Best Jacksonville driving roads
Florida SR-A1A
For an up-close view of Florida’s main coastal towns, take this highway along the Atlantic Ocean from Fernandina Beach (45 minutes from Jacksonville) to Key West. While this entire highway is overflowing with palm-lined ocean views, the stretch between Fernandina Beach and St. Augustine is a real treat.
Highway 13 to Spuds
Roll down your windows for this causal meander along the St. Johns River. On the way to Spuds, you’ll pass beneath mossy oaks and past historic homes, like that of the writer Harriet Beecher Stowe, not to mention beautiful river views.
Highway 98 to Apalachicola
To escape Jacksonville’s resort and condo neighborhoods, head west to Perry to catch this historic seaside highway. Built in 1933, the road runs through wildlife preserves, protected forests, and pristine marshlands and beaches as it zips between the Gulf coast and the Apalachicola Forest.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
