I need to know if they have rental cars at the Punta Gorda Airport and do they have to be paid up front, cash or credit card or how do they do it? I have never rented a car before. I need to get from airport to Ft. Meade.

Yes, and if you fly Allegiant you can reserve your car at tge same time you buy your ticket online.

Rental cars are available and close by. Payment is upfront. Cost depends on the size vehicle and where the vehicle is returned.

Yes they have car rental at airport. You will need a credit card or debit card

They do have rental cars, you'll need a credit or debit card to rent. There are also car services, taxis, and Uber available to drive you.

Thank you very much for all the replies.
