Orlando has become synonymous with vacation. Due to the presence of Sea World, Universal Resort and Disney World, Orlando is the 3rd most visited city in the United States. It is also a very popular destination for snowbirds that live there during the winter months between October and April – making it a prime consideration for auto transport companies like Budget Auto Shipping. The greater Orlando area has an estimated population of 2,082,628 while the main city area hosts a population around 230,519 ranking it 5th in Florida in terms of population.
The hurricane risk in Orlando is much lower than Florida cities such as Miami and Fort Lauderdale but there is still a risk of local hurricane effects for auto shippers, particularly during the rainy season between June and September. Flooding is of primary concern for auto shippers as Orlando experiences an average of 48.35 inches of rain each year. From East to West, Orlando is accessible primarily by Highway 408. From the North and South, Orlando is accessed by auto shippers typically on Highway 15. Few residential areas are restricted to haulers used by auto transport companies making door to door services a frequent option for long term visitors.
