10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Jacksonville Beach

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to find the perfect vehicle for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance often allows you to lock in lower rates and ensures better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the best option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but the added convenience could make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should anything unexpected occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is essential for renting a car.

Can I drive in Jacksonville Beach with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car hire company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
