advice on rental car scenario?

[connorsmom911]

Hoping to get some help with a tricky car rental scenario...we are arriving Apr 29 for 3 nights, staying at ASMo and taking ME from the airport. On May 2, my parents and sister are driving over from Daytona Beach where they are staying, joining us at Epcot for the day, then we are all travelling back to Daytona for 2 nights, then Dh, Ds and I are being dropped off at the Hampton Inn Orlando Airport for one night before our flight home on Fri, May 5. (This works out great as my sisters fiance is flying in Thurs night to join the family for their remaining week in Florida, so we're being dropped off when they pick him up).

Now, the problem arises that my father is concerned about being able to fit all of us and our luggage in the van for the trip from WDW to Daytona and back. We will have 3 backpacks, stroller, carseat, at least 3 suitcases and 6 people. Dad thinks we should rent a car from WDW on the Tuesday, meet them at Epcot and then keep the car for Daytona in case we want to venture out on our own and then drive ourselves to Orlando and drop the car off at the airport either Thurs night or Fri morning when we fly out.

So, which car rental companies have location at WDW and MCO, would pick us up at ASMo? Best rates? Advice? We will be looking for full-size for the 3 of us. Not much time I know...any help?

TIA

You can rent from Alamo/National at the Car Care Center, which i believe their is transportation to it. If not you can go to the Dolphin/Swan and rent there. You may want to consider renting a car from the get go. It may be cheaper instead of dropping off at a different location and a lot easier for you. I always rent a car and drive tot he parks, i like it better than waiting for the bus.

Alamo always has great rates and you can cancel at anytime so if you find a better rate try again. Check out Mousesavers.com for Rental discounts...
