One of the most efficient ways to travel within Florida is by rental car. Another means of transportation is  Amtrak , which offers service from Miami to Orlando with stops in between, from Tampa to Jacksonville via Orlando with stops in between, and from Jacksonville to Pensacola with stops in between.  Amtrak’s Auto-Train , which can transport both you and your car, runs between Washington, D.C. and Sanford, Florida (north of Orlando). The frequency on Amtrak in Florida is much more limited than the train frequencies in Europe and the Northeastern United States, though some trains offer sleeping compartments and dining cars with waiters.  Greyhound  offers intercity bus service.  Red Coach  also offers bus service between major Florida cities.
