Of course it's possible. If you are under 25 it gets harder and will be more expensive. Some places don't rent to those under 25 or under 21.

Often times you'll get unlimited miles for the car if you stay in certain states. The last time I rented it included most of the Northeast but did not include SC, GA, or FL. Other times I've had a car with unlimited miles if you stay east of the Mississippi River, which includes all of Florida. So check around about what restrictions might exist on the unlimited miles, or you could end up paying a lot more than the basic rate.

Boston to Miami (which is almost at the other end of Florida) can be about a 24 hour drive, so there will be a lot of driving in one sitting or you will end up taking 2 days each way and only really be in Florida for 3 days. Depending on how many people and how much you need a car within Florida, it might be better to fly instead.
