Same - 25 years minimum, m/cycle 'endorsement' on your UK license and - erm, not cheap.
Riding a bike in Orlando is a high-risk activity, what with all the tourons and 95 year-old blue-haired old crones in 2 ton ghetto-sleds, who can't see over the dash.
I hardly ever ride my bike anymore. It's too bloody dangerous (and none of the roads have bends in them).

You don't have to be 25 to hire a car in florida the minimum age over there is 21 (in New York in is 18 IIRC). You are, however subject to a young drivers charge of $25 per day (depenant on who you hire from) We hired from 'Car Hire 3000' which sounded so dodgy and was so cheap we expected them to laugh in our faces when we turned up to pick up the car, however it was great. We hired a soft top chrysler cruiser and had a great time!

Edited to say this was a couple of years ago and I was 23 at the time.

I'm 22 and I hired a Mustang over there for 10 days for $800, so you don't have to be 25, but if your not you are going to charged more!
