Car Rentals in Jacksonville, North Carolina

Unless otherwise specified, you are allowed to obtain a rental car in Jacksonville and drive them across state lines to any other part of the country. U.S. citizens and permanent residents will be required to show submit valid identification and driver’s license and be at least 21 years old. Some car rental locations in Jacksonville (Avis, Hertz, Enterprise) apply fees for drivers under age 25, but if you are an active military or USAA member such fees may be waived. Give your provider advanced notice if you intend to enter Canada and get a Canadian Non-Resident Insurance Card (yellow card) which is essential. Driving a rental into Mexico is not as easy since most major companies impose restrictions across the southern border. If you’re traveling on business, set up a corporate account with Avis and obtain some Mexican Automobile Liability Insurance to smooth things out. One-way rental to Mexico is not allowed so you’ll have to return the car to a stateside location.

Virtually all major U.S. car rental agencies provide alternative payment options so you can drive off the lot with a rental car in Jacksonville without having a credit card. For example, debit cards are regularly used to secure rentals, but certain rules apply. The name on the card must match that on the driver’s license, you should be at least 25 years of age and must show proof of car insurance. Additionally, some companies may conduct a credit check and/or insist on an upfront deposit as a security deposit. Specialty vehicles like luxury cars and convertibles are generally exempt, but you should experience few problems with an economy car rental. In the worst-case scenario, cash is also accepted as payment for rental cars. For example, Dollar will permit you to secure a rental with a Cash Deposit Identification Card and a deposit then settle up with cash upon its return.

You should observe the following limits when driving a Jacksonville car rental: 70 mph on freeways and interstate highways, 60 mph on two-lane freeways/highways, and 55mph on all other roads unless otherwise indicated. Reduced limits (about 30 mph) apply to residential areas, near schools, hospitals, and the downtown area. In Jacksonville, the Move Over Law states that on multi-lane roads you must keep the farthest distance when approaching parked police cars, emergency, and other municipal authority vehicles and pass at speeds not greater than 20 mph. There’s also the ‘Slow Poke Law’ where you could be fined for driving too slowly. The state of Florida requires all passengers to wear seatbelts while the car is in motion and child seats are mandatory for kids under the age of five. As always, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal and hands-free devices can be used while driving except near schools and construction zones.

If you’re visiting the state of Florida from a non-U.S. location (other than Canada) you’ll need certain documents to get a car rental in Jacksonville.

For tourists traveling from a country that uses a non-Roman alphabet, it’s a great idea to get a certified, translated copy of your domestic license for use in the United States. When all else fails, owning an International Drivers Permit is the best recommendation for getting cheap rental cars in Jacksonville.
