Ever wanted to explore the sites of Florida? There are so many things to see and visit, places like Orlando with all the theme & water parks such as Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, take an airboat ride in the Everglades, or go Glamping inside the amazing National Park of Florida, visit the amazing beaches of Fort Lauderdale, walk through the streets in Miami Beach, relax in Naples, drive down to the southernmost point of the United States in Key West, and so many more. What’s even better, you could hop on a ferry to the Bahamas for the day or stay overnight, or take a weekend cruise to the Caribbean with one of the cruise ships like Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, Virgin Voyage, and so many more!
The best way to visit South Florida, is to fly into one of the bigger airports, such as Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, or Miami, and rent a car from companies such as Alamo, Budget, Hertz, Avis, Dollar, etc. Check for offers by booking flights and rental cars together, or combine it with a hotel booking. Most rental car companies won’t charge you a fee for dropping off the car at a different airport, which is great, since Florida is a big state and has lots of miles to cover. No need to waste time by driving all the way back to the same airport, if you can fly in and fly out from different airports!
Booking sites might offer better deals by combining flight, hotel, and car rental, but it never hurts to check the prices individually, since most companies offer you a best price guarantee if booking directly. Contacting a hotel directly might get you an even better deal than posted online – it works!
Make sure to get a toll pass for your car rental! Florida is full of toll roads, and tolls will add up quickly. One option to get one is directly from your rental company, however, they will charge you a rental fee for the toll transponder, which can be pretty steep. Another option is to get one from Visitor Toll Pass, if you are flying into Orlando. Another great way to save on the toll pass, is to purchase it directly from SunPass. Not only will you save on the purchase/rental of the toll pass, but you will save on the actual toll itself as well, as it will save you an average of 25% on all tolls. Check out their website to find out where and how to purchase the SunPass, how to activate it, where to place it in your car, and how to add funds.
Getting to see so many amazing sites is exciting and of course you want to share them with your family and friends back home right away. Why wait until you return from your trip? Worried about roaming charges or aren’t able to add an international plan to your existing data plan? Here is an easy solution: purchase an eSIM from Red Bull MOBILE Data and never worry about running out of data on your trips again!
If your data plan doesn’t cover your destination and you still want to share your experiences or use other apps to watch movies while relaxing at your hotel, get the eSIM from Red Bull MOBILE to avoid expensive roaming charges. We offer data plans in over 100 countries worldwide, and Florida in one of them. You can choose how much data to purchase and when you have used up 80% of that data you will receive a reminder and you can purchase more data, if necessary. You can check yourself how much data is left in your app.
The eSIM from Red Bull MOBILE is also available on cruise ships and ferries with the Telenor Maritime package. Please note, this package will only work on cruise ships and ferries. To purchase a land package please select the destination where you travel to.
Cruise ships offer internet packages, some starting at $20/day and on some cruise lines you must purchase the package for the full length of your cruise. If you want a one-time 24-hour internet pass, it will be even more expensive. There are different plan options, such as video calls and social media only, or full packages to include streaming movies and music. Each cruise ship company has their own plans and packages, check ahead of time to compare options.
