Punta Gorda, Florida, might have a funny-sounding name, but tourism is serious business in this city on the west coast of the Sunshine State. With a history that dates back well over 100 years, Punta Gorda, which means “fat tip” or “fat point” in Spanish, has long been a great vacation spot and important shipping port. Like so many other cities in Florida, it is also rich in history. Most of the city burnt down after a major fire in the early 1900s, but many of the buildings that went up as the city rebuilt are still standing, like the Punta Gorda Ice Plant and historic Clarence L. Babcock House. If you are looking for the lowest Punta Gorda car rental rates, you can find them at RentACarNow.com.
