Insurance
There are so many
companies offering car hire in Florida
that it is easy to be confused by it
all. However, it is really quite
simple for British travellers as the
packages have been specifically
designed to include everything you will
legally need to drive in Florida.
There are two basic
packages. The All Inclusive will
include all of the insurances you will
need to drive in Florida, the airport
fees and local state taxes that are
required to be paid and unlimited
mileage. Some providers will also
include one extra driver free in this
package which makes an economical
package for a family or couple.
Fuel is not included in this package -
you pay for a tank of fuel on arrival
and then return the vehicle empty at
the end of your trip. or pick the car
up full and return it full (depending
on provider) for no extra charge.
The upgraded package
is often known as Silver, Gold,
Platinum, Ultra Inclusive or Inclusive
Plus depending on the particular
provider. But the package is once
again, basically the same. It
includes all of the above, either 3
or all additional drivers (again,
depends on provider) and an initial
tank of fuel. This is a good
option if you need more than 2 drivers,
or are only going to have the car for a
week.
Please be aware that
to purchase anything at the desk in the
airport is going to be expensive, for
instance if you are unsure whether or
not you need an upgrade to a larger
car, you should be paying for it BEFORE
you arrive at the airport, what might
cost you a few pounds when you book
will cost 10 x that amount at the desk.
This is because all of our cars are
paid for in advance at a bulk rate.
