Question 6

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

Accepted Answer

Rental car rules in Florida require drivers to be at least 18. Are you a young driver? Surcharges and restrictions may apply. Rental outlets impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions usually apply to the classes of cars available to young people as well. Age limits may differ between suppliers, so check before you book.

Question 7

What do you need to rent a car in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Check with your rental agency to avoid any issues.

Question 8

What side of the road do you drive on in Florida?

Accepted Answer

If you're renting a vehicle in Florida or planning a road trip in greater South Africa, you'll be driving on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra caution.

Question 9

What is the cheapest car rental in Florida?

Accepted Answer

According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a cheap car rental in Florida was just $38. The next best deal was $44 per day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Question 10

Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your vacation. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and secure a set of wheels that's all yours for the duration of your getaway.

Question 11

Where can I find a Florida car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the rental car companies that operate in Florida. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.

Question 12

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Start your road trip the right way by selecting Expedia's collision protection. While there are all sorts of insurance, this is one you'll need to have. It provides primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency assistance. Don't wait until you arrive at the rental desk to insure your wheels. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Florida ride with Expedia and save time and money.

Question 13

Can I drive in Florida with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in South Africa, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
