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.

Tips for renting a car in Florida

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.

The original booking took me to a location that was closed and no one was there so I had to spend another $30 on uber to go to the airport to get the hertz there and rebook the car which was also more expensive. Dropoff was a bit confusing as I was in a more remote location and the drop box was hard to find.

At my pick up at the Ft. Lauderdale airport, they did not have my premium SUV available and told me they were upgrading me to a mini van for $20 a day. No one upgrades to a mini van and has to pay for it. Why did I have to get charged $20 a day for a be chile I did not reserve. I should have been compensated for having to take a mini van. I will not rent from budget again. I did not like the experience.

The rental listing was a bait and switch and the counter employees didn’t have a strong grasp of policies or options. They pushed hard for me to upgrade from the managers choice which was apparently electric to a gas car. I was fine with electric but they warned me that it had to be brought they back at 95% charged or I would receive a fee, and that charging would take many hours. Not sure that is actually the case as several things they said were inconsistent. In the end, I was pressured into the upsell, which is never a good feeling. High pressure sales stink.

Collection at the airport was terrible. There was a long line and it took us over 45 minutes to collect our car. There were only 4 people working on the desks and it took at least 15 minutes per customer for no obvious reason at all - lots of standing around waiting while they called down for the car. Not what you want after a long flight. Enterprise stand in contrast had no wait! The car itself was great - nearly new, great condition and a hybrid so very economical. Return drop off was simple

After booking the car online with Avis, the agency refused the rental because I had a debit card with a credit score "too low" for them (while I'm a foreigner), they didn't help me find a solution.

We booked a car rental in May, and confirmed a few days before our arrival on July 23. The morning we arrived in Miami Avis told us they had no car for us. They also said they tried to call me which was a lie, and when I asked to speak with a manager, he was not available. He never called back and there was no answer at the line when I called back. We were eventually able to rent a car through a different Avis location but it was a large pick up truck, which affected our plans for travel, and we were then CHARGED for not picking up the original car, which was not available. The final person who assisted us at the Miami airport was great, but I until that point I was appalled at the outcome and lack of any help in identifying another vehicle.

I did not end up renting a car from Payless. My initial reservation was incorrectly recorded by the Kayak web page and I called and cancelled my reservation and did not go through Kayak. Additionally, it seemed like Payless was the only car company that Kayak offered in florida during the time period I was looking. I thought that was strange. I ended up going through Costco to reserve a car with Budget. It was about the same cost as Kayak/Payless but the web interface and customer service experience was better and simpler. Kayak just feels like an extra layer of headache added to an already tedious and complicated process.
