Car hire in Orlando

Hi

Going to Orlando in a couple of weeks for the first time. Can anyone help with any recommendations for a car hire company? Would like to get something a bit snazzy if possible like a convertible, unless this requires paying a fortune. If it does we'll get something quite basic.

Any help appreciated.

  • If the convertible is a Sebring, avoid it like the plague, horrible car.

    I had a Mustang convertible and thought it was the worse thing I've driven in my life. Had it for a couple of days in Vegas and thankfully never had to drive too far. Some people really enjoy them though!

    I had Sebring convertible about 4 years ago (the older model). Really enjoyed that car. Drove from San Fran - LA - Vegas.
    The only small problem was the boot was only big enough for 1 case (the other had to go on the back seat). I guess this is the problem with all soft tops - the roof has to go somewhere!
  • Apart from the no-space-in-the-boot issue I just found it to be hugely underpowered and heavy to drive, we only dropped the top a couple of times, most of our journeys were local so we thought it a bit pointless. I guess it would be OK for freeway driving.
