Driving in Florida for the first time...

....do we need a map, if so any recommendations please?

We've got a Rand McNally laminated map of Sarasota - really good! Will be getting the Orlando version too as I like the Sarasota one so much

Welcome to borrow it after December!

I would say yes definitely get a map only because we did get lost once and it would have been worth it for that alone LOL.

Hi Kaylee

We have never bought any maps. When you hire your car, you are usually given a map, which is all that we have used in the past.

I will have a look as I am sure I have a spare one somewhere, if not I can always get you one next month

Hi, another vote for the laminated map we found it great, easy to read and easy to fold - no need to fight it to fold it!!!, we use ours in conjunction with the free map given with the car hire.

Don't know how you've booked your car, but in the past we've used Virgin (yes, I now know it can be done cheaper), but when you get your docs they give wonderful foolproof istructions of route from airport to heotl, including tolls & their costs. We have a little pop up map you can get for a few pounds in places like WH Smith & as long as you are not going off the beaten track, this coupled with the freebie ones has been perfectly adequate
