The Ocala National Forest is well-known for off-roading adventures. If this happens to be one of the reasons that you’re in the city, having a vehicle well-suited for off-roading terrain, including sandy terrain and rocky roads, will make the trip worthwhile. A Jeep or a four-wheel-drive would be a good choice for this task. If you intend to stay within the city, any on-road vehicle will do just fine as long as it meets your capacity needs and budget.
Unless otherwise posted, the maximum speed limit in Ocala is 55mph. That said, when you venture into a municipal speed area, keep in mind that the limit is typically 30mph, which also goes for business and residential areas. School zones demand a lower limit of 20mph, but when driving on rural interstates or a limited-access highway, you can maintain 70mph. In any area where the speed limit is not posted, you should drive at a maximum of 30mph.

Pros:
Pick up was easyCons:
Dropping off wasn’t convenient because of their hours and even though they’re closed Sunday and I dropped off on Sunday they still charged me a full day for Monday.6.8 Okay
Anonymous, Oct 2020
Pros:
Staff was friendlyCons:
The drop off location had been shut down and had to locate another drop off site. Gentleman was nice and waived the charge to return it to a different site than stated on contract. This should not have happened, if a location has been shut down, then it should not have been in the drop off options.8.0 Very good

Pros:
The staff and the lady that helped me was very helpful.Cons:
I just did not like the style of the car. It was uncomfortable. It smelled like a dog had been in there previously. I had to drive to pick my son up and all of his stuff smelled like dog when we got home. Maybe take more time to clean it better before someone else rents it.2 locations in Ocala

Pros:
Yes, the staff were friendly. Their price for the large high-roof van was awesome, especially with the unlimited miles. Actually got over 20 mpg with the van, even when fully loaded with furniture during a 234 mile round trip.Cons:
The van was a little dirty inside the cargo area, but nothing serious. If the price remains the same, I'd use Hertz again if I have need for a cargo van rental.6.8 Okay

Pros:
when i arrived in Ocala to pick up my car i was asked to show two pictured forms of id, i did not fly there so i did not carry my passport and i do not even need one unless i travel out of country. Katie was just doing her job and would not rent to me because your computer requested the 2nd id. i usually use Enterprise to travel, however your rates appeared to be better. i arrived much earlier and returned my car early and was charged over 300 dollars for two days. i called avis and you rerouted me to pick up a car in the ocala airport, the gentleman also has the same request of me to show two form of picture id. he rented to me anyway but gave me a crossover which ate more then half the gas that the ikea would have used. you should have stated that i would need that id, what a stress you caused me to an already stressful time in my life.Cons:
state you might need a second picture id. your prices werent the price you state upon holding your car. i will not use avis if i can help it in the future.2.0 Poor
Cynthia, Mar 2021
Pros:
VERY, VERY BAD experience. Reserved a convertible for 9AM. When we arrived convertible was not available. We were given a DIRTY Dodge Charger. The car was dusty on the outside had not been cleaned or disinfected in the inside. We had to wipe down the seats and steering wheel. This is a pandemic I expected a disinfected car. Car also smelled of cigarette smoke. Why would two grandmothers want a Dodge Charger. We ordered a mustang convertible to enjoy the Florida sun. We are very unhappy. I will tell everyone I know about my BAD experience with Avis/KAYAK.Cons:
The car we ordered (Convertible) should have been at the pick up area. Attendant should have worked with us, we were willing to go to another location for a convertible. He was not helpful Attendant needs customer service training Attendant needs more Avis training. Replacement car was filthy both inside and out. Replacement car needed to be disinfected inside we are in a pandemic Replacement car needed the smell of smoke removed WE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH BOTH AVIS AND KAYAK2.0 Poor

Pros:
Nothing. They didn’t have the vehicle I ordered and tried to get me to take another for more money.6.0 Okay
Anonymous, Jun 2020
Pros:
The price was right on. Ease of pick and drop off was good.Cons:
We were given a car with a tire that had a known issue of leaking air. This created a situation on our road trip where we needed to swap out the car. The office in Ocala, Florida was disorganized, and the representative at the counter was disinterested. The gentleman in the car area was helpful and kind and filled the tires with air. However, this car should not have been rented out to anyone as there was a known tire leak.2.0 Poor
