The Best time to visit FLORIDA? To avoid the worst of the crowds, the best times to visit Florida is October to December and early January up until the weeks before Easter, then in April to the end of May. . The Easter holidays are uncomfortable with crowds, although the weather is better, the busiest is the Christmas period, starting the week before December 25 and lasting trough until 3rd January. Car parks often close by mid morning as they are so full. The best combination of comfortable weather and smaller crowds is to be had in April, avoiding Easter, and October. However, a few of the main attractions are unaffected by rain, although the roller coasters and water rides will close if lightning threatens. You will be one jump ahead in the queues if you are dressed for the weather, as the crowds thin out when it gets wet. In any event if you are caught out, most of the parks sell cheap, plastic ponchos

As you know, Florida is located in the southeastern United States, bordering Alabama to the northwest and Georgia to the north. Much of the state's land mass is a large peninsular with the Gulf of Mexico to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Caribbean to the south. Florida was admitted as the 27th U.S. state in 1845, after a lengthy period of European colonization stretching back over three hundred years. The state has four large urban areas, a number of smaller industrial cities, and many small towns. Florida is nicknamed the "Sunshine State" because of its generally warm climate, which is subtropical in the northern and central regions of the state, with a true tropical climate in the southern portion. Tallahassee is the state capital, Jacksonville is the largest city, and the South Florida metropolitan area is the largest populated area.

Hiring a car in Florida gives you a much greater level of freedom on your Florida holiday, you are free to go where and when you want, car hire works out very reasonably when hired on a weekly basis. Weekly rental rates can be as low as $100 for the smallest size of car, an Economy (or Subcompact), usually a Corsa-sized hatchback; next up is the Compact, a small family saloon like a Vauxhall Astra; the Midsize (or Intermediate) is a more spacious 4-door, 5- seater like a Vectra; and the Full-size would be a large-style executive car like an Omega, and you can go up the scale still, with Premium, Luxury and Convertible, plus the Minivan, a Renault Espace or VW Sharan type. But beware these low starting rates. There are a number of essential insurances, taxes and surcharges, and these can easily take the final weekly rate to around $300 or more. However, all the big rental companies now offer all-inclusive rates, which can work out significantly cheaper if booked in advance in the UK.

Car Rental Rates can be as low as £100 a week, and you also benefit from easier processing at the Orlando end, making the whole business quicker. Most holiday companies offer 'free car hire', but it is only the rental cost that is free and you must still pay the insurance, taxes and other extras. Having a credit card is essential, and there are two main kinds of insurance, the most important being the Loss or Collision Damage Waiver, LDW or CDW This costs around $20 a day and covers you for any damage to your hire car. You can manage without it, but the hire company will insist on a huge deposit in the order of $1,500 on your credit card (and you are also liable for ANY damage). You will also be offered Supplemental Liability Insurance (SU) or Extended Protection at around $13 a day.

This insurance covers you against being sued for astronomical amounts by any court-happy American you may happen to bump into. Relatively new and again optional is the Underinsured Motorists Protection (in case somebody with only minimal cover runs into you) at around $6 a day Drivers under 25 have to pay an extra $15-20 a day while all drivers must be at least 21. Other rental costs include local and Florida state taxes, which add $7 a day to your final bill, and Airport Handling Tax and Access Fee at $6-7 a day. For those on a budget, you can arrange travel insurance before you go through specialists like insurance4carhire.com who have policies at around £5 a day. You may still need to leave a credit card imprint with the hire firm, but they should accept these policies but it is best to check in advance.
