Economy, premium, full-size ... The choice is yours! However, compact models are the top pick in Gainesville.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Gainesville?
Drivers aged 21 and above can get on the road in Gainesville in a rental car. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge applies.

Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Gainesville?
Two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Check with your supplier to avoid any problems.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Gainesville?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and book a ride to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Gainesville car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little research. Found a Gainesville outlet that does rent to under 25s? That's great! Just take note that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering will have all the details you need.
