MIAMISKIP IT — PARKING IS BRUTAL
ORLANDOYES — PARKS ARE SPREAD OUT
FT. LAUDERDALEOPTIONAL — WATER TAXI WINS
Our honest take is on each button: in half these cities, NOT renting is the money move. Orlando is the one where a car pays for itself.

FOR CANCÚN & INTERNATIONAL TRIPS · SET UP BEFORE YOU FLY

FIXED PRICE · DRIVER WAITING WITH YOUR NAME
Especially in Cancún, where the arrivals-hall taxi hustle is the trip's only trap: a pre-booked fixed-price transfer ends the negotiation before it starts.

MEDICAL + CANCELLATION · COSTS LESS THAN AIRPORT FOOD
A few dollars a day covers medical emergencies abroad and trip cancellation. On international trips it's not optional — it's the adult move.
