I am travelling to the US soon. How can I go to Houston & get back from Miami without paying through the nose?

Question

Is there a website or agency specialised in that? Or what alternatives can I have? Basically, I want to land in Houston, drive from there to Miami and take my plane back to UK there. Is this possible without exploding my budget?
Detailed answers only please. I dont need a 'go ask a travel agency' kind of reply. Thank you all in advance!

Precision then: I want to fly to Houston and then fly back to the UK from Miami. Two different airports. I am renting a car to drive from Texas to Florida so no need to answer that bit. If I take 2 One-Way tickets, I am going to pay a lot, am I not?

Answer 1

A good idea would be to book a roundtrip flight between Houston and Orlando, then from Orlando you can use Greyhound or a private transportation company to Miami. That might be more economical, your biggest expense would be the flight but if you book early and look for special offers you might be able to land a good deal. And there are more airlines that service Orlando International then Miami (its really true) so you will have options of discount airlines that might offer good fares. In Orlando you can easily catch a Greyhound bus or find a good private transportation company in the Yellow Pages that can transport you to and from Miami at an affordable price. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Hi Cris,
No no, try & do what I did a while back.
Car deliveries.
I am not short of a few quid, but it was great fun to pick up a Chevy Blazer in Houston, to an address in downtown Miami, get paid all the petrol, and $500 on top.
I could have flown the distance, and been $500 out of pocket.
Great fun, but maybe I am just an old hippy.
