Top tips for hiring a car at Jacksonville Airport
- Whether you are traveling to Jacksonville for leisure or business, a car rental at Jacksonville Airport (JAX) gives you the freedom to move around at your convenience without the need to rely on the rigid public transportation system. Jacksonville, perfectly nestled along the Atlantic Ocean in Northeast Florida, is a fascinating paradise for those looking for a luxurious yet affordable getaway. When you are visiting the "Bold New City of the South" as Jacksonville is locally known, there is no better way of exploring the city than with a car rental at Jacksonville Airport (JAX). With your rented car, you will enjoy the sights and sounds of Jacksonville at your pace and pleasure. Simply put, a Jacksonville Airport car rental gives you the freedom to explore the city and its surroundings on your terms.
- The car rental companies have their desks next to the airport’s baggage claim area just off the lower level of the terminal building. From here, you will find both multinational as well as local car rental agencies. Better still, these agencies provide a wide range of car rental options, from luxury cars to vans and everything in between. It’s all about your budget and preference. You can book your preferred car online and pick up on arrival after taking care of the necessary paperwork. Once you pick up your Jacksonville rented car, you can take a 20min drive to the Jacksonville city center via the I-95 N.
- Driving around Jacksonville can be tough, especially if you are a first-timer. Things get tough when you are not sure about the rules of the road. When approaching a four-way stop where one or more cars need to stop, the most prudent thing to do is pause at the stop sign, then get into the intersection as soon as you can. The left lane is always designated for drivers over 65. The state of Florida enforced the Move Over Act in 2002. This act requires drivers to change lanes or slow down 20 mph when approaching an emergency vehicle. As you probably know, driving while operating a handheld device is not a good idea and it might earn you a fine in the Sunshine State. So avoid the temptation to talk on the phone or grab that selfie stick while behind the wheel. Finally, driving under the influence is prohibited in Jacksonville. If convicted, you may face a fine or have your license suspended.
- Jacksonville, like any other city, has its share of traffic challenges that you need to know when planning to visit the city. Morning rush hour begins at around 7 am through to 9 am. The afternoon rush starts from around 4.30 pm to 6.30 pm. Things can get worse when it is raining and all eastbound bridges are clogged up due to mishaps. Generally, you may want to set off for your drive to the airport early enough to avoid running into traffic that might cause you to miss your flight.
- Book your car hire at Jacksonville Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
Drop off and pick up was good. The car had 62,000 miles and the car drove like it. Car had acceleration problems and needed a front end alignment.Cons:
These older cars need to be serviced more often to see that they are safe and drive properly.8,0 Very Good
May 2021
Pros:
The JAX staff were wonderful. Our first vehicle had scratches, a bald tire, windshield wiper fluid light was on, and gas tank was not full. They swapped quickly for us.Cons:
I would’ve preferred to have gotten a decent rental at first and not had to swap. Also, the Hertz drop-off location instructions for MCO in phone recording are incorrect. That should be fixed. All rental returns are in Terminal A, regardless of the airline you’re flying. Circled 3 times to find location.2,0 Poor
May 2021
Pros:
Really didn't care for anything about this experience.Cons:
The car had a near-flat tire before I could even get out of the airport parking lot. All valve stem caps were missing and all tires were low. Put air in them after looking for air at 4 gas stations. The front tire remained low or flat the entire weekend - to the point I could not drive the car. Repeated attempts to reach out to the Hertz Roadside Service line (hours and hours on hold) yielded no one to come change or fix the tire. I finally had to leave the car in the hotel parking lot and take a hotel shuttle back to the airport on our last day. This entire experience was a nightmare. I will not rent from Hertz again.10,0 Wonderful

Apr 2021
Cons:
I prepaid for a intermediate SUV. When I arrived at the counter I was told there was a 30 minute wait for cars. Then I was told there are no intermediate SUV's available and I was given a Toyota Camry. When I asked about the price difference, I was hastily told by the agent (who was unapologetic) that she could not help me and that I was to go the the counter at the return center. At the return center, the line was very long and moving quite slowly. The airport shuttle arrived and I had to get out of line and was never able to have my rental charges adjusted. I was legally contracted for and paid for a larger and more expensive rental. I am entitled to a partial refund.Budget

I was told I am sorry and there is nothing I could do the day of my trip. I reserved the vehicle in February and was disappointed and embarrassed in July. Never again.10,0 Wonderful

The price changed on me when i got to my destination. The bill at the destination was about 15% more than they told me it would be, and the representative was unable to explain why. Also the dropoff was very confusing—it was in a mall parking lot, difficult me to figure out what to do where to go.2,0 Poor

Pros:
No information or help for directions at the airport. Went to pick-up. Signs only says returns and baggage.Cons:
Let people know where to pick-up and park until you get the rental. And have someone in the booth that can tell you. Only Spanish speaking parking attendants that had no idea but to leave car in garage without a parking spot. And had to pay to exit the parking garage. Then they interpreted by phone10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
There was nothing to likeCons:
They charge you an extra $350.00 to rent the car and also limit you to only a 150 per day. Even though it was reserved at one price and unlimited miles. They change your reservation and now you are stuck unless you decide to leave. They also take the spare tire out their cars so you would take their insurance. Avoid at all cost. Pay the extra money so you can get better service.4,8 Mediocre

Mar 2017
Cons:
If you are a local renter,go someplace else and rent. These people say unlimited miles, unless you live in the state,then you are only allowed 150 free miles per day. They also want a $350.00 deposit. I guess they want to insure that they already have your money if you go over 150 miles per day. The rate per mile they charge after 150 miles is $0.55 . That could add up to some serious dollar amounts really quickly.9,6 Wonderful

Pros:
E-Z does not accept credit debit card and had to switch to a different car rental at the last minute which made renting a car more expensive.4,8 Mediocre
Jan 2017
Cons:
The online reservation clearly stated unlimited miles. But when I'm standing at the reservation desk after I'm already at the point of no return I'm informed I am limited to a total of 300 miles, with each mile afterwards at $0.55 per mile. The whole purpose of the rental was for a trip that far exceeded the allowable mileage bringing my total out of pocket expense nearly four times the advertised rental rate. Even after I showed the manager my reservation and what was advertised he informed me it was a private company and that's their policy and if I didn't like It go somewhere else. Unfortunately I was stuck with no ride and no time to spare. I will not be using this service ever again.Airport Van
