3 Reasons To Rent A Car When Visiting Florida

florida-beach

Florida is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world. When you combine thousands of miles of beaches, warm weather, plenty of sun, Disney World, and some of the most vibrant cities in the U.S., it’s a great combination for tourism. What some people don’t realize is the size of Florida. Florida is a huge state. From top to bottom is about 450 miles, and from Jacksonville to the tip of the panhandle is about another 400 miles. Unfortunately, Florida has no decent public transportation to get around, so car is the best mode of transportation to hope from one city to the next. Here are 3 good reasons you need to rent a discount rental car when you come to Florida.

No Good Public Transportation

The rail system is not good in Florida. There’s a Commuter Rail in South Florida that can take you back and forth from Palm County to Dade County, but it’s still pretty slow. Other than that, you have Amtrak, and we all know that Amtrak doesn’t cut it. Orlando’s government just passed a bill to start building a high-speed rail from Orlando to Tampa and back, but that won’t be ready for a while. Florida does have a solid highway system though, and that is why renting a car is important. If you visit Orlando, you may want to check out Busch Gardens in Tampa or a catch a football, baseball, or hockey game. Reserving a cheap rental car in Orlando is essential if you want to experience everything Orlando and Tampa have to offer.

Florida Has Dozens of Appealing Attractions

Orlando has Disney and Universal Studios, but it’s not close to the beach. Daytona Beach and Cocoa Beach are an hour away. Cocoa Beach also has the Kennedy Space Center. Miami has South Beach, but the Keys are a great fishing and water sports destination. Renting a car at Miami International Airport is essential, because Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, and the Keys are close enough to drive to.

Great Deals In Florida For Car Rentals

A great example of this is our Ft. Lauderdale Location. You can find an economy car on non-peak days for $12 to $16 a day! All of our locations in Florida have great rates. You can get real-time updates on Twitter for great deals that our customers have recently booked, and we provide a link to our site to let you try to see if that rate is still available!
