An Intermediate car like a Volkswagen Jetta at Charlotte County Airport costs around £56 a day in October 2026 and fits 5 people hopping between coastal towns. It seats 5 with room for 4 bags, making parking easy along busy seafronts. Stepping down to a Compact car like a Nissan Versa saves money at £54 a day, but taking 3 bags means any extra luggage ends up on laps. Automatic cars make up 100% of what is offered, so you will receive one without paying extra, while electric and hybrid models are not available.
