While vacationing in Florida, my parents became ill and must fly home.
My husband will fly to West Palm beach to pick up their car late on a Friday night and drive out early Saturday morning.
He doesn't need a car right at the airport, but does not want to drive very far that night since it will be after 11:00.
He will need to take 95N to begin the journey home.
Can anyone help with a hotel within five or ten miles of the airport?
Thanks.

Sher

Sorry. Meant to day he doesn't need a room right at the airport, not a car!

Tell him to get in the car and drive north of Palm Beach to around Stuart. That way he will be out of the horrible I95 congestion Saturday morning.

Thank you for the tip about the traffic. I will start looking at hotels a little north of Stuart.
The airport hotels are just a little more then we would like and it isn't necessary that he be exactly there.

If he doesn't want to drive far from the airport-don't go to Stuart. Look at Hampton Inn website-always good hotels.

Wouldn't it be cheaper and less stress to get a car carrier service to pick up the car and bring it home?

I agree with MaryAnn. Stuart is not close to the PBI airport. I also agree that a Hampton Inn would be a good choice. I know its rather late but there is one in Palm Beach Gardens
4001 RCA Boulevard Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, US, 33410 1-561-625-8880 about 15-20 minutes from the airport.

If you speak to your before he heads home, the Florida Turnpike is a much better choice than I-95. The turnpike parallels 95 and is well worth the tolls.

Depending on ultimate destination the cost of putting the car on a transport is a good idea. The cost from the Palm Beach area to Detroit is around $500.00. When you figure the cost of an airline ticket, lodging, gas, and food for the ride home, it about evens out and save the wear and tear on the car not to speak of one's nerves.
