    What's anyone's experience with Budget?

    I have used them a couple of times....horribly slow service and long lines. Maybe it was just the time of day I happened to be there. They did try the hard sell on insurance, but I've experienced that with every rental company in Orlando.

    Any Canadians stay at Windsor Hills?

    I have stayed at both the Poly and Windsor Hills. There is definately something to be said about the feeling of staying at the Poly, but you pay for that. I stayed at Windsor Hills in a 3 bedroom condo 2 years ago, and we are going back again this March. We like staying in a condo. I wouldn't...

    Questions for veteran Ont. to Fl. drivers.

    I have done the drive many, many times. Take US 19, just don't speed. The police are mainly around the Summersville area where the limit drops and like to set up in the median at night. Savannah would be a real push for one day. We leave Orillia around 5:00 AM and stop in the...

    Detroit Traffic

    We are thinking about leaving for Florida next Thursday after dinner instead of 5:00 AM Friday morning. We would drive to Windsor, then leave from there Friday morning. Anyone know what kind of traffic we would hit along I75 if we crossed the bridge around 6:30 AM Friday morning?

    Sanford airport driving distances - ??

    It depends on the time of day. If you are arriving on a weekend or late at night I4 is probably fine. If you are arriving during the morning or evening rush hour period, take 417. It will cost you $4 or $5, but it has never been busy any time I have been on it. From Sanford to the 192 exit...

    Malls near airport????

    The Florida mall is only a couple of miles away. It is a big mall with Sears, JC Penny, etc. as anchor stores. I don't know that there are any 'deals' there, but it is a nice place to look around and kill some time.

    Westgate questions.... ?????

    I stayed at Westgate Lakes a couple of years ago taking the sales pitch/tour to get a good rate. During their sales pitch I told them that the place was nice, but I wasn't interested in buying. Although they have an answer to almost all of your reasons for not buying, I had one that they...

    Alamo

    Alamo has moved on-site. The counter is downstairs from the luggage claim area and the cars are in the parking garage. You will have your choice of cars in the aisle for the size that you rented.

    is there an intersection at 417 and 192??

    Get off at the Celebration exit. At the end of the off ramp, turn right. Go about 200 yards to the stop light (192), and turn left. Go West on 192 about 1/2 mile and turn right, into the resort.

    ez rent-a-car

    I tried to use them once. When I got to Orlando and called them to find out where to get the shuttle, they told me that they were out of cars. They would do nothing to help me, just said sorry. I ended up using Alamo at more money and was not very happy. I would suggest trying National...

    Hotels along I-77

    Don't worry, I have done this drive many times. There are lots of hotels. I leave the Toronto area around 5:30 AM and stop in Statesville, NC around 6:00 PM. There is a comfort inn with an indoor pool for the kids to tire themselves out in. I usually book ahead and get a decent rate...

    Which Highway in March

    When I have driven down in March I made my decision the night before we left. I checked the internet for weather forecasts at various places for the next day. My first choice for a route is I77, I79, I95 over the I75 route. I would check Erie, Pittsburg, Beckley and Statesville to decide...

    Tampa has a National Car Rental. They share the facility with Alamo. It is not in the airport, you need to take the shuttle to their depot.

    Any feedback on Summer Bay or Silver Lake?

    I stayed at Summer Bay last year and enjoyed it very much. It is located a couple of miles West of Orange Lake, near the intersection of Hwy 27 and 192. I have not stayed at Silver Lake, but I have stayed at Vistana, Orange Lake and Westgate. The units are all very similar regardless of...

    I had a bad experience with E Z and will never attempt to use them again. I called their office from the baggage claim to find out where to cacth their shuttle bus. The person at the office said they had no cars left. It was like the Seinfeld episode, they had a record of my reservation, but...

    ANy info on Summer Bay Resort?

    I stayed there on a RSG through skyauction this past October. We were in the newer part of the resort in a 2 bedroom unit. It was very nice and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. It was very similar to most other timeshares in the Orlando area that I have stayed in. A king bed in...

    AirTran Users

    We flew AirTran in October. I called 1-800-AIRTRAN a couple of days before our return trip and told the operator that I was in a resort without access to the internet. I told her that I was traveling with children and she reserved the seats for me. We still had to check in at the airport and...
