KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Orlando
- Enjoy the flexibility of having car rentals in Orlando to explore all there is to see in the city and nearby areas. One of the main attractions in Orlando is Walt Disney World. With cheap car rentals in Orlando, you can get there from downtown in around 20 minutes, as it is about 15 miles away. As for Universal Studios Florida, about 10 miles from the city center, a car rental conveniently gets you there in about 15 minutes. Take advantage of the freedom of having your own vehicle to discover some of the nearby beaches, lakes, and state forests, as well.
- The car rental agencies located in the Orlando International Airport (MCO) terminals are highly-rated and have convenient on-airport sites. Enjoy the comfort of not needing a shuttle bus to get to your Orlando car rental, right upon your arrival. Make your way to the R1 level of the parking garage to check in, there are two parking garages (A and B) where you’ll locate your rental vehicle. There are plenty of car rental services with vehicles available to pick up directly from the airport, such as Avis, Hertz, and Budget. When you book cheap car rentals in Orlando through one of these airport agencies, you’ll be on your way to exploring the city and its attractions in no time.
- Like other larger cities, there can be a significant amount of traffic in Orlando, especially around rush hours. In this case, to avoid getting stuck in a jam, stay away from the main entry and exit highways around work commute times between 7:30 am and 9:30 am, as well as 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm. The roads known to get clogged are mainly Interstate 4, the segment of U.S. Route 17-92, as well as Taft-Vineland Lane along the southern end of Orlando.
- Roads in Orlando are generally catered to tourists, which makes navigation easy. Taxis in the city can get expensive and hotel shuttles to various parks can get crowded, depending on the season. If you plan to visit any of the parks or attractions, a rental car gives you the option of packing extra snacks, drinks, and other essentials without having to carry it on your person.
- Most major car rental companies are located on-site at Orlando International. They can all be found on the A-side and B-side of the Terminal on the Ground Transportation Level (Level 1). If you decide to use a car rental company that is not at the airport, most companies provide free shuttle transport from the airport to their off-site locations.
- You must have proof of insurance in order to drive legally in Florida. You can obtain insurance through the rental company, but, to ensure coverage, check with your personal insurance before traveling. When driving through rainy conditions, windshield wipers and headlights are required to be on. Seatbelts are mandatory and all children under the age of 5 are required to be in a federally approved car seat. Speeding fines are doubled in construction zones, so navigate with caution and be mindful of your speed.
- You can expect traffic delays during rush hour at 7:30-9:30 am and 4:30-6:30 pm. Toll roads are the best way to avoid delays. Most rental cars will already come equipped with a SunPass sticker so that you can move through the toll without stopping. If the rental company does not provide the pass, be prepared to have plenty of quarters ready for each toll booth.
