Key Things to Remember After You Pick Up Your Rental Car at the Southwest Florida International Airport

1. Traffic drives on the right-hand side of the road throughout the United States.
2. Speed limits tend to be lower on the state highways in Lee County, where the Southwest Florida International Airport is located. You can expect most state highways to have a speed limit of 55 miles per hour (88 kilometers per hour) and most cities, towns, and interconnecting roads to have speed limits of 20 to 35 mph (32 to 56 km/h).
3. There are a number of tolled bridges in the larger Fort Myers area, including the Cape Coral Bridge, which costs $2 to cross when you cross it westbound. Be aware that numerous highways are tolled around all of Florida’s major cities as well. Ask your rental car company if your car is outfitted with a SunPass to save you time and money when using tolled roads or bridges.
