Top tips for renting a car in North Florida

  • Picking up a rental car at Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) makes it easier and more convenient to connect from the airport to various parts of North Florida. Upon arrival, proceed to the rental car center located on the lower level of the airport. Take the designated shuttle bus from outside the baggage claim area to reach the rental car center efficiently. There, you'll find a range of car rental companies to choose from, offering various vehicle options to suit your needs and preferences.
  • For North Florida's varied terrain and mostly well-maintained roads, a comfortable and versatile car like a compact SUV or a midsize sedan would be recommended. These vehicles offer good handling on highways and city streets, while providing ample space for passengers and luggage. Additionally, their higher ground clearance can handle occasional rougher roads or beach trips, ensuring a pleasant and enjoyable driving experience throughout the region.
  • If you will be using North Florida car rentals accompanied by your kids, remember that Florida's car seat laws require children under the age of five to always travel in appropriate child restraints. Children aged three and under must be placed in separate infant seats or a convertible car seats in the rear-facing position. Children ages four and five should use forward-facing child safety seats. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and comply with state laws to ensure the safety of young passengers.
  • Driving in North Florida can present challenges, including heavy traffic during rush hours. In urban areas like Jacksonville and Tallahassee, rush hours typically occur from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. on weekdays. Interstate 10 and Interstate 95, along with major city routes, experience high congestion during these times. Additionally, during hurricane season (June to November), tropical storms can cause road closures and hazardous driving conditions.

  • What is driving like in North Florida?

    Driving in North Florida generally reflects a laid-back and courteous style, similar to much of the Southeastern United States. However, in urban areas like Jacksonville or Tallahassee, drivers may experience slightly faster-paced traffic, but road rage is rare. The region's highways, especially I-95 and I-10, are well-maintained and offer smooth driving experiences. Keep in mind that Florida often has high speed limits on highways, with some sections allowing up to 70-75 mph. Toll roads are commonly used, so carrying change or a SunPass (an electronic tolling system) is advantageous. Drivers must also watch for wildlife crossings in rural areas. Lastly, like the rest of the United States, driving in North Florida is on the right-hand side of the road.

  • How old do I have to be to rent a car in North Florida?

    In North Florida, the minimum age to rent a car is 21 years old. Some rental companies may require drivers to be 25 or older to avoid additional surcharges. Drivers must possess valid driver's licenses and major credit cards in their names. International drivers will be required to have International Driving Permits (IDPs) in addition to their home countries’ licenses.
