We actively monitor service levels at the airport to ensure a smooth experience. If a provider's standards drop, we remove them from our site.
We take a fresh, honest approach to car hire. Our booking process is simple: clear pricing, no hidden costs, and no small print to sweat over. We want you to relax and look forward to your holiday, not worry about the logistics.
Orlando International Airport is the perfect starting point for your Florida adventure. While the theme parks are the main draw, a rental car allows you to escape the crowds and explore the wider region. Drive just 30 minutes north to the sophisticated enclave of Winter Park to enjoy tranquil boat tours, art museums, and upscale dining. If you prefer the coast, head east on the Beachline Expressway to discover the Space Coast. Here, you can experience the history of the Kennedy Space Center or enjoy the quiet, unspoiled beaches of the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.
Florida's highway system is excellent, but it relies heavily on toll roads, particularly around Orlando (such as the 417 and 528 expressways). Many of these are now entirely "cashless" and operate via a Toll-by-Plate system.
Our Advice: It is highly recommended to speak with your provider at the rental desk about their specific toll management options and any associated daily convenience fees. This will ensure you can navigate the expressways stress-free without worrying about unexpected fines in the post.
At Zest Car Rental, we offer a wide range of vehicles at Orlando Airport to suit every type of traveller. From economical city cars perfect for couples navigating the local area, to spacious SUVs and people carriers that provide maximum comfort and luggage space for the whole family, we have the ideal car for your trip.
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, giving you the flexibility to fly out of a different airport.
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.
Can I rent a car in Orlando if I am under 25?
Yes. However, nearly all providers apply a Young Driver Surcharge and may restrict access to certain larger vehicle categories.
Can I rent a car in Orlando if I am over 70?
Yes. Florida is very welcoming to senior drivers. Most major providers operating out of Orlando Airport have no upper age limit, provided you hold a valid, full driving licence.
The ideal time to explore Orlando and the surrounding areas by car is during the cooler, drier months of November to April. During this window, the humidity is much lower, making days out far more comfortable. The shoulder months of May and October are also excellent choices, offering warm weather with fewer crowds than the peak summer and school holiday periods.
