Fort Lauderdale made the handoff simple. I finished an audiobook, stretched out, and let the road take care of itself on the way south. No issues, and I would use them again.

We had a lovely day. The views during the drive were amazing, and once we arrived in Key West, we had enough time to explore at our own pace.
