In-Depth Information
Standard long-distance fares can be relatively high: bargain airfares can undercut buses
on long-distance routes, and on shorter routes, renting a car can be cheaper. Nonetheless,
discounted (even half-price) long-distance bus trips are often available by purchasing tick-
ets online seven to 14 days in advance. Then, once in Florida, you can rent a car to get
around. Inquire about multiday passes.
Car & Motorcycle
Driving to Florida is easy; there are no international borders or entry issues. Incorporating
Florida into a larger USA road trip is very common, and having a car while in Florida is of-
ten a necessity: there's lots of ground to cover and some of the most interesting places and
state parks are only accessible by car.
Train
fordable option for getting to Florida. Amtrak's
Silver Service
(which includes
Silver Meteor
and
Silver Star
trains) runs between New York and Miami, with services that include Jack-
sonville, Orlando, Tampa, West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, plus smaller Florida
towns in between.
