Holidays can be booked with pre-arranged routes, itineraries and accommodation, or you can play it by ear and book your own hotels and motels as you go along, allowing you more time and freedom in a resort or city that appeals to you. The choice is yours!
Highways across Florida are excellent and petrol, or gasoline, is much cheaper than in the UK. American fuel prices will turn you green with envy, but they provide really "value-for-money " Flydrive holidays! You can cover a lot of miles for your money in Florida.
Inclusive car hire is by far the best way of seeing the large Sunshine State, which, at 58,560 square miles, is as big as England and Wales, combined.
One advantage of driving in Florida, is that it is a flat, low-lying state, with no hills and winding roads to worry about!!
There is so much to see, that a car is absolutely essential. Think of the wonderful tourist locations:-
- the vibrant city of Miami and lovely Miami Beach nearby
- the beautiful Florida Keys reaching out into the warm ocean, with Hemingway's captivating Key West at the tip
- the Everglades National Park, also at the southern tip
- the fantastic resorts of Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach and Daytona Beach on the Atlantic east coast
- Cape Kennedy, the gateway to space, also on the Atlantic seaboard; classy Naples Beach on the Gulf of Mexico
- the cities of St Petersburg and Tampa wrapped around Tampa Bay on the Gulf
- Clearwater Beach also on the Gulf
- America's oldest city, St Augustine on the north-east coast
- State capital, Tallahassee in the Florida panhandle up north
- Lake Okeechobee down south
....... the list of places to visit goes on and on!
However, the area that every child in the world would love to visit is Orlando, inland of Cape Kennedy. This is where Walt Disney set out his world-renowned theme parks.
This is the land of Disney World and the Epcot Centre. It is also the location of Universal Studios and Sea World!!
You could spend weeks here, just visiting the world-renowned theme parks.
Florida really is a fantastic place for a memorable holiday........but a self-drive car is virtually essential. Americans do not use buses and public transport like we do in the UK and Europe.
The car really is king in the USA! Remember that Florida has 4000 miles of coast-line!!
A Flydrive holiday is the answer, so why not book now and enjoy the holiday of a lifetime?
