Quick Orlando question...

I have a very quick Orlando question. This is probably simple enough but someone can save me a quick trip to the Hertz Gold booth and/or hoping for a decent map.

I need to get to I-95 going South to Vero Beach from Orlando International Airport. What is the best, most time-effecient way to get there?

Thanks!

Hi dg1,
If you have the address you would like to go, just key in MCO (or other airport codes) in starting address and then the address on the destination, quite a nice web site which gives you directions, plus a map too .... http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py
then click on the Driving Directions and let yahoo do the directions for you. No need to get directions from Hertz Map system

I use www.mapsonus.com all the time -- but for some reason it didn't dawn on me at 2am last night when I booked my e-saver Let that be a lesson; don't post when you've been up way too long. Thanks for the reality check! <g>

From the Hertz lot (they are not on the airport) you need to go back south towards the airport, and then take 528 East (also called the Beeline Expressway) to where it joins with I-95 South in Cocoa, and then take 95 South. The Beeline is a toll road, and will cost a buck or so to get to I-95.

Some people might try to steer you over to take the Beeline West then the Turnpike South. This has numerous diadvantages. First the cost is higher, second the intersection from the beeline to the 'pike isn't good, and third, you would have to get off at Yeehaw Junction (a.k.a. Florida's Redneck Capital) and take 60 to Vero as the next 'pike exit is all the way down in Ft.Pierce

I agree with the Wandering Lion.

Thanks to everyone for their advice. My plan is to take the Beeline East till I fall into the ocean or hit the Kennedy Space Center, whichever comes first. Then I'll hop onto I-95 to my final destination, which just happens to be 60 in Vero.

Remember that Hertz is off-airport at MCO--National/Avis et al aren't.
