Unlock the real Florida
Most visitors to Florida start their journey in Orlando, the perfect central hub for exploring the state. While famous for its theme parks, a rental car gives you the freedom to discover the "Real Florida" just a short drive away. Head north to Winter Park, a sophisticated city famous for its chain of lakes, scenic boat tours, and upscale boutiques—a perfect escape from the tourist corridor. For a mix of history and nature, drive east on the Beachline Expressway to the Space Coast. Here you can visit the Kennedy Space Center or explore the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, a sanctuary for manatees and birdlife.
Our Fleet in Florida
At Zest Car Rental, we offer a wide range of vehicles across Florida to suit every type of traveller. From economical city cars perfect for couples, to spacious SUVs and people carriers ideal for family road trips, we have the perfect car for your journey.
One Way Rentals in Florida
You can pick up your car at Orlando Airport and drop it off at a different location, such as Miami or Tampa. One-way rentals are perfect for road trips across the state, allowing you to see more without backtracking.
Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.
Driver Age Requirements in Florida
Can I rent a car in Florida if I am under 25?
Yes. However, nearly all providers apply a Young Driver Surcharge and may restrict access to certain vehicle categories.
Can I rent a car in Florida if I am over 70?
Yes. Florida is very welcoming to senior drivers. Most major providers like Alamo and National have no upper age limit, provided you hold a valid licence.
What is the best time of year to visit Florida?
The ideal time to explore Florida by car is during the cooler, drier months of November to April. During this time, the humidity is lower, and the risk of hurricanes is minimal. May and October are also excellent "shoulder season" months offering warm weather with fewer crowds than the peak summer holidays.
