Amelia Island car hire

If you’re going to check off the “best places to visit on Amelia Island” list, you’ll need your own set of wheels. With the public bus virtually unavailable, your next best hope is that rideshares are fast and frequent, and even then, they don’t match the comfort and convenience of a rental car. It’s nothing to do with the freedom of the open road and is all about making your vacation what you want. Stop and start from wherever you please, while avoiding having to drag your luggage to every beach and restaurant you’ll be visiting. Moreover, there are many rental car options. Similarly, there is no risk in booking through KAYAK, as we work with the best rental agencies on Amelia Island.

Before hitting the road in that rental car, there are a few things you need to know. Respect the speed limits. Stick to 30 mph if you’re in residential, commercial, or municipal zones. The maximum speed limit in school zones is 20 mph. Driving on the beach is allowed, and a 4WD should easily do the trick, but keep it below 20 mph. There will be many horse buggies and Segways on the road, so be careful when entering or exiting the road and when passing them.

Most car rental agencies on Amelia Island require you to be at least twenty one to qualify for a rental car. All eligible drivers need to have their driver’s license and a credit card in their name. Note that electronic or photocopies of your driver’s license will not be accepted. Also, there is an additional daily charge for young drivers between twenty one and twenty four, while young renters have restrictions when it comes to vehicle class, such as premium and full-size SUVs, exotic and luxury rentals, and commercial and passenger vans.

Economy (Class Economy Car or similar) is the most frequently booked car hire type in Amelia Island.
