Jacksonville Car Rental FAQs

What is the most popular rental car in Jacksonville?

  • When booking a car rental in Jacksonville, the best will depend on what your needs are. Consider your budget, the size of your group, the amount of driving you plan on doing, and simply what type of vehicle you feel most comfortable in. The intermediate/mid-size car is always a popular choice, due to the fact that it’s fuel efficient, and it’s not too big, and it’s not too small, especially for 2-4 people. If you’re planning on exploring the great outdoors, or you brought your golf clubs, it might be a good idea to look into a midsize or standard size SUV (seats 5), or a minivan that seats 7 if you’re traveling with a group larger than 5.

How will I find the best price for my Jacksonville rental car?

  • To find the best price for your cheap Jacksonville rental car, begin by searching our website as soon as you have finalized your trip plans. You will need to input your arrival/departure dates and the times for both pick up and drop off. Once the search results appear, you can then choose the type and size of rental vehicle you would like and book the best option right away. That guarantees the rate for you as of that day. So if rates increase, you are locked into that rate. But because rates do fluctuate, it’s a good idea to check back periodically on our website to see if there are lower prices, simply by putting in the same dates and time and doing another search. If a lower rate is found, you can make another car rental reservation for Jacksonville and cancel the existing one
