Tips for renting a car in Jacksonville

Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Jacksonville including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on March 19, 2024.
  • 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.
  • The city of Jacksonville has seen an expansion in the number of public EV charging stations. These charging stations are located in various public areas, commercial centers, shopping malls, and hotels. Jacksonville is part of various EV charging networks that allow users to access multiple charging stations through a single account or membership. Networks like EVgo, ChargePoint, and Electrify America have a presence in the city. This means that renting an eco-friendly vehicle in Jacksonville is not only possible but also quite convenient.
  • Jacksonville, Florida, has a few toll roads that can be used for convenient transportation. The Florida State Road 9B (I-295 Express Lanes) is a tolled expressway that provides a direct connection between Interstate 95 (I-95) and Interstate 295 (I-295), allowing for smoother and faster travel between these major highways. Florida State Road 23 (First Coast Expressway) is an ongoing toll road project that aims to create a new outer beltway around Jacksonville, improving regional connectivity. Florida State Road 9A (I-295 East Beltway) has a tolled express lane section on the southern portion of the beltway near the Buckman Bridge, known as the "Overland Bridge."
  • The best route from Jacksonville Airport to downtown Jacksonville typically depends on traffic conditions and personal preferences, but a recommended route is to take the Airport Road out of the airport and then merge onto I-95 South, continuing for approximately 13 miles, before taking Exit 352B for Union Street/Downtown. Using a GPS provided by your rental company can provide real-time traffic updates and suggest alternate routes if necessary.

  • What type of car rental is recommended for driving in Jacksonville?

    If you’re looking for a car rental that would best suit your needs while in Jacksonville, we got you covered. The type of car you should go for will vary depending on the number of passengers you plan to ferry, the destinations you will visit, and the purpose of your trip to the city. If your travel will be based within the city, a compact car like Nissan Tiida is a good pick. Being small, the car will help you get through narrow streets without a hustle. For off-road activities, take a Jeep Wrangler, Toyota Fortuner, Land Rover Defender, or Ford Bronco. Are you planning a trip to Jacksonville as a family? Chevrolet Traverse, Ford Explorer, Subaru Ascent, or Kia Telluride are ideal options as they can comfortably carry up to 7 people.

  • What are the driving rules in Jacksonville?

    While there are some basic and common driving rules you might already be aware of, we outline some of the unique rules you will have to master before getting behind the wheels of any Jacksonville rental car. While it is legal to talk on your while driving, we do not recommend it. You will incur penalties if you’re involved in an accident while talking on your phone. However, texting while driving in Jacksonville is illegal. The Move Over Driving Law is another unique rule. It requires drivers in the city to take their cars to the furthest lane when police cars are parked along multi-lane roads or interstates. This also applies to tow trucks, utility vehicles, and other emergency vehicles. Lastly, note that you will get a ticket when you drive at very slow speeds such that you disrupt the normal traffic flow.

  • What are the requirements for getting car rentals in Jacksonville?

    Before getting out to rent a car in Jacksonville, here are some of the requirements that car rental agencies in the city will need. First, to get a rental car in the city, you must be at least 25 years old. If you’re under this age, you may be charged a young driver’s fee, and this varies depending on your car rental agency.  All renters will also ask for a valid driver’s license with a photo while others may also ask for a passport. Most agencies accept credit cards like VISA, MasterCard, or American Express at non-airport and airport locations in Jacksonville while the accepted debit cards vary from one agency to the other. Foreign drivers can use their International driver’s license at any car rental agency in the city.

  • Will I be able to drive my rental car to the Florida Keys?

    Yes, you can typically drive a rental vehicle from mainland Florida and cities like Jacksonville to the Florida Keys. However, it's important to review the specific terms and conditions of your rental agreement and consult with the rental car company to ensure that driving to the Florida Keys is allowed. Some rental car companies may have restrictions on driving their vehicles to certain destinations, including specific regions or off-road areas. Additionally, there may be mileage limitations or additional fees for taking the rental car out of the state or beyond a certain distance. To avoid any issues, it's recommended to inform the rental car company of your intention to drive to the Florida Keys at the time of booking or before picking up the vehicle.

  • What are some good day trips from Jacksonville in my rental car?

    Just a short drive south of Jacksonville, St. Augustine is the oldest city in the United States, known for its rich history and charming architecture. When you visit here, you can explore historic sites like the Castillo de San Marcos, stroll along St. George Street, and visit the beautiful beaches. Located northeast of Jacksonville, Amelia Island offers pristine beaches, charming downtown Fernandina Beach, and a variety of outdoor activities. Relax on the beaches, explore the shops and restaurants in the historic district, or enjoy outdoor recreational opportunities like kayaking or hiking. Drive west to the Okefenokee Swamp, one of the largest intact freshwater ecosystems in the world. Take a guided boat tour, go hiking on the trails, and spot unique wildlife, such as alligators and various bird species.

  • What should I know about car seat laws when renting a car in Jacksonville?

    In Florida, children aged 5 and under are to be properly secured in an approved child restraint device. Children up to the age of three must be in a rear-facing seat, and then between 4 and 5, they can transition to a forward-facing seat, and if they are big enough, they can travel in a booster seat. No matter your child's age, the best guidance is to place them in a seat that fits them well based on their height and weight.  It is crucial to prioritize the safety of children by ensuring they remain in the rear seats until at least the age of 12. Deployed front seat airbags can pose a significant risk to children, and therefore, they should be kept away from them for their safety.
