Driving in Florida is a delight. Most highways are uncrowded, and Floridians are considerate drivers. Gasoline is inexpensive and car rental rates are the lowest in the United States.

Car rental costs in Florida are quite cheap and you can save money by booking and paying before you leave home. Fly-drive deals can be 50 percent cheaper, but be careful of “free” car rental. Extras like state tax and insurance are not included in these offers.

If you rent when you arrive, it is usually cheaper to rent a vehicle at the airport than in town. All you need to rent a car is your driver's licence, passport and a credit card. The minimum age for car rental is twenty-one, but drivers under twenty-five sometimes pay extra.

Make sure your car rental includes Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) - also known as Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) - or you will be responsible for any damage to the car. Rental agreements include third party insurance, but it's best to buy additional or supplementary Liability Insurance. Some companies add a premium if you want to leave the car in another city and all charge a lot for gas. Make sure you leave the car with the same amount of gas.

Most international car rental agencies offer a range of vehicles from economy models to convertibles. All rental cars come with an automatic transmission, power steering and air conditioning.
