Visiting Florida

Rental Car Hire - Dollar, Alamo and Budget

Cabriolet, 4-Door, MPV or Hummer?

If you have driven around the Walt Disney World area, you will know that it is designed to be 'tourist friendly'.

The roads are wide, signs are clear, intersections have lane markings to follow, there are few roundabouts and the driving is more relaxed - unlike in the UK.  

Although driving in the US has some different rules, these are simple to understand.  If you are unsure, get the rental company to through the main ones before you drive away.  The vast majority of hire cars are automatic transmission, which means no clutch and are overall easier to drive.  They are almost all petrol as well.  You will see that the price of gas (petrol) is much cheaper per gallon than in the UK.

To help you find your bearings, the car hire company will provide a simple map.  However, a good detailed map (or Satellite Navigation option) is worthwhile as the road network is regularly extended and improved.

US Car Hire for Dollar, Alamo and Budget (top of page)

With many companies renting cars for your visit to Florida, we believe one of the best is US Car Hire.  Here you will find discounted rates on vehicles and options alike.  Based in the UK, you are able to choose from Dollar Rent-A-Car, Alamo and Budget, with a number of collection and drop-off points (including the airports and highway US192).  Vehicles can range from small compact cars through to family MPVs, convertibles and even Hummers and prestige cars.

Having used US Car Hire for a number of years, booking a car for your trip is clear and straightforward.  Simply reserve with a deposit and pay the balance a few weeks before your collection date.  A voucher is then e-mailed through for you to present at the car desk at your collection point e.g. Orlando Airport.  

  • Up to 25% discount off standard rental prices
  • Fully comprehensive insurance 
  • Free tank of fuel and multiple drivers (Gold option only)
  • Collect and return to different locations in Florida
  • Latest models, well maintained with low mileage
  • Select your make, model and colour (Alamo only)
  • GPS Satellite Navigation option (can be pre-programmed for the villas)
  • No credit card surcharges

Although not mandatory, there are many car insurance options available.  However we would always advise 'LDW' (Loss Damage Waiver) and 'CDW' (Collision Damage Waiver) insurance which are included with US Car Hire.  'LDW' is for loss or theft of the vehicle and 'CDW' is for damage to the vehicle.

When staying in Indian Wells, although it is not essential to have a rental car for the shops, restaurants and parks, in order to make the most of the Orlando area, you should really consider one.  However, if a car is not your scene and a Harley Davidson is - not a problem, these may be rented as well.  Whether you opt for Satellite Navigation or not, to help find your villa when arriving in Florida, we provide route instructions from either Orlando or Sanford International airports - along the highway SR417 Florida Greeneway.  Alternate instructions are available when you are arriving from elsewhere in Florida.
