Hiring a car in Orlando is definitely the best way to maximise everything that this incredible destination has to offer. As well as the theme parks, there is plenty more to do and see that will be made so much easier by having your own car. Hiring a car provides much more flexibility than having to rely on shuttle buses and their often long routes, and it also beats expensive taxi fares to and from where you want to go. Whether you are visiting Orlando as a family, with friends or on your own, finding a cheap car to hire is your best bet for the best possible holiday.
Information on places to visit in Orlando with a hire car
Orlando is one of the most magical holiday destinations on earth and as there is so much to do and see, many people come back to this hotspot year-after-year and still never run out of things to do. The obvious place to start is with Orlando’s world famous theme parks. Disney’s Magic Kingdom is the stuff of dreams for young and old and is a must-visit if this is your first time in Orlando. Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure are twin theme parks that feature high octane rides, nighttime light shows and seasonal events such as Halloween Horror Nights. For an excellent night out, we recommend anywhere along International Drive or Universal’s City Walk. When you need a day-off from the thrilling theme parks, we recommend a trip to Florida Mall for some retail therapy and you can also find some fantastic deals on top brands at the Premium Outlets. Slightly outside of Orlando you have the option of some simply superb sandy beaches to choose from. Cocoa Beach is known for its great surf, Daytona Beach is ideal for a full family day-out as cars are permitted to drive on the beach and the quaint beach-town of New Smyrna Beach is one of our hidden gems. On the road to Cocoa Beach you can also find the world famous Kennedy Space Center. The centre still launches into space to this day and has an unmatched space museum and tour.
Car Hire Tips in Orlando
In the past, people travelling to Orlando on a tight budget used to never leave their resorts and were tightly restricted to the shuttle bus schedules to get to and from the parks. These services are still there but hiring a car is now a much cheaper and much better option.
Whether you are tired from a long-day at the parks, have bags of shopping that you don’t want to carry back in 30+degree heat or want to travel somewhere further afield like Cocoa Beach, a cheap hire car is essential to your trip.
Make sure to check the car’s condition and report any visible damages in order to avoid being charged unnecessarily.
