Travel

Should I rent a car?

The hotels we listed are in the center of the beach town and walking distance to local restaurants and shopping. Ubers and Lyfts are available, but if you'd like to travel around Vero we recommend getting a rental car for peace of mind. Avis and Enterprise both have locations in downtown Vero Beach or you can pick one up when you fly into MCO or PBI.

What will the weather be like?

Florida weather is very unpredictable, but November has an average high of 78° and an average low of 68°. We recommend packing warm weather clothing along with some layering pieces for when the temp drops at night.
