Swap I‑95 monotony for a memorable drive from Miami to Orlando. Start by collecting your vehicle at Miami Airport car rental, then set a relaxed pace along the Atlantic coast or head inland for springs, small towns, and fresh‑air detours. Hola Car Rentals keeps it easy with transparent pricing, maximum coverage, and flexible changes.
Route ideas you’ll love
- Coastal track (I‑95/US‑1): Coffee in Fort Lauderdale, mural browsing in West Palm Beach, and a beach break in Vero or Cocoa. If you’re based in town, compare Miami car hire options for convenient pickup.
- Inland & springs (Turnpike/192): Blue‑green water at Blue Spring or Wekiwa Springs State Park near Orlando. Arrive before noon to beat the crowds.
- Theme‑park finish: Roll into Lake Buena Vista for dinner, then return easily at Orlando International Airport.
Timing, parking & tolls

Sunshine, easy highways, and room for spontaneous stops—book your Miami–Orlando drive with Hola Car Rentals and enjoy the freedom to explore.
Packing list: sunglasses, sunscreen, portable charger, snacks, and a small cooler. Long Florida stretches are easier with cold drinks on hand.
Weather watch: Summer storms pass quickly—wait 15–20 minutes before deciding to skip a stop.
Rules refresher: Move over for stopped emergency vehicles and keep right except to pass; it makes the drive safer and smoother for everyone.
Car choice tips: Couples love compact sedans for efficiency; families often prefer mid‑size SUVs for luggage and strollers. Roof racks are handy for beach gear.
Food & coffee: Stop in West Palm for Cuban coffee, Vero for beachfront tacos, and Winter Park near Orlando for dinner on brick‑lined streets.
Apps & maps: Download offline maps and check live traffic. If a major slowdown appears on I‑95, slide to US‑1 for a slower but more scenic coastal run.
Sample same‑day plan
- 8:00 a.m.: Pick up in Miami, quick breakfast near the airport.

One‑way vs. round‑trip
