Drive or Fly

Whenever you travel you have to decide if you are flying or driving. The decision often comes down to cost versus convenience. Here's a quick breakdown to help you decide.

If you fly, you're looking at less than two and a half hours to get from Indy to Orlando. For a family of four, you can get roundtrip tickets for about $1,015. A rental car for the week could cost you another $300 some dollars. Our total came out to $1,330.84 round trip. That doesn't include parking at the airport.
