Booking a Jacksonville car rental with us is easy, and you will enjoy several advantages if you book with us today. Here are just a few of them:
Visit the city via Jacksonville International Airport
Jacksonville International Airport is the region's major travel destination, with nonstop flights to and from dozens of major cities. Over five million passengers pass through the airport each year. Car rental agencies are located on the terminal building's lower level, next to the baggage claim area. Companies at the airport include Dollar Rent-A-Car, Thrifty, and five more. No shuttles are necessary for off-site rental car lots, as a short walk across the street gets you into one of the hundreds of vehicles just a few hundred feet from the reservation counters.
Once you're in your Jacksonville car rental, the airport's convenient location allows you to drive just a few minutes to the downtown business area, or to the plentiful sun-drenched beaches. Sight-seers can take a half hour drive north and buy some delicious peanuts or a pecan pie in the state of Georgia. Or for the true road trip enthusiast, a day-long adventure might even involve a drive in your rental car to exciting Miami, about five hours south of Jacksonville.
If you're staying put in the city, then the Jacksonville Beaches communities are to the east, alongside the Atlantic Ocean. Like most of Florida, there are plenty of recreational tourism activities. One unusual activity is disc golf, a sport where you throw a Frisbee (or generic flying disc) at a target. Drive your rental car to Sandridge Road in suburban Green Cove Springs. There you can visit The Ronnie Van Zant Memorial Park, named for the Lynyrd Skynyrd frontman who died tragically in a 1977 plane crash. The park features a 27-hole disc golf course, tennis courts and several fishing ponds.
There's plenty you can do in Jacksonville thanks to booking your cheap car rental! Perhaps you're an animal lover ... well, just hop in your rental vehicle and drive over to the Catty Shack Ranch. This gorgeous, non-profit wildlife sanctuary may have a funny name, but it's rated a top attraction in Jacksonville. What are you waiting for? See the big cats!
Or perhaps exhibitions of art are more your style? Drive your affordable Jacksonville car rental over to the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens. Last but not least, you can always check out the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra when they're having a concert performance!
