? about car rental pickup/drop off times

[crazymama]

Hi! I am very inexperienced with car rentals. I plan to book a minivan from Dollar and am wondering about what times to plug into the reservation form. We arrive at MCO at 5:03 pm and depart again at 8:30 am. What time should I put down for pick up and drop off? I was thinking 5:30 pm and 6:30 am. Does that sound reasonable? If your flight is delayed do they hold your ressie? Thanks in advance for your rental advice!

That's as good as guess as any!

Reservations with car rentals are peculiar, they don't hold cars (because you don't make a deposit). But chances are they will not run out of cars even if your flight is late, unless you are arriving at a VERY busy time.
