Jeep Destin FAQs

  • Are there any security deposits?

    Yes.


    When renting a car, Jeep, or van you will be subject to a $750 Security Deposit hold at the time of vehicle pickup. 



    Any damage that might occur will either be taken from the security deposit or applied against the credit/debit card on file. 



    Any damage above $750 will be billed against the debit/credit card up to the deductible amount of your auto insurance and anything additional will be placed against your auto insurance policy.

  • DOES THE FLORIDA MAN ACTUALLY WORK FOR YOU? IF NOT, WHERE CAN WE SPOT HIM?

    No, he never worked at Jeep Destin but rumor has it he did work for some of our competitors. He can be spotted around Destin, Fort Walton Beach, and Miramar.


    Common sightings involve alligators, poor judgment, and Wal-Mart parking lots. Destin is not his usual habitat, but if you hang around long enough your odds of seeing him definitely increase.


    Pro Tip: check county mugshot releases for where he was last seen the night before. (Just don’t offer him a ride. At least, not in one of our Jeeps.)
