Driving in Florida: What to Expect

Florida drives on the right-hand side, opposite to the UK, so take a while to get acclimated, especially if you’re not used to it. Also, keep in mind that US speed limits are in miles per hour, not kilometres per hour as is the case in some countries. Generally, you will find traffic laws and signage quite similar to what you're used to in the UK.

Getting Fuel

There are plenty of petrol stations within a few miles of the airport. Some rental cars may have the option of an added service where you pay for a full tank of fuel up front, allowing you to return the vehicle with any amount of fuel. Check with your rental provider if this is an option for you.

Connectivity

Interstate 10 runs to the North of the airport, making it easy for you to connect to nearby cities Jacksonville, Pensacola and others. The airport also provides simple access to popular Florida destinations such as Miami and Orlando via US Routes 27 and 19.

Climate Check

Florida is known as 'The Sunshine State', and for good reason. The region is characterised by year-round warm weather. So, you might want to opt for a car with air conditioning to make your journeys more comfortable.

Around Tallahassee

Tallahassee, being the state capital of Florida, has plenty to offer from historical landmarks to scenic parks. Drive your rented car around to explore attractions like the Florida State Capitol, Alfred B. Maclay Gardens, or the Tallahassee Automobile Museum.

Money Matters

The currency used here is the US Dollar ($). UK bank cards should work in most ATMs, although it's always worth confirming with your bank before you travel. You'll also be able to pay by card in most places, but it's worth carrying some cash for smaller retailers or incidental expenses.

So, ready for your trip? Plan ahead, get a great deal on your car hire, and start your adventure as soon you touchdown at Tallahassee International Airport!
