Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Florida?

Accepted Answer

Get ready for a fun-filled adventure in Florida. Which car you decide on depends on the type of vacation you have in mind. If you're traveling on your own, why not go for a compact car? They're economical to run and a cinch to park. If you're on the road with a few friends, consider an intermediate or a standard car. They offer more legroom and space for everyone's bags.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Florida?

Accepted Answer

First of all, there's a great range of luxury vehicles to rent in Florida. What you end up going with is largely dependent on what you're willing to spend and what you plan to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles often spare no expense when it comes to mod cons and comfort. If you're splashing out, why not go for a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a slick medium-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you're just after a set of wheels to zip around town in as efficiently as possible, you're better off going with a budget compact vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).

Question 6

What side of the road do they drive on in Florida?

Accepted Answer

In Florida, you'll need to drive on the left side of the road. This means the driver's seat is on the right-hand side. If you've chosen a manual transmission rental vehicle, you'll need to get used to changing gears with your left hand.
