What would be the best way to get from Jacksonville to Tallahassee if I get off one of the Silvers in the former? Might also be starting from Orlando. Bus? Or just rent a car?
You can get a Megabus from Orlando to Tallahassee AFAIR. There is also a bit more expensive Red Coach. I am not aware of any bus service from JAX to Tallahassee.What would be the best way to get from Jacksonville to Tallahassee if I get off one of the Silvers in the former?

There is nothing very close to the Orlando station, but if you do not mind walking a couple of miles, there is an Enterprise on Colonial Drive. I believe they will pick you up at the Amtrak Station (weekdays only, I think).Thanks, does anyone know if there are car rental places near the Orlando and Jacksonville Amtrak depots.
I can attest to that Hertz location definitely serving the Amtrak station several years ago. You're also correct about the hours being an issue, since the drop-off at the station would have to be before their early closing - around 5 pm IIRC. This would leave a long wait for the northbound train (Star?) which was scheduled to arrive around 8 pm and was usually much later. With the upheaval in the car rental industry lately I'd certainly want to check its status.Yes, most off-airport locations will pick up within a few miles, but they are usually open only business hours M-F. There is a Hertz office in downtown Orlando that says they will pick up at locations within a 15-minute drive. Google says they're 8 minutes from the station.
