Tips for renting a car in Jacksonville

  • While driving around Jacksonville is relatively hassle-free, whenever possible, avoid driving during rush hours. The city experiences two rush hour times, the first between 7 am and 8:30 am and the other one in the evening between 4:30 pm and 6:30 pm.
  • Be extra keen when driving through the intersections of the city, particularly Youngerman Circle and Blanding Boulevard. These intersections bustle with lots of traffic from morning till late in the night as it is rounded by lots of service stations, restaurants, banks, and other businesses. With lots of cars using the intersections throughout, they rank as some of the most dangerous driving intersections in Jacksonville.
  • Car rental agencies at Jacksonville Airport (JAX) offer you the freedom to move into the city at your convenience right from the airport. You'll find several rental agencies with desks near the Baggage Claim Area on the Lower Level. They also offer pick-up services from JAX to their off-airport locations.
  • Renting a car in Jacksonville gifts you the power to move at your own convenience without relying on the city’s rigid public transportation network. With car rentals, you get to explore Jacksonville on your own terms.
