Top tips for renting a car in Amelia Island

  • On Amelia Island, children should be in child restraint devices, while all front passengers and children below eighteen should be in seatbelts. Kids should ride in the rear row until the age of twelve, and before that, they should be in a federally approved child restraint device. Kids below three need to be in a child safety seat, while those between four and five should be in a booster seat. You can rent both at the rental counter for a small additional fee.
  • Florida is called the Sunshine State for a good reason. It’s hot and humid in Florida, and you can expect the same on Amelia Island. Consequently, you’ll need to rent a car that gives you the comfort and convenience you need in the sweltering weather. A convertible is a genius option and sets the right mood for a great vacation. A cheap economy car rental should also do the trick since air conditioning will keep the heat out.
  • You don’t have to do all the driving yourself while visiting Amelia Island. Car rental agencies will allow you to register more than one additional driver for your rental period. The driver must meet the age and driver’s license requirements, and there’s a daily charge for every additional driver. In most locations, spouses and domestic partners will be registered for free, while in others, you need to be at least twenty five to be registered as an additional driver. Nonetheless, registering an additional driver is a smart move, especially if you’ll be driving a lot.
  • Amelia Island rental agencies accept various modes of payment, including credit and debit cards. Credit cards are the most popular and the most readily accepted. American Express, VISA, Discover Network, and MasterCard are welcome at any rental counter on Amelia Island. Debit card users need to be at least twenty five and be ready to be subjected to a creditworthiness check. Cash is not accepted when booking a rental but will be an option when clearing any balances at the end of your rental period.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Amelia Island for $45 or less
  • Book your rental car in Amelia Island at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Premium rental cars in Amelia Island are around 72% more expensive than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Amelia Island

  • Should I rent a car in Amelia Island?

    If you’re going to check off the “best places to visit on Amelia Island” list, you’ll need your own set of wheels. With the public bus virtually unavailable, your next best hope is that rideshares are fast and frequent, and even then, they don’t match the comfort and convenience of a rental car. It’s nothing to do with the freedom of the open road and is all about making your vacation what you want. Stop and start from wherever you please, while avoiding having to drag your luggage to every beach and restaurant you’ll be visiting. Moreover, there are many rental car options. Similarly, there is no risk in booking through KAYAK, as we work with the best rental agencies on Amelia Island.

  • What is driving like in Amelia Island?

    Before hitting the road in that rental car, there are a few things you need to know. Respect the speed limits. Stick to 30 mph if you’re in residential, commercial, or municipal zones. The maximum speed limit in school zones is 20 mph. Driving on the beach is allowed, and a 4WD should easily do the trick, but keep it below 20 mph. There will be many horse buggies and Segways on the road, so be careful when entering or exiting the road and when passing them.

  • How old do you have to be to rent a car in Amelia Island?

    Most car rental agencies on Amelia Island require you to be at least twenty one to qualify for a rental car. All eligible drivers need to have their driver’s license and a credit card in their name. Note that electronic or photocopies of your driver’s license will not be accepted.
