You can take your car seats with you. We just went to Florida in December. We took them with us to the plane and dropped them right before we got into the plane. I think it was called a gate check? But it was free, that's all that mattered to me. The car rental company wanted more than what it would of cost to buy a brand new one for a 7 day rental. Contact your airline to be sure.

Probably the cheapest will be Advantage Auto Rental on SR 436, just down the road from the airport.

I just rented a Hyundai Sonata for a week, drove all over the southeast including the mountains with 3 people, luggage and an unassembled 109 long block in the trunk. 2100 miles in 7 days. Can't say I loved the car, but it was damned practical.

The Hotel is 20 minutes from the airport, barring heavy traffic.

Star Island Resort and Club

also.... make sure your personal car has full comp and collision though your own insurance company. It's way cheaper to add it to your car for the month than it is to buy their daily insurance rate....which is typically as much if not more than the daily rental rate. Check with your agent to make sure that your insurance would cover a rental.

good point Joe,now do you know where to get the Disney tickets as a package,maybe cheaper that route ,say for a few theme parks for multiple days ,,i did see that for Universal for like 120 for a weeks pass and was good for 2 parks...but not Disney....thanks again..:smile:

Thyat's the thing with car rentals and hotels. The rates change daily. My wife will book a reservation and relentlessly keeps checking back. Better than half the time, the prices drop and she re-books it.

i actually just drove up this past weekend - FL residents get 2-park 2-day passes for only $100 so it was a nice trip ...food for thought: the Howard Johnson "Maingate East" hotel we stayed at was like $33 a night+tax. Its not the nicest, but got the job done and is like 5 mins from the parks.
