I live in Daytona, and I work at one of the major hotels in the area. I can tell you that the hotels are always going to be expensive during this event and most hotels have minimum night stays as well. You would think that the farther you go from Daytona, the cheaper the rooms get. Not true, maybe a few dollars less, but not much. Your best bet, if you can, is rent a camper or rv, lots of people have turned to this form of lodging because it's so much more inexpensive than staying at a hotel. Or you can get a hotel with a few other people. Most hotel will give you 1 or 2 extra cots from $10-$15 more per night, but this is the best way to save on money.

If you like crowds and noise, stay on the beach. If you would rather rest after a long day, stay inland. There are lots of buses and cabs that you can take. Bus fare here is only a dollar and change. A cab to the beach will cost you about $15-$20. (They also spike the rates, so be careful) Or you can rent some scooters! Now, you have to be careful. There a lot of motorcycle deaths last year, so if you do rent a scooter or motorcycle, wear your helmet. It's not a law here, but it's better to be safe than sorry, especilly when there is so much cars and people. I hope I helped in some way! Good luck with your trip!
