Also, don't let anyone sell you on flying to Miami, renting a car and driving to Key West. The drive is beautiful, don't get me wrong. But parking in Key West is a disaster, and it's really only the last 45 minutes of the drive (Marathon to Key West) that's worth seeing from a car. Fly DIRECTLY INTO KEY WEST.

You'll thank me later ... especially when it comes time to fly home.

IMO this really depends on how many people are going. It will be cheaper to rent a car if say 4 people are splitting it as opposed to getting $100 tickets a piece from Miami to KW. If you're going by yourself it makes much more sense to just fly in though.

Parking is bad, but I just did 24 hr car rentals to KW, dropped it off at the airport and took a $15 cab ride to my hotel. Like I said before, it was way cheaper to do this between 4 people than each of us flying directly down there.
