Frequently asked questions

What's the cheapest car rental company in St. Augustine?
It changes weekly. Enterprise, Alamo, and Budget are usually the most aggressive on economy rates in St. Augustine, but Sixt and consolidators can win on luxury and SUV classes.
Is it cheaper to rent a car at JAX or downtown?
Off-airport pickup is typically 15–30% cheaper, but you'll spend on a rideshare or shuttle to get there. We can price both options on the phone.

Do I need to buy the rental company's insurance?
Not usually — most US credit cards include collision damage waiver as a perk, and personal auto insurance may extend to rentals. Confirm with your card and insurer before declining the rental company's CDW.
What is the minimum age to rent a car in St. Augustine?
21 at most agencies in St. Augustine, with a young-driver surcharge of $20–$30/day until age 25. A few brands rent to 18+ in select states.

Can I drop the car off in a different city?
Yes, but expect a one-way drop fee of $50–$300 depending on distance and destination. Within a single region you can sometimes get it waived.
Should I prepay for fuel?
Almost never. Prepaid-fuel rates assume you return the car empty, which is hard to time. Refilling at the closest gas station is usually $10–$25 cheaper.
