Rental Qualifications and RequirementsFort Lauderdale Airport is blessed with great transport links, so wherever your ultimate destination is, you can get there with relative ease.
First things first – don’t forget to drive on the right-hand side of the road, that’s the major difference from driving in the UK. Another is that you can make right turns at intersections on red lights, as long as the way through is clear and there’s no sign saying you can’t.
For Fort Lauderdale itself, you can get straight on to US Route 1 at the airport – drive around five miles north and you’re there. If your plans are going to take you elsewhere in Florida, you’re right next to a couple of convenient interstates.
I-95, the Florida Turnpike, takes you both north and south – north to Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and to Jacksonville and beyond. Head south on it and you’ll soon be in Miami – just bear in mind that it’s a toll road.
Alternatively, if you’re heading inland, take the I-595 west, then join the I-75. It passes through some lovely wildlife and nature reserves on its way to the Gulf Coast.
Two of the most spectacular drives are close to the airport too. Route 1 runs along the coast in both directions – stay on it heading south and it’ll lead you to the gorgeous Florida Keys. Route A1A is even closer to the sea and passes across many stretches of water and barrier islands.
Speed limits vary by road type and area, so follow the signs – the top speed in the state is 70mph on rural stretches of interstate.
The Atlantic coast of Florida is a sandy playground of sun-kissed beaches, water sports and pretty towns packed with plenty to see and do. Use your Fort Lauderdale hire car to see the very best of the town itself or make for Miami with its 24-hour nightlife and vibrant art scene.
There are resorts wherever you drive, while the natural beauty of Florida’s southern interior begs to be discovered.
Fort Lauderdale is one of the most sophisticated yet friendly resorts on the coast, with miles and miles of beaches for all, a lovely boardwalk and a sprinkling of culture downtown.
Lined with gently swaying palm trees, the beach is the focal point of the area. Mega-yachts and cruise ships depart from here daily, so wave them off or take to a boat yourself for deep-sea fishing or a white-water cruise.
Downtown Fort Lauderdale is welcoming too, especially around Las Olas and the Riverfront area. Museums, restaurants, souvenir stores and more line the streets, while the waterways will give you a clue as to why some people call this the Venice of Florida.
It’s only a 30 mile drive or so from Fort Lauderdale Airport to the heart of Miami, meaning you can be in Florida’s most vibrant city in no time at all. There are more beaches here, of course, both Miami and South Beach have soft white sand and plenty going on, but the city boasts far more than just that.
Coast through the city to admire the peerless art deco architecture that survives here – some of the best building are hotels you can stay in to soak up the splendour – and take a tour of the art galleries. Wynwood Walls is the place for street art and lavish graffiti, while key pieces of public sculpture include Buckminster Fuller’s Eye Dome, Rondinone’s Miami Mountain and Noguchi’s playful Slide Mountain.
In other words, you can get a fix of art without having to step out of that golden sunshine. The food in Miami is amazing too – the large Cuban population makes its influence felt in the mouth-watering local cuisine.
You can get up close with native Floridian wildlife all across the state, whether in animal parks and aquariums, or wild in the Everglades and Keys.
Hugh Taylor Birch State Park in Fort Lauderdale covers 180 acres and is noted for its loggerhead sea turtle nesting. The areas where the nesting happens are marked, and you’ll also need to be careful of other species which have their sensitive habitat here. Cyclists and in-link skaters love the park, while you can hike, picnic, hire a paddleboat or bird watch.
Car hire from Fort Lauderdale Airport is the best way to experience all that this stunning and sunny part of Florida offers. Beaches and waterways, wildlife and effervescent nightlife are all in easy reach and waiting to be discovered.
I want to thank Said Garcia for helping me switch out my car and for helping retrieve my license when I left it at Hertz location. I also want to thank Anthony for helping me find a suitable car and set up the car play for me.

Hertz has moved to a "on-airport" consolidated rental facility. The facility is located directly across from Terminal 1.
For Terminal 1 arrivals - Cross the catwalk on Level 2 into the consolidated rental facility, then take the escalator to Level 3 to the Hertz rental counter.
For Terminal 2, 3, 4 arrivals - Follow signs from the baggage claim area to the consolidated rental facility bus pick up areas for transportation to Level 3. Hertz is located on the third level, to the left.
Walkins - Personal vehicles may be parked in the Terminal 1 Parking Garage. Walk to Terminal 1 to the Consolidated Rental Facility.
A valid driver's license issued from your state or country of residence must be presented at the time of rental. The driver's license must be valid for the entire rental period. If the driver's license is in a language other than English, and the rental is in the United States, an International Driver's Permit is recommended. In all cases, a valid driver's license issued from your home country must be provided, whether or not you possess an International Driver's Permit. You will not be allowed to rent a Hertz vehicle with only an International Driver's Permit.
International customers renting in the U.S. are also required to present a valid international-issued driver’s license at the time of rent and a valid passport in the same name, as a second form of identification.
Mobile/Digital Driver License
A mobile or digital driver’s license does not replace a valid physical driver’s license and Hertz customers will still need to supply their hard copy license until further notice.
Rental of a 15-passenger van in California requires a commercial driver’s license to transport a non-profit group or for commercial use. The commercial driver’s license requirement does not apply to personal use. 15- passenger vans may not be used to transport passengers for hire.
Rentals have a grace period of 29 minutes.
Optional coverages do not have hourly charges/grace period, but are charged as a full day.
Extra hour charges will be incurred at the 30 minute mark if the vehicle is returned more than 29 minutes past the original rental time.
If renting in California:
Hertz provides no liability protection under the terms of the Rental Agreement to the renter from claims of injury by others against you resulting from an accident. Your personal/business insurance may cover your liability. Exceptions: Hertz will provide primary liability protection up to the statutory minimum limits to international customers (driver's license indicates an address outside the USA) renting in California. Please also refer to Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) below.
If renting in Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, South Carolina, Virginia, or West Virginia:
Upon signing the Rental Agreement, Hertz provides primary liability protection. However, such protection is generally no more than the minimum limits required by individual state law. See Financial Responsibility Limits by State.
If renting in any other state in the U.S.A.:
Hertz' liability protection is secondary to any other insurance coverage available to you. If you do not have liability insurance and/or the limits of liability of the insurance coverage available to you are not sufficient to cover claims by others against you, and Hertz, as the vehicle owner, provides liability protection due to an accident, you will indemnify Hertz for any and all payments made.
However, Hertz makes available additional liability protection, which is primary, if the optional Liability Insurance Supplement, LIS, is purchased.
Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS)
Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) provides coverage for you and other authorized operators of your rental vehicle for third party claims.
LIS is primary protection to customer’s personal policy and provides the first $1,000,000.00 of combined bodily injury and/or property damage protection for each occurrence regardless of the state in which the accident occurs. On rentals in California and Florida the maximum combined single limit is $2,000,000.00 for liability protection only.
LIS provides up to $1,000,000.00 of Uninsured/Underinsured protection for bodily injury sustained while driving the rental vehicle.
There are some exclusions to this coverage, which we feel you should know. Under LIS, in the event of an accident, you will not be protected for third party liability:
LIS is third party liability coverage only, except where permitted by law or pertaining to Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage. LIS does not cover personal injury to you or any authorized operator of the rental vehicle or to your or their family members who are related by blood, marriage or adoption and reside in your or their household.
Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)
In most states, in the event of any other loss or damage to the car, regardless of fault, your financial responsibility extends to the full value of the car at the time of rental, less its salvage value, plus expenses for towing, storage impound fees, an administrative fee and a reasonable charge for loss of use. If your responsibility differs in the state in which you rent, it will be stated in Paragraph 4, of the Rental Agreement. In California, in the event of any loss or damage to the car regardless of fault, your financial responsibility will in no event exceed the fair market value, plus actual charges for towing, storage, impound fees, and an administrative fee. In California and Nevada, your responsibility for loss or damage to the car from vandalism unrelated to theft will not exceed $500.00 in California and $2,500.00 in Nevada and you are not responsible for theft, regardless of purchasing LDW, unless the theft results from your fault.. In Illinois, your responsibility for loss or damage for any cause other than theft is limited to $15,500.00. Loss or damage related to theft is limited to $2,000.00, unless the theft results from your fault. In New York, your financial responsibility shall not exceed (i) the actual and reasonable costs that Hertz incurs to repair the car, including costs for towing, storage and impound fees or that Hertz would have incurred if the car was repaired or (ii) the fair market value of the car immediately before the damages occurred, as determined by the applicable market for the retail saleof the car less disposal proceeds. Your responsibility for theft of the car shall not exceed the reasonable costs incurred by Hertz for loss due to theft up to its fair market value, if it is established that you or any authorized operator failed to exercise reasonable care or aided or abetted in the theft.
F.Y.I. – You are under no obligation to purchase LDW or any other optional service as a condition of rental. Your own personal insurance may provide protection for loss or damage to the rental vehicle depending on the state in which you live and the type of policy you have. Also, various credit card companies provide cardholders with some degree of damage protection providing you use their credit card for the rental and decline the optional LDW offered by Hertz at time of rental. The coverage and limits vary. Your policy or credit card coverage should be thoroughly checked for the specific terms and conditions associated with rental vehicles. Remember, most credit card insurance is supplemental, which means it will only reimburse you for loss or damages over and above what is covered by any other insurance you may have and will not cover you for any damage, regardless of cause, if you accept LDW.
Adding LDW after car is on rental:
You may not change the option once the rental has begun, without returning the car and starting a new rental agreement. This will result in the contract being closed out and charges being assessed for the time the vehicle is kept at least 1-day minimum, and a new rental contract will begin.
Cancellation of LDW - New York rentals only:
On New York rentals only, LDW may be cancelled at no charge, within 24 hours of its purchase provided the renter (i) has rented the car for 2 or more days; (ii) appears in person at any Hertz rental location with the car, which shall be subject to inspection.

Personal Effects Coverage (PEC)
Personal Effects Coverage (PEC), offered in combination with PAI, is an option that insures against risk of loss or damage to help protect your personal belongings while renting from Hertz. By electing PEC you will be insured throughout the entire rental period. PEC is insurance protection and pays in addition to any other policy you may have (such as a Homeowner’s policy). However, your benefits provided by other coverage may be affected by the PEC benefit. PEC insurance coverage includes those personal effects owned by you and those members of your immediate family traveling with you during the rental period who are permanent residents of your household. PEC does not extend to non-family members traveling with you.
Coverage Per Person | Minimum | Maximum |
New York & Washington | $600 | $1,800 |
Deductible for All Other States | $250 | $250 |
All Other States | $600 | $1,800 |
