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
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.
