Travel & Recreation:
Renting the Right Car


Consumer Corner
Orlando's Attractions

There are so many things to see and do in Orlando. Take advantage of discounted car rental rates at Avis and Budget to make sure you don't miss a thing.

Renting the Right Car

It may sound obvious, but when renting a car, be sure you get one that's big enough for all your passengers. When you need more comfort on a long drive, 3-5 adults should get at least an intermediate or full size model. Travel advisor Ed Perkins recommends, "With two or three big adults in the rear seat, consider going up to a premium model, such as a Crown Victoria, or even a luxury vehicle such as a Lincoln Town Car or Cadillac DeVille."

To help you understand what you typically get for each type of car categorization:

  • Economy typically means a Chevrolet Geo Metro
  • Compact can be a Chevrolet Cavalier (usually 2-door), Dodge Neon or something equivalent.
  • Midsize generally signifies a Cavalier (4-door), Pontiac Grand Am, Dodge Stratus or similar.
  • Full size is usually something like a Dodge Intrepid or Ford Taurus.
  • Premium may be a Buick LeSabre, Chrysler Concorde, Ford Crown Victoria, Pontiac Bonneville, or similar model.
  • Luxury includes mainly Cadillacs and Lincolns.
