Furnished Apartment Orlando

With Orlando's booming tourist industry, the city has made sure it's easy to get around Orlando. So whether you prefer to rely on public transportation or take your own car, getting around the city from your Orlando temporary housing won't be a problem!

Public Transportation

Looking to commute from temporary housing in Orlando suburbs into the city? The majority of Orlando residents rely on buses when it comes to public transportation. The LYNX bus system, run by the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority, serves Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties. The 2,500 square foot area is home to 1.8 million residents, many of which rely on the bus service to get around town. With over 200 busses, Lynx serves over 80,000 passengers each weekday.

The Lymmo bus also serves Downtown Orlando and carries 4,000 passengers each week throughout the city. Orlando temporary housing residents take note: this bus runs frequently in a three-mile loop in the city and best of all, it's free!

In addition, temporary housing residents in Orlando can travel on Amtrak, which runs a passenger train on Florida's CSX A Line, which runs up and down the east coast.

Driving

Many Orlando residents hop in their cars when they need to go somewhere. Roads are clearly marked, which makes it relatively easy for Orlando temporary housing residents to find their way around town. By learning a few of the major highways around the city, you'll know the ins and outs of Orlando's roads. Well-traveled highways include:

• I-4: Runs northeast/southwest through Orlando. Typically a crowded road, improvements are planned for I-4.
• Florida Turnpike This toll road provides a north/south bypass around Orlando.
• SR 408: Known as the East-West Expressway, this toll road connects the Florida Turnpike to I-4.
• SR 517: The Beachline (formerly known as the Beeline) runs east and west throughout Orlando.
• SR 417: Known as the Central Florida Expressway, this highway acts as a beltway along the eastern side of Orlando.
• SR 429: The Western Expressway serves as a beltway around the western side of Orlando.

*Take note that SR 408, SR 417, SR 429 and SR 517 are all toll roads. You may want to invest in E-Pass while in your temporary housing in Orlando. This transponder automatically deducts your toll from a pre-paid account.

If you are planning on renting a car while in Orlando, options abound. Since Orlando is a big tourist town, it is one of the largest car rental markets in the world. From Avis to Hertz, Enterprise and Budget, you'll be able to rent the care that best suits your needs. You can also look to the Orlando International Airport for a wide array of rental cars.

Taxicabs

Taxis can sometimes be the quickest way to get around town from your Orlando temporary housing. So if you are late for a dinner date or need to meet a client across town, Orlando's taxicabs can help you out. Some Orlando taxicab companies include Star Taxi, City Cab Co., Gator Cab and Diamond Cab Co., among others. While in your furnished rental, keep in mind that taxicabs do not pick up people from the curb - you'll have to call ahead to catch a cab, so jot down a few numbers and keep them in your wallet.

Limousines

If you need to rent a limousine during your stay in temporary housing, Orlando has multiple options for you. From 40-passenger party buses to stately sedans, you'll be able to arrive to your destination in style (however you define it). Some Orlando limousine companies include First Class Limousine Service, Magic Carpet Limousine Service and Advantage Limousine Service. So whether you are traveling to an important meeting or getting the gang together for a night at Pleasure Island, you'll be prepared!

Airports

Need to fly home for the weekend? Going on a short business trip? You can find a flight out of Orlando International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the world. Over 30 million passengers fly into the airport each year. You can also check flights out of Orlando Sanford International Airport which is located north of Orlando in Sanford. And for the corporate traveler, private aircrafts are chartered out of Orlando Executive Airport.
