Drive a Hire Car in Jacksonville

A great way to get a feel for Jacksonville and understand its origins is to head to Riverside, a part of the city just a short distance of downtown. Drive your rental car southwest of the city centre and set off to explore Riverside, which is made up mainly of houses and buildings dating back to the 1910s and 20s, a great example of early developments in the city. To delve even further into the past of the area, jump in your hire car and head northeast of Jacksonville, to Fort George Island, on which you will find the Kingsley Plantation. The oldest plantation house in Florida still standing today, this attraction is made up of the well preserved remains of an 18th century cotton plantation, much like the ones that once filled the area.

Not only blessed with great natural beauty and excellent weather, Jacksonville is also a city with a passion for art and culture, something which is evident throughout many of the attractions in the area. One place particularly worth a visit is the Gummer Museum of Art and Gardens, located just a few minutes south of downtown with your rental car. Here you will be able to view a grand art collection, made up of thousands of paintings and sculptures from both American and European artists. The museum is also surrounded by huge gardens, immaculately maintained and an impressive sight indeed.

If you are travelling with kids and would like to do something a little more child friendly for a day, Jacksonville has plenty of options. Just north of the city centre is Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, which is home to thousands of animals, and to the east you will find lovely seaside destinations such as Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Jacksonville Beach, all perfect for cooling off during the hot summer months.
