The rental car business in the United States is a multi-billion dollar industry. The largest rental car company is Enterprise which also owns Alamo Rent A Car, Enterprise Rent A-Car and National Car Rental. Enterprise alone has nearly a million vehicles on the road with over 6,202 locations in the U.S. alone. Hertz, Avis and Dollar come in second, third and fourth.
Florida’s warm weather, Orlando’s theme parks and Miami’s beaches and nightlife attract millions of tourist each year from around the world. Many tourists rent cars directly at the airport. Each year Florida’s tourism industry attracts nearly 14 million visitors from 181 countries who spend $15 billion.
Many of the people who rent cars in Miami come from foreign countries and are completely unfamiliar with Florida’s traffic laws. In January 2013, the Florida legislature enacted Florida Statute §322.04, a law requiring international drivers to carry a valid International Driving Permit in addition to a valid license from their home country to drive or rent a car in Florida. Within a month, Florida’s Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles announced that it would not enforce the law.
The law applied to all international drivers, including Canada where a majority of Florida’s seasonal tourists are from. The Canadian Automobile Association was particularly annoyed by the law since millions of Canadians reside in South Florida during the winter months, considering it a second home.

Florida drivers must carry $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP), which pays part of your medical bills and lost wages no matter who was at fault. When injuries are serious or permanent, you may be able to pursue a claim against the at-fault driver for more.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy may pay. Florida does not require every driver to carry bodily injury liability coverage, so this coverage often matters.
For most negligence claims, Florida’s deadline to file a lawsuit is two years from the date of the injury. Claims for wrongful death, medical malpractice and claims against government agencies follow different rules, so talk to a lawyer early.
Florida uses modified comparative negligence. If you are found 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover.
