Florida planning
Car hire
Choose the vehicle, cover and collection plan around the people and the real route.
Confident before you travel
The right car is
part of the itinerary.
A larger vehicle can help with people and luggage, but comfort, driving confidence, parking and fuel matter too. Compare the complete rental terms rather than choosing by category name alone.
Farr joins this practical detail to the wider journey, so the right answer reflects the route, arrival time, party and stay rather than one isolated rule.

Florida, made easier
The right car is part of the itinerary.
A larger vehicle can help with people and luggage, but comfort, driving confidence, parking and fuel matter too. Compare the complete rental terms rather than choosing by category name alone.
Vehicle size
Count passengers, large cases, hand luggage, pushchairs and mobility equipment before choosing a category.
SUV or standard car
An SUV can add space and height; a saloon may be easier and more efficient. Neither is automatically more luxurious.
Large families
Three rows do not always leave useful luggage space. Check the intended seating and loading plan.

Good to know before you go.
Clear answers to practical questions, with the details confirmed personally for your plans and travel dates.
Rental vehicles and Florida tolls
Rental-car companies use different toll programmes and charging arrangements. Florida’s Turnpike advises travellers to check the rental agreement and provider fees; standard TOLL-BY-PLATE invoices are sent to the vehicle owner rather than the rental driver.
Read the official guidance ↗Child restraints in Florida vehicles
Florida requires age-appropriate child restraints for young children. The correct seat must also fit the child and vehicle and be installed according to the seat and vehicle instructions.
Read the official guidance ↗Visitor Toll Pass
Visitor Toll Pass is currently designed for eligible rental-car journeys that begin and end at Orlando International Airport. Current eligibility, pickup, return and vehicle rules must be checked before relying on it.
