Question 1

What are the major attractions in Jacksonville?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Jacksonville is all sorted out but your travel itinerary is looking a little empty, we can give you a few hints and tips.

Close to the city center, Jacksonville Mall is one spot to consider adding to your must-see list. If you still have room on that itinerary, Onslow County Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Pelletier House will keep you occupied as well.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Jacksonville?

Accepted Answer

If you find yourself with a few more days to spare and you're willing to travel 45 miles, take a look at Wilmington Historic District. This place offers plenty of things to keep you occupied. Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts should be high up on your list here. Children's Museum of Wilmington and Wilmington Railroad Museum are interesting attractions too. Located 25 miles away, Surf City is another place to aim for. If you visit, be sure to check out Surf City Pier, Ohana Paddle Sports and Mia's Marketplace.

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Jacksonville?

Accepted Answer

Having your own wheels in Jacksonville will give you the freedom to go wherever you want at your own pace. Maybe you'd like to head out of town, cruise down the open road, and go where the wind blows. If so, drive off in one of our mid-size or full-size SUVs and discover the sandy shores in the area. If you'd prefer to experience city life, jump behind the wheel of something small. Zipping around busy streets and traffic will be a whole lot easier with a compact or mini car.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Jacksonville?

Accepted Answer

For some of us, owning a prestige vehicle is a little (or a lot!) out of reach. But renting the car of your dreams is far more achievable than you might think! Imagine the thrill of cruising into town in a swish sports car, even if it's only for a few days. Or perhaps all you need is a trusty set of wheels to get you from point A to point B. Extravagant or economical? Whatever you decide, one thing's for sure — there's a rental car to suit your style in Jacksonville.

Question 5

Does Jacksonville have peak-hour traffic?
