Car Rentals in Florence

Florence is the county seat of Lauderdale County, Alabama, located in the northwestern corner of the state. Florence is the largest and principal city of the Metropolitan Area known as "The Shoals" in northwestern Alabama. Considered the primary economic hub for this region, Florence is renowned for its annual tourism events, including W.C. Handy Music Festival in the summer in honor of local born Blues legend, and the Renaissance Faire in the autumn. Public transportation tends to be very limited, making a Florence rent a car is a great way to get around. Look for great deals on Florence car rentals and save time and money to explore other local landmarks such as the Rosenbaum House, the only Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home located in Alabama. Florence car rentals are available downtown (usually for better rates than those at the airport) from Hertz and Enterprise. Try Hertz for the lower rates. For air transportation, Florence is served by the Northwest Alabama Regional Airport in Muscle Shoals offering daily flights to Memphis by Mesaba Airlines- a Northwest Airlink carrier, although most passenger travel goes through nearby Huntsville International Airport, offering service to eleven domestic destinations, is about an hours drive from Florence. If you fly into Huntsville International Airport, car rentals are provided in terminal by Thrifty, Dollar, Alamo, Avis, Budget, National, and Hertz. Rentals are also offered via complementary shuttle by Enterprise. Try Thrifty for the lowest rates, followed by Enterprise and Dollar. You must present a valid driver's license and credit card issued in your name at most Florence rental car agencies (although some will take a cash deposit depending on a credit check), along with proof of insurance if you decline the vendor’s coverage options. Usually age requirements for a rent a car are 21 for compact and economy cars, 25 for all others, and an additional young driver charge may apply for anyone under 25 (select agencies will rent to qualifying individuals over 18 for an additional fee).
