevard.


Do I need to rent a car in Palm Bay?


Renting a car in Palm Bay is necessary if you want to experience the full area and all the nearby attractions. It's located along Florida's eastern coast, which means it's well-equipped for vehicles. Scenic rides aside, a car rental in Palm Bay also gives you easy access to exploring the Space Coast, Orlando and more.

Turo accepts valid licenses (not expired, suspended, or revoked) that allow for full driving privileges; this includes driver’s licenses issued outside of the US.

How does car rental insurance work on Turo?

When booking a car in the US, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that’s right for you. On each trip, you’re covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.*

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Palm Bay?

Families can choose from tried-and-true models with top-rated safety features. If you're on vacation, consider renting a luxury car for a special night out, then swapping to something more spacious for your road trips.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
