Well, given the reduced park hours, I broke down and rented a car from the Avis at the Hilton. I have to pick it up at 9 am. My question is what is the best way to get from POR to the Hilton?

Do I take the bus to DD and then walk to the Hilton? Would the boats be quicker? What time do they start the bus/boat to DD? Or would I just be better off to call a cab?

My flight arrives at MCO too late to rent a car from there so I have to get from POR to the Hilton to pick this car up.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Avis at MCO is open 24/7. You can pick up your car whenever your flight arrives.

hmmm.....this is interesting as most sites I checked for the car said that the rental agencies closed at 11 pm at MCO...

I'd call Avis and recheck. I know that most of the airlines are cutting their first and last flights of the day, so maybe there are no arrivals in Orlando after 11:00pm.

However, it seems like most of the rental car agencies will stay open until at least 30 minutes after the last flight has landed to accomodate psgrs.

Hi LucyStorm

I just checked www.avis.com and the MCO location is open 24 hours. Maybe you can switch your ressie over to the airport!:D

Sorry LucyStorm-

I am furloughed until at least Jan 31! Then, hopefully, I'll be back in the skies!!
