The Truth About Getting Around Town
If you think you have to drop a fortune just to get a reliable set of wheels for your stay in Southwest Florida, you are being lied to. Most visitors arriving at Punta Gorda Airport (PGD) default to the big-name counters, paying $65 per day—that is $455 a week for a basic ride. You deserve better than corporate price-gouging when you could be spending that extra $255 at Fishermen's Village instead.
The Local Secret
As a local who knows the ins and outs of Downtown Punta Gorda and the quiet streets of Burnt Store Isles, I have seen too many tourists get trapped by hidden fees. We do things differently here. At Hooptie Rentals, we offer a flat rate of $200 per week. That is a massive saving of over $255 every single week compared to those massive national chains like Enterprise, Hertz, or Sixt. Whether you need a simple economy car for a grocery run or a V8 towing vehicle to get your boat to the water, we have the ride you need.
Why We Are the Community Choice
We skip the nonsense. There is no credit check, just a $50 deposit and a 2-week minimum to keep things simple for our residents and extended visitors. You will see us cruising down US-41 or navigating the I-75 traffic without the stress of astronomical daily rental bills. Forget the airport markup—this is about real, local value that keeps your wallet full for what really matters, like grabbing a bite by the water or catching the sunset over Charlotte Harbor.
Can I rent a car if I have bad credit?
Yes, we do not perform credit checks. We believe in providing affordable transportation to the community, so we focus on a simple $50 deposit to get you on the road.
Do you offer vehicles for towing?
We certainly do. Alongside our fuel-efficient economy cars, we maintain a fleet of powerful V8 vehicles perfect for towing needs in the SW Florida area.
