Car Hire Florida Deals - Sixt rent a car

Our Service

Our extensive fleet of rental cars means more choice for your trip to Florida. Choose premium models from world-famous manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz, Audi or BMW or browse a wide selection of affordable economy vehicles. Or consider renting a 4X4 which is ideal for navigating famous highways like Route 1, the country's longest north to south road. Larger groups might appreciate the comfort and space of a minibus while a van or truck is a great choice for events or exhibitions that require you to transport goods or equipment. Alternatively, a sports car or convertible allows you to enjoy the magnificent scenery and climate. No matter which vehicle you choose, you can customise your rental package with our range of optional extras. A Sat Nav makes short work of long trips while adding an additional driver allows you to take turns behind the wheel. Plus, in some cities, you can even opt for Express Toll Service to avoid the queues. We are also able to provide vehicles that have been specifically designed for a range of mobility needs.

Traffic Information

Florida is a large state and many people arrive at its main airports such as Miami International Airport and Orlando International Airport. All of our airport branches are within reach of the city centre; for example, our Tampa Airport branch is near Tampa Bay on Interstate 275 just 9 miles from downtown Tampa while Fort Lauderdale Airport is just 2 miles from the city centre. No matter which airport you arrive at, you are sure of a comfortable and easy drive on well-marked Interstates and roads once you have collected your vehicle. If you arrive by train or bus your trip is likely to terminate in the city centre where you are certain to be close to one of our branches.

Car hire in Florida enables you to explore the sights and attractions at your own pace. Visit the famous theme parks like Walt Disney World and Universal Studios during your stay Orlando or plan a day trip to the world-famous Kennedy Space Centre via routes FL408 and FL528E. Discover Fort Lauderdale, the Venice of America, or hop in your rental vehicle and drive to the Florida Keys on US 1. Or, why not make the most of your Sat Nav and your proximity to the sandy beaches of the west coast like St. Petersburg and Sarasota while visiting Tampa? Be sure to keep some $1 notes handy for toll roads or use your Sixt App to add Express Toll Service to your extras.

Florida has an extensive road system that includes several major Interstates as well as a number of state highways. Most city centres, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa and Orlando, are laid out in a grid-like pattern making them fairly easy to navigate. Traffic can be heavy at certain times and it is worth bearing in mind that the left lane on multi-lane highways is the 'fast' or 'passing lane'. Car hire in Florida also frees you from crowded public transport systems. Although bus services are available throughout the state, routes can be difficult to work out.

Your Car Means Freedom in Florida

Car hire is a real advantage in a state of Florida's size. Explore Walt Disney World, Sea World or Universal Studios or discover the unique Moorish architecture in Opa Locka. Take a weekend drive to the beach from Tampa or use your car hire to load up on designer bargains at the fabulous shopping malls in Orlando or Miami. Plan a trip to the Everglades and meet some of the state's famous alligators on the many nature reserves in the region or visit vibrant cities like Jacksonville or the state capital, Tallahassee.
