I have been quite happy with Choice Air (http://www.choiceair.co.uk/orlando-car/index.htm)

but you do have to speak to them and specify you want to use the Onsite company, as there cheapest prices are for the offsite ones, and its just not worth the hassle.

We generally get an Economy or Compact, and have had a Dodge Neon or equivalent which was quite comfortable for 2 adults and 1 child in a car seat.
For 3 adults you might want to look at an intermediate. I would definitely recommend 4 doors.

I think for 2 weeks with all insurance included and an additional driver and a tank of petrol, we have been quoted £330 for next June.

You can also try Florida Car Hire (http://www.floridacarhire.com/)

or Bon-Voyage (http://www.bon-voyage.co.uk/YourBestWayUSA/index.asp?target=Specials/start.asp?go=1&bmk=S000138)


Which airport are you flying into?
On Airport at MCO is Avis, Budget, Dollar, L&M, and National

Off Airport (meaning a shuttle bus ride is needed) there are tons more Click here for the list (http://www.orlandoairports.net:/goaa/ops/rac.htm)

at Sanford
On Airport is Avis, Alamo, Dollar and Hertz
Off Airport, Budget and Enterprise.

Hope that helps,

Bev

I'd agree on an intermediate as a minimum. With a small child you need a fair amount of space for kiddies gear that if anything means you need more space than 4 adults. I've used Autos abroad and Holiday autos before and both are pretty good value

We hired an intermediate for our trip just gone for 2 adults and our 22mth DS in a car seat.Loads of room and would still be comfortable for another adult but definitely dont get any smaller if only for the luggage space.

We hired through holiday autos using Alamo, short bus trip off-site and it cost us £450 all in for 3 weeks,the car was a Mitsubishi Galant 4 door too give some idea of size.
