Please be aware that
weekend flights are generally more expensive than those on weekdays
If you can arrange
your travel during the week, you should make savings compared
to weekend flights
Our home rentals can
start and end on any day of the week...
Fill in Orlando International
Airport (airport code MCO) on the enquiry screen, which is between
20-30 minutes drive away from our Kissimmee homes or Tampa (airport
code TPA) for our Gulf Coast homes
No flights available
for the dates you want?
Don't despair...
There may be flights
available to alternative Florida airports
Tampa (airport code
TPA) is about 1.5 - 2 hours from our Kissimmee vacation homes
& about 0.5 - 1 hour from
our Gulf Coast homes
Miami (airport code
MIA) is about 4 - 5 hours hours from our Kissimmee vacation homes
and more than this to our Gulf Coast homes
If you are arriving
at Miami Airport, we would recommend that you consider arranging
an overnight stop and start refreshed the next day

CAR
RENTAL
Remember that each baby or
child needs to be allocated a seat in the vehicle and you will need baby/child
seats (for children up to the age of four) either from the rental company
or your own as these are compulsory in Florida
These need to be ordered at
the same time as booking your car to ensure that they are available when
you collect your rental car

OUR
TOP TIPS
|
Are there more than 5 in your party?
It will be more economical to rent
one larger vehicle rather than two smaller ones (7, 8 and 12-seater
vehicles are available)
You can make savings on rental costs
for one vehicle instead of two
It will also save you at least $7
car parking fee in most of the theme park car parks!

IN-AIRPORT/OFF-AIRPORT
CAR COLLECTION WHAT'S THIS?
You may have heard about the
terms 'in-airport' and 'off-airport' car collection if you've already
investigated car rental elsewhere before getting to this page
IN-AIRPORT
The car rental reception desks
are located inside the terminal building - you just go in the elevators
to these and then walk across to the car rental parking area to pick up
your car
OFF-AIRPORT
The car rental reception desks
are located within the airport vicinity but you need to get a (usually
free) transfer coach to reach this - cars are picked up from a compound
area
If you have large, heavy suitcases,
kids or the elderly with you, you will probably be tired after your flight
so getting your suitcases on and off a coach and ensuring you've got everybody
may be just too much effort...
Remember too that you will
need to use the process in reverse when you return home and it's much
easier to find the in airport car rental return garage than an off airport
one the other side of the airport perimeter!

end of the car booking form

M & National currently have in airport collection

FLORIDA
DRIVING TIPS
Ensure that everyone wears
a seatbelt and your under 4s are safely strapped in a child seat before
you set off (both of these are compulsory in Florida)
It is Florida law that you
must turn your headlights on at the same time as your windshield wipers

OUR
TOP TIPS
|
Kissimmee has a system of guide marker
posts in both directions on Highway 192
Try to pick up a guide
marker map (available free at restaurants, where you will also
find booklets containing information/money saving coupons for
restaurants, etc) and you will find it easier to locate specific
places using the guide marker numbers
If you are visiting
and parking at one of the theme parks, be warned that the car
parks are GIGANTIC
Make sure that you
write down exactly where you parked your car (Mickey row 3 or
whatever) or you will spend hours trying to find it again!
