  • Keep in mind that all US drivers are required to use child seats while operating Orlando car rentals in the company of any youngster aged 4-8. Therefore, while renting a car from your favorite car rental company in Orlando, be sure to request a booster seat.
  • To go to the majority of the cities in the Orlando area, you can book a rental vehicle of your choosing. The greatest option may be to navigate the congested streets in a little car or a high-end sedan.

  • In Orlando, you must be at least 20 years old to rent a car. There is a mandatory extra underage fee for drivers who are under 25. However, you should be aware that the vast majority of rental cars in Orlando will still let you drive their automobiles without charging you an extra price if you're under 20 years old and need a rental car for a valid military or government mission.
  • Orlando roads are generally well-maintained. Therefore, you will cruise through most of the streets. However, Orlando experiences heavy traffic during peak hours, typically during weekdays in the morning, around 7:30 to 9:30 am, and in the evening, around 4:30 to 6:30 pm.

Alternatively, you can use public transportation such as commuter trains and Lynx buses to navigate town during rush hours.

The toll roads offer alternative route options with faster travel time as they are less congested.
