With a rental car, you’ll have the freedom to reach other places of interest such as Myrtle Beach, which is around 1h 30min away by car, is known for its beautiful coastline, amusement parks and boardwalk. There’s also Columbia and Huntingdon State Park, which are both around 1h 30min drive.

  • Once you’ve sorted out your Florence car hire, familiarise yourself with the local driving laws and regulations. Remember that in the United States, cars drive on the right-hand side of the road.
