Are you planning a Florida vacation?  If so, the price of Florida rental cars can end up being a hefty percentage of your trip’s overall cost.  Here are 3 ways to make sure you get the best prices on Orlando or Fort Lauderdale rental cars.

1. Shop around.  Sometimes the old-fashioned way is best — call or visit the website of each Orlando airport car rental business separately.  Write down not only the cost of the rental, but the total cost after fees and taxes, and compare these prices to decide which rental will be the most affordable for you.
2. Use a comparison shopping site.  If you are looking for a car rental Orlando has a lot of different options — maybe too many to call each one individually.  Comparison shopping sites save time by showing you a variety of different rental rates, so that you can choose for yourself which one you want to go with.  Unfortunately, they don’t allow you to compare fees or the total cost of each, so you’ll have to make your decision based on the rental cost alone.
3. Look for coupons.  Many car rental places will advertise coupons online or in travel publications.  Look for a coupon and then use that in your comparison shopping to see if you can save some moeny that way.

Renting a car can be expensive, but that doesn’t mean you have to pay top dollar.  By being a smart shopper you can save yourself a lot of money!
