Emerald Island Resort Kissimmee Florida Vacation Rental VillaOwner's Tips and Places of Interest (Links to Theme Parks etc)
As we've been owners of property in Florida for a number of years we have flown with the majority of airlines, hired from most of the car hire companies, built up a list of our favourite haunts and restaurants, and we're more than happy to share our experiences with you.
Airlines We have more or less flown with any airline that can offer us a good fare - with a family of 5 kids it helps! Traveling outside of the school holidays is always a cheaper option, and there are often some great deals offered by some of the more popular scheduled airlines. However whenever you want to travel it's basically a case of searching for the best deal and we've used websites such as:-
Car Hire Companies Again we've probably tried the lot but the one we tend to fall back on is Alamo - they have units at both Sanford and Orlando International Airports and we have found them to be quite competitive. Whichever car rental company you use be aware that when you go to collect it the hire company representative will probably try to talk you into paying extra and upgrading, even though the car you originally booked is probably very suitable for your trip. Also be aware that insurance will need to be added on to the hire charge if it hasn't already, and this can be quite expensive so we always get an "all inclusive" package when we book on line.
