Top tips for renting a car in Central Florida
- The temperatures in Central Florida, regardless of time of year, can be quite warm. In the summers, however, they can be sweltering. If you are traveling to the area any time between spring and fall, you’ll want to be sure that you secure a rental vehicle that has good air conditioning. In the winter months, when the temperatures are still warm but more temperate, a convertible could be a fun option.
- Central Florida is a large and exciting area to explore. What’s more, there are lots of opportunities for adventure and exploration, including lakes, beaches, and some of the world’s most renowned amusement parks. If you plan to pack a lot into your trip, you’ll want to secure a vehicle that can pack a lot of gear but can also travel the vast territory economically. For this reason, mid-sized vehicles can be a good choice for the region.
- Florida’s traffic laws typically mimic the laws that can be found throughout the rest of the United States. Specifically, it’s worth noting that it is illegal to use a handheld device, such as a tablet or cell phone, while you are driving in Central Florida. This form of distracted driving could result in a hefty fine. It’s recommended that you opt for a vehicle with Bluetooth capabilities if you anticipate the need to use your device for directions or phone calls.
- If you plan to spend a majority of your time in some of the larger cities in Central Florida—such as Orlando or Tampa—then you’ll want to secure a smaller vehicle. While the infrastructure for motorways throughout Florida is very good, a smaller vehicle may benefit you when it comes to finding parking spots in the region’s metropolises.
