Or you could post an ad on Craigslist to find someone willing to drive it to Florida for free, then add them as an authorized driver (or even try to find someone on this site, depending on the dates I might even be willing to drive it to Florida for you)

For a 3 week period, the difference is ~$200 with the Florida return and >$600 without a Florida return. Gas to Florida and a flight back costs less than $400.
which dates do you see the offer for $10 a day?
