iRide for 10 days or car?

Hi, when the wife and I first came to Florida we were under 21 so used the iride up and down plus taxis. Been with the 2 kids 3 times since and always had a car and stopped in a villa.

This time (21 days and counting) we are staying at the Rosen Inn International on International Drive so am thinking do we really need a car? Only plan to do one Disney (HS) and all 3 Universal's this time. Car hire seems to have gone very high since 2019 when we last went.

We get free transfers from Melbourne airport anyway so could just hire one for 5 days perhaps?

Just think might be a lot of standing around waiting for a bus in the July heat whereas we could be in a nice air-con controlled car? Trying to be thrifty this time as wasn't planning on a holiday this year but deal was too good to turn down at. Tui.

Do not use the iride trolley, it never turns on time they overfill the buses and they have the most uncomfortable bench seats you could ever imagine - they do have very friendly drivers however. Get a lynx bus pass the no42 and no8 cover idrive corroidor there more frequent and has buses so big never overly crowded it’s $2 a trip but u can buy passes online (7 day unlimited pass is $16) and they will post free to the uk

We never hire a car, more than happy to use the iride and the transport provided by the hotels! Plus, I couldn't bring myself to pay the parking charges!

Hi, also agree about using the Lynx buses rather than the trolley, they run to a timetable and much more frequent. You can also go further afield and we bought a day pass which was valid for 2 days.
