Fly. You will avoid crappy weather, road craters and speed traps as others have mentioned.

Rent a big/fast car in FL. I drove a Toyota RAV4… You will not be happy.
I drove my truck to FL last year. Much better. FL highways are fast and full of trucks. But watch out for the slow moving left lane bandits!

We had the same dilemma a few years back. Flights were about $3400 for 4 people. Car rental was about $1000. So $4500 or so all in for transportation. I told my wife that I could literally buy a car for a week and sell it and still come out ahead...or lease a car for almost a year and roughly break even.

I still flew because taking 2 extra days off of work is more costly than the flight/rental cost.

Agree. You can go almost anywhere for $1300/person flight. Florida is really overrated. Go somewhere where with history, culture, sophistication, etc. Drivers in FL suck as well (some too fast, others too slow, all at the same time).

Since this is a BMW forum, go to Munich. I did a European Delivery during Christmas. Munich during Xmas is really great with the Munich Christmas Market at Marienplatz (Christkindlmarkt). See Welt. Go on the Autobahn in the winter. I bet you will spent the same or less and have a FAR BETTER experience with way better memories. If you do take my advice, make sure you post pics here and send a shout out to me!
