Driving Tips in Florida

Driving Tips: Many

driving rules in Florida

are like those in other states, like the requirement to wear a seatbelt. Speed limits are between 20-50 mph in cities, and 55-65 mph on rural roads and highways. You can drive 45-70 mph on interstate highways depending on if they are urban or rural. At uncontrolled intersections, drivers must give the right of way to vehicles on their right.

Just wanted to give a huge shoutout to the sixt employee that took care of me. Her name is Cassandra and she has excellent hospitality skills and was very personable and did everything she could to accommodate our needs. I travel a lot for work and for vacation so I have rented many cars from many places but this is the first for sixt and she gave an excellent experience. I just want sixt to recognize what great value Cassandra brings to the sixt team!

The service provided by Melissa Pantin, the Sr. Branch Manager at the Tampa FL location was exceptional. Being a walk-in client with no scheduled appointment or booking, she was able to provide me with a 5-day rental and a premier car at a great price. The car was washed and cleaned before driving off the lot. Melissa's help was extremely appreciated and I'm thankful for my SixT rental.
