Hi we are due to travel to Florida on the 28 June. I was looking up car hire adn you can get a minivan for US$199.99 a week but no mention of insurance. Can any one advise what is the story with insurance in Florida. What should we go for?
Also are we better picking up at the airport or locally in Kissimmee?
Any advice is appreciated. thanks!
Hi Beach Life
Welcome to the forum. If you click on http://www.orlandovillas.com/ and choose Car Hire from the top menu, this car rental includes all insurance and taxes. These will otherwise will add at least $20 or more per day to your car rental, depending on the size of the car.
Best to collect the car from the airport as it's inside the airport building at Orlando and Sanford Airports otherwise you'll have to hire a taxi to get to your destination and another to pick up the car in Kissimmee, adding even more on to the price of your car rental as you'll need to do it all in reverse when you return!

Hi Beach Life
We have heard from a couple of people that the service from David Langford is excellent - he has a small company which offers a "meet and greet" service. They pick you up at the airport and take you to your villa, where your hire car is in the driveway. Same on the way back at the end of your vacation. I think this would be extremely attractive to people who have not been to Orlando before. Rates seem very reasonable too. Why not email him on

ps - I'm not on any commissions or anything, its just he has been recommended to me as providing excellent, personal service!
