Hire cars are almost omnipresent in Orlando and companies like Alamo, Dollar and National have some of the biggest fleets in the world here. Basic car hire is quite cheap - although various taxes and fees can add considerably to the price. UK nationals must remember to bring both parts of their driving licence if they have a photo licence. Seat belts must be worn at all times, front and back, and child seats must be used for under fives. Local speed limits vary from 55-70mph (88-112kph) on the motorways to as low as 15mph (24kph) in built-up areas (notably near schools).
Florida in general is served by two main motorways - I-95 from the northeast, and I-75 from Canada and the Midwest, both of which run down either coast, plus I-10, which runs the full width of the USA from Los Angeles to link up with I-75. You can reach Orlando from I-95 or I-75 via I-4, which runs east-west through central Florida. Almost all the attractions of Orlando can be reached via I-4, while Highway 192 is the main route immediately to the south serving the Kissimmee area. The (toll) Central Florida GreeneWay (417) then circles a large part of Orlando and is useful for reaching both airports.
Greyhound (tel: 1 800 231 2222; website: www.greyhound.com) offers daily services from Jacksonville and points north, as well as from Miami. American Coach Lines (tel: 1 800 488 6876; website: www.americancoachlines.com) offers charter bus services from Maryland, North Carolina and Georgia to Orlando and Florida.
