Transportation Tip: If arriving late, consider renting at the airport for your first day, then switching to a Clermont city rental for the remainder of your stay to save on the daily airport surcharges.
On average, car rentals in Clermont cost around $72 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals starting at $29 per day.
Compare city vs airport pick-ups in one search. A $70 rideshare from MCO plus lower daily Clermont branch rates can beat the airport mark-ups on rentals longer than 4-5 days.
Peak season = lock in early, off-peak = monitor drops. Grab a free-cancelable booking 2-3 months out for winter or school-holiday dates, then keep checking; fall and early December prices often dip closer to pick-up.
Check weekly pricing even for a 5-6-day trip. Week-long rates around Clermont regularly cost less than paying the daily rate for the same period.
Dodge rental toll fees. Use the free Visitor Toll Pass at MCO or buy a $5 SunPass Mini to pay only the tolls instead of the rental company's $3-10 daily program.

What documents do I need to rent a car in Clermont?
You'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card. If you're visiting from another country, you should also bring your passport and your home-country license (if it's in English). If your license isn't in English, you'll need an International Driving Permit.
Are there age restrictions for renting a car?
Most companies require you to be at least 21 years old. They charge an extra fee of about $25–$30 per day for drivers under 25. Some companies will rent to you if you're 18 to 20 years old, but they charge very high extra fees.
How do toll roads work in the Clermont area?
Clermont is near Florida's Turnpike and other toll roads. Rental companies offer you toll programs that add a daily fee on top of the actual tolls. You can also use the free Visitor Toll Pass you pick up at MCO or buy a SunPass Mini transponder (about $5) at local stores.
Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?
Yes. Most rental companies ask you to return the car with a full tank, just like when you picked it up. Gas stations are easy to find in Clermont, so you can fill up about 10 miles away from your drop-off spot to avoid extra charges.
What's the best way to avoid airport rental fees?
You can take a rideshare service from the airport to Clermont, which usually costs $60–$90 from MCO. Then you can rent from a local office instead of the airport one. This helps you avoid the airport fees and extra charges.
Can I visit both Orlando theme parks and the beach with a rental car from Clermont?
Yes. You can drive to Disney World in about 30 minutes. You can also take day trips to the beaches on either coast, which are about 1.5 to 2 hours away.
Are there mileage restrictions on rental cars in Clermont?
Most standard rental cars in Florida let you drive as many miles as you want. However, you should always check your rental agreement to be sure.
What should I do if I have a breakdown or accident?
You should call 911 for any emergency. After that, contact the rental company using the roadside assistance number in your agreement. You should take photos, get contact details from any other people involved and get a police report for any major damage.
