Getting Around, Orlando Travel and Orlando Transport
(Orlando, Florida - FL, USA)



Getting around Florida is a relatively stress free experience on account of its solid transport system. Modes of travel and transport in Orlando are perhaps more limited than in other US cities; however, this is not of consequence since those that are available cover all possible travel options. Private taxis and shuttles in Orlando are always on-hand, while major hotels run their own bus connections with the airports. The government-run Lynx bus services operate throughout Orlando and Central Florida offering cheap, convenient travel and transport options for visitors and locals alike.

Orlando Travel and Orlando Transport: Orlando Car Rental - Orlando, Florida (FL), USA
Many international and domestic visitors to the city of Orlando arrive on what is commonly known as 'Fly-Drive' packages, because it is widely accepted that a vehicle is something of a necessity if you are to really make the most of all of Orlando's attractions. The Interstates are a little crazy and bumper to bumper driving is not uncommon, although around the town conditions are a good deal more relaxed and driving is a relatively stress free experience. Parking in the tourist areas is generally not a problem as most attractions have vast car parks. Renting a car can be an economical way to travel around the Orlando area, with some firms offering discounts for rentals of three days and more, particularly when booked on the Internet.
