Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Gainesville car reservation?
We understand that flexibility is important. That's why many rentals give a complete refund if you notify us six hours in advance of the pickup time. It's a good idea to read over your rental policy though as there are some exclusions. If the info isn't there, click on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Gainesville?
Not too small yet not too big, compact vehicles are the first choice for many travellers to Gainesville. Featuring excellent gas mileage and easy handling and parking, they're well-suited to exploring the city. A compact has slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can travel around in a little extra comfort. Want something bigger? Browse our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Gainesville?
Drivers have to be at least 21. But there are a handful of age-related restrictions you should keep in mind before you book your Gainesville wheels. If you're a younger driver, rental providers will likely charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of cars you can rent. The amount of the surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between providers. Take the time to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Gainesville?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your selected company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.

Where can I find a Gainesville car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Gainesville rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It's best to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
