Rental Qualifications and RequirementsSanford Airport is located in the south-east of the city centre, around a ten-minute drive down Sanford Avenue and along East Airport Boulevard. Driving around the centre is effortless, with plenty of well-connected roads making it simple to navigate. In the historic downtown area, you’ll feel at ease leisurely driving past the many art deco buildings and along the city’s modern roads.
There’s also plenty of free and long-term parking in downtown Sanford, both on the streets and in designated parking lots. Courthouse parking on Hood Avenue, just a block from Sanford Welcome Centre, offers free parking 24/7 and allows trailer parking at weekends. Close to the Wayne Densch Performing Arts Centre is a car park on 2nd Street and Palmetto Avenue that’s paved and free too. Find more parking in historic downtown Sanford.
Remember to stay on the right-hand-side of the road in Florida (as in the rest of the USA). Speed limits in residential and business districts (including the downtown area) are usually 30mph. On highways in Florida state, it has been capped at 55mph unless stated otherwise – normally on rural interstate highways.
Sanford Airport is in a prime location for reaching Orlando, about half-an-hour’s drive away following the 417 as it crosses Lake Jesup. Full of theme parks, nightlife and performing arts venues, a non-stop stream of entertainment awaits.
Drive an hour or so to the east to reach Daytona Beach. The most direct journey is via the 415, whether you’re taking a trip to relax on the coast or see the iconic International Speedway. Enjoy water activities from a calming spot of fishing to scuba diving, take a river tour to spot some native wildlife or unwind in one of the city’s spas.
Whichever direction you head from Sanford Airport, there’s plenty to do in and around the historic city and wider area. Rent a car at Sanford Airport and easily uncover these great attractions.
Two significant bodies of water surround Sanford; Lake Monroe to the north and Lake Jesup to the south. Both of these have their own conservation areas and are connected via St Johns River, which eventually runs into the Atlantic Ocean near Jacksonville.
There are countless ways to explore both the lakes and the wetlands surrounding them. Lots of hiking trails provide the perfect way to get in among the trees for a spot of shade and the chance to see wildlife ranging from deer and songbirds to turtles and possibly the odd alligator.
Alternatively, jump on one of the boat tours and get out on the water. A safe distance from the jaws of any local snappers, it’s a less strenuous way to enjoy 360-degree views across the lake. Step back in time with an old-fashioned steamboat tour or be daring and rent a kayak for a more active experience.
Wander around downtown Sanford and you’ll soon start to soak up the vibes from the city’s yesteryear. Book onto one of thewalking tours for a great introduction to the important people and places throughout its history. You’ll pass through the historically important suburbs of Georgetown and Goldsboro, learning about the city’s military history, as well as along the waterfront and through various parks.
Sanford Museum is the other main historic attraction. Items from the city’s founding father – Henry Shelton Sanford – are proudly displayed, with exhibits covering the local naval air station, agriculture, business and celebrities. Entry is free and the museum is open five days a week (excluding Sundays and Mondays).
One of the first things you’ll notice in downtown Sanford is the fantastic array of restaurants nestled in and around the old buildings. Flavours from across the globe can be tasted, starting with the German cuisine served up at Hollerbach’s Willow Tree Café. Schnitzel, authentic bratwurst and deli meats continue to make it a local favourite.
Indulge in some spicy Mexican dishes at El Zocalo or opt for Jamaica’s finest food exports at Negril Spice. For something more American, the Colonial Room or Fuel BBQ have menus filled with meaty burgers, brisket and burnt ends.
Wash it all down at Palate Coffee Brewery. Unlike the chains you get in every city across the world, volunteers run this unique coffee house with a mission to eradicate global human trafficking, which is where all its profits go. Find it on West 2nd Street.
Around an hour’s drive on the east coast is Daytona Beach. The retro arcades and shop fronts which line the shores add an element of charm hard to find elsewhere in Florida. Its main attraction is the International Speedway, where you can book a tour and look around the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America.
Get a great view over the city and Florida at Ponce Inlet Lighthouse – the tallest in the state at 175 feet. Or take a relaxing stroll along the boardwalk and pier, grabbing a bite to eat at one of the crab shacks and a refreshing ice cream to cool off when the Florida sun is beating down.
Hire a car at Sanford Airport and you’ll find it easy to explore the attractions in Sanford and beyond.
Rented a Toyota camry in April 2023 from their online site. Walking distance from the airport to the rental and the woman working was fantastic! Very friendly, easily found my reservation and within minutes I had the keys to the car. Finding the car was easy, but that was a bit of a walk in 90-degree weather, lol My advice is to take the toll package Hertz offers. My GPS rerouted me onto a toll route even though it's set for no tolls....

Hertz Customer
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 |
