One way car rental - Miami to New York..
Discussion
I looked at doing New York to Orlando.
Nearly whatever way it was going to cost a lot more than flying and include 3 days of driving non-stop.
The only way around it was to drive there and back - but then that's 6 days of driving.
We're flying using a multi-stop ticket from ebookers which means it has cost us £60 than the UK return flights.
No brainer.

Doesn't sound like the OP is thinking about this as an economy measure though.
Sadly, you will take a thump in the wallet for an out-of-state one way rental, but the up-side is that you can make this a fun road trip with a carefully selected route.
Logical arterial routes out of FL are I-95 east coast, which accesses St Augustine FL and Savannah GA or I-75 via Everglades, Gulf coast and centrally north toward Atlanta GA.From ATL I would head north to Knoxville TN, via Chattanooga - then Deals Gap and Asheville NC to Blue Ridge Parkway north east up the Appalachian chain toward DC, Philly and NYC. A very agreeable trip if done at the right time of year.

Buy an old Camero and drive it north?

Sell it when you get to NY, not sure what you would have to do about insurance etc though.

What CDP code are you using for that? That seems very cheap for Hertz one way.Hertz Car Hire, 17th May- 17th June

I used this crowd about 13 years ago to drive from NY to Chicago, http://www.autodriveaway.com/driver, and helpfully they didn't rip off. I did it in 2 legs, and got to see some interesting out of the way places.
I did the trip in the other direction although the starting point was in Newark and went via PA, DC ( both work) and the end point in Orlando.
Some similarities between the route and that suggested by Matt Harper. A combination of coastal and parks with a bit of DC sightseeing after work completed.
Off the interstates and onto normal roads it can be enjoyable but hell it's a long drive. The last drag into Orlando was exactly that.
