9 tips to save on your Airport car rental near Jacksonville

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting the vehicle type and desired features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for extra luggage, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect fit for your journey.
  • Book in advance for some of the best rates: To secure lower rates and a wider selection, it’s advisable to book your IJX car rental as early as possible. Ideally, make your reservation 1-3 months in advance, especially during peak travel seasons.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and some vehicle categories—like SUVs or luxury models—might have restricted availability. Renters over 70 years may also face similar limitations. Always verify the age requirements before finalizing your booking.
  • Consider a budget-friendly car for savings: Compact or economy cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is usually the most economical. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which can also be acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car empty in those cases.
  • Know your payment options: Most rental agencies require a credit card in the driver's name for security deposits, as debit cards are not always accepted.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Rental car insurance can help you prevent unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. Adding car rental insurance when booking through Expedia is straightforward.
  • Check for unlimited mileage: If you plan to spend a significant amount of time driving, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid extra charges on longer journeys.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory to rent a car.
