Airport Car Rental
Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) serves the Jacksonville, Florida, the largest city in the state. Jacksonville is located near the Atlantic Coast in the very northern part of the state. It is widely thought of as a blue-collar city and a city to pass by on the way to South Florida. But those that don’t overlook the city have a lot to enjoy without a lot of other tourists to get in the way.
Of course, as in most of the United States, public transportation in and around Jacksonville is not the best. A rental car is almost essential to get around, and here are some places you could go with one:
St. Augustine: Not far from Jacksonville is the city that claims to be the oldest in the US. A popular stopover on the way to Orlando or Miami, it should actually be considered a destination all of its own. Colonial buildings, the Fort Matanzas, and typical tourist traps are a great reason to visit, but the festivals that take place year-round are an even better one. Whether you head there for a weekend or just take a day-trip from Jacksonville, St. Augustine shouldn’t be missed.
Beaches: Many don’t typically thin of beaches when they think of Jacksonville, but it has many great beaches near it, most of which are much less crowded than the beaches further south. Jacksonville Beach is the obvious starting point, but you can find other beaches both to the north and south of it and then you can drive around or take the short ferry to Fort George Island.
Cumberland Island National Seashore: Just over the state line In Georgie is a stunning part of the National Park Service that is perfect for a day or more in nature. Ride around the island, take a tour of the historic sites, or just relax on the unspoiled beach. You have to take a ferry (without your car) from St. Marys to reach it.
Main airlines
Delta Air Lines serves the most passengers at JAX. Its primary route is to and from Atlanta, with most passengers continuing to other destinations as ATL is the airline’s main hub. The low-cost airline Southwest is the second most popular airline at JAX serving destinations such as Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Houston, and Nashville. United and American along with the low-cost airlines Frontier, JetBlue, Allegiant, and Spirit also carry many passengers at the airport with destinations primarily in the eastern and midwestern parts of the country.
Terminals
There is one terminal at JAX with two concourses with 10 gates each. United, JetBlue, Frontier, and Delta are located in Concourse A while Allegiant, American, some Frontier flights, Southwest, and Spirit are located in Concourse C. The concourses are connected and share the same security checkpoint.
Location
JAX is located roughly 15 miles north of downtown Jacksonville. The airport lies just outside the loop around the city created by I-295. The airport is also less than 25 miles from the Atlantic Coast region of Georgia. St. Augustine, the closest major tourist attraction outside of the city, is about an hours’ drive from the airport.

Nearest gas station
There is a cluster of gas stations on Airport Road just after exiting from I-95 (Exit 373B, if coming from the south or Exit 363 from the north). There are Marathon, BP, Exxon, and Sunoco stations. The prices at the stations are general around 10 cents per gallon higher than other stations in the area, a cost that most will be fine with given the convenience of the stations.
If coming from the west on I-295, it’s best if you skip the airport exit and continue to I-95 North and then you can exit and stop at one of the gas stations mentioned previously.
