To hire a car or not?
Hey there, i am new here so please bear with me. We have booked Florida for the first time this summer and we don't know what to do for the best. We are staying in Hunters creek and i have been looking at booking a car with Florida Transport. Anyone used them? Any advice welcome

What are your dates, where are you flying in to, what size of car and lastly what price have you been quoted?

Mid August for 2 weeks. Just waiting for a response. They do a package which picks you up from MCO, drops you off at accommodation via a 20 min grocery stop and then takes you for your car the next day. I have looked around and quotes are around £550-£700. There are 2 adults and 3 children

I will be amazed if their prices are any good. It's the pick up/shop/drop off/pick up etc that bumps the price right up.
Plus I cannot understand why any company doesn't post prices up front and dictates a contact form is required to get a price. Most weird. As post above, ref dates etc.

Please do. In the interim have a little think about type of car/SUV needed and also is it important not to pick up at MCO and if so what price would you attach to that.
Bear in mind on your first day you are going to eat into your Park time by picking up a car.

I would definitely hire a car if you are staying out at Hunters Creek, you will need one to get to the parks and restaurants etc. Driving over there is much less stressful than driving in UK, if you are first timers I would also recommend using a sat nav to get yourselves around as Florida is massive and everything seems to be spread apart with limited public transport.
