Top tips for renting a car in Oakland
A rental in Oakland gives you the freedom to explore local parks, visit the charming neighbouring town of Winter Garden, and even take a trip to Orlando’s theme parks if you’re in the mood for adventure. Here are the top car rental tips to keep in mind so you can focus on soaking up every second in Oakland.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Oakland?
When it comes to road rules and driving conditions in Oakland, speed limits are typically between 30 to 55 miles per hour (mph), with lower limits near schools and residential streets. Seat belt laws are strictly enforced, so make sure everyone in the car is buckled up.
Be mindful of cyclists, especially near the West Orange Trail, as they often share the roads. Give them plenty of space and stay alert while driving. Florida law also prohibits texting while driving, so keep your phone away to stay safe and avoid fines.
Keep in mind that weather conditions can also impact your journey. Rainstorms can arrive unexpectedly, making roads slippery. When it rains, turn on your headlights, reduce your speed, and leave extra space between vehicles.
What is parking like in Oakland?
On-street parking is generally easy to find around town, especially along Tubb Street and near Speer Park. If you need more space, look for parking spots near the Oakland Town Hall on North Tubb Street, the Oakland Meeting Hall on East Oakland Avenue, or the free parking lot in Oakland Nature Preserve. Just keep an eye out for signage to avoid restricted or time-limited zones.
Are there toll roads in Oakland?
There are no toll roads directly in Oakland, but you may encounter them if you drive toward Orlando or other major highways. Florida’s Turnpike and State Road 429 both have toll checkpoints, so carry a bit of cash or a card if you plan on venturing that way.
Chat with your host via the Turo app and ask if they've included coverage for tolls. Otherwise, bring some cash or a card, just in case.
Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Oakland?
Yes! For gas stations, check out the BP at 16131 W Colonial Drive, or the Circle K at 17503 W Colonial Drive — both are a quick drive away. If you’re cruising in an electric vehicle, keep an eye out for chargers at 220 N Tubb Street and within the Oakland Nature Preserve. There are also plenty of options in Winter Garden (check out Tremaine Street or S Dillard Street). A quick glance at your favorite EV charging station app will help you plan a speedy charge stop.
Do I need to rent a car in Oakland?
Most visitors agree that renting a car in Oakland is the easiest way to see everything from Speer Park to Orlando’s theme parks. Public transport is limited, and if you’re juggling theme park visits, errands, and scenic day trips, having your own set of wheels beats relying on pricey rideshares or complicated bus routes.
