Tips for renting a car in Florida

Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Florida including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on 27 April 2024.
  • When you rent a car in Florida, be prepared to pay for your rental with a valid credit card, as this is required by the state. While some states will allow you to use alternative payment methods, including debit cards, cash, or checks, Florida is not one of them. Most rental companies accept major credit cards, like Visa and Mastercard, but some may not accept other credit cards with higher fees on their ends, like American Express. Make sure to check with the company that you will be renting with to see what payment methods you can use.
  • Families with small children should note that the state has a very strict policy on car seats. All children under the age of five are required to be in a proper car seat that has been federally approved whenever they are in a vehicle. If you are not able to travel with your own car seat, you can usually add on a car seat rental directly through the rental company you choose. In addition to car seat laws, all children under the age of 18 must always use a seatbelt while in a moving vehicle, both in the front and back seats.
  • Florida is known for being quite hot and humid, which is why so many people flock to the state for trips to the beach – especially to escape the winters of colder regions. Make sure that you rent a car with air conditioning, and remember to check that the air conditioning is functioning properly once you receive your rental. Before you drive off the lot, make sure this works efficiently. This will be a lifesaver, especially if you are visiting the state during the summer months, when the temperature hits an all-time high.

Car rental FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about car rentals in Florida, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 27 April 2024.
  • Should I rent a car in Florida?

    Florida is a large and sprawling state, meaning it is difficult to travel around it without a car. While some cities do have a bit of public transportation, including Miami and Orlando, there are others that have almost no public transportation at all, such as Daytona Beach. There are limited options for moving between cities, so you will have to drive yourself. If you will be spending your time in Florida relaxing at the beach, you will also want a rental car to easily move your personal belongings, like lounge chairs, coolers, and towels.

  • What is driving like in Florida?

    Driving in Florida is typically easy and straightforward, but there are still a few things that you will want to keep in mind. When you are in large cities, such as Miami, you will usually come across quite a bit of traffic in the city center, particularly during rush hour. The state of Florida is also known to get quite a bit of rain, and downpours can be sudden, so drive cautiously if you are faced with this weather. If the rain is so severe that you feel unsafe, pull over to a safe location and wait for the storm to pass. Roundabouts are also quite common in Florida, so be on the lookout for these and research how to use them if you are unfamiliar.

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

    To rent a car in Florida, all drivers must be at least 21 years old. If you are under the age of 25, you will typically be required to pay a daily young driver’s fee. In addition to being at least 21 years old, you will need to be in possession of a valid driver’s license that is a minimum of one year old. If you plan on driving across the border to Mexico, or you are not from the United States, you will also need to have a valid passport with you from your home country.
