Undoubtedly, not everyone wants to drive on vacation, and for
those that fall into this category, there are of course taxi
cabs available, as well as limited bus services to get you
around. However, although it can be done, the bus / taxi combo
is not in any way the most cost effective or convenient way to
travel.
Of course, if you are just visiting Florida to soak up the
sunshine from the pool deck of your rented luxury villa, then
you may be content to forgo the car and just utilise taxi cabs
for the odd time that you do venture away from your vacation
home. However, there is such a vast world of excitement out
there, that to do so would surely be selling yourself short.
And whilst Disney does provide free park to park transport once
you are on Disney property, getting there initially can be a
time consuming and often expensive experience.
So, to my mind, if you want the convenience of being able to go
where you want, when you want, there is no better way to achieve
this than by renting a car for the duration of your vacation.
Amazingly, with the incredible all inclusive and fully insured
rates that a select few on line car hire companies provide, I
Vacation accommodations: vacation rentals vs. resortsChoosing your accommodations is a big part of planning a
vacation. There are many types of places to stay. Two of the
most popular are traditional resorts and vacation rentals which
are growing in popularity. Resorts are large, usually company
owned hotels. Vacation rentals are usually individually owned
and can be houses, apartments or condos. The difference between
the two are distinct, but they do have some similarities. When
choosing which is best for you it might be easier to compare the
two.
Vacation rentals take you from a crowd to an individual place.

feel sure that you will be pleasantly surprised how economical
it is to have the freedom and luxury that you really deserve.
However, a word of warning is advisable at this point, as not
all car rental deals are as clear cut as they first appear. Many
travel agents or charter airline companies, will offer you a
"free" rental car as an incentive to get you to book with them.
In reality, these "fly drive" deals as they are commonly known,
can often work out many times more expensive than if you had
booked the car hire and flights separately, as they often
involve many hidden extras and required insurances to be paid
when you pick up your car at your arrival airport.
Of course by that stage, you are thousands of miles away from
home, and literally stuck between a rock and a hard place. As a
result, you have no option but to pay the hefty extra fees, and
very quickly, the "free" car rental doesn't seem such a good
deal anymore.
I would therefore always advise that you do a little research
and check on line which car rental companies offer a guarantee
of fully inclusive, fully insured prices, and also allow you the
opportunity to select the size and class of vehicle that is best
7 Checks For Your Next Vacation Rental1. Always book your vacation rental as early as your planning
allows. The better vacation rental homes book out quickly.
2. Check very carefully that the price quoted for your vacation
rental is FULLY inclusive & that there are no hidden extras - if
they do make quite sure that you are fully aware!
3. Always ask for full details regarding the location of your
vacation rental reach you immediately after you have paid your
full balance.
4. Do not book your flight or ferry UNTIL you have full
confirmation that your vacation rental home has been reserved
for you.

money you can save by cutting out the middle man and making a
simple on line reservation.
So, in conclusion, I would reiterate that whilst it is possible
to "do" Florida without a car, the benefits of renting one far
outweigh the other options available. After all, for most folks,
a trip to Florida is a long anticipated vacation of a lifetime,
and once you discover how much there is to experience and enjoy,
you'll be glad that you took my advice.
