Alamo at WDW Dolphin?

[mzozzietj]

In my hunt for reasonable car rental rates I was comparing one way prices to pick up offsite and return to MCO. I found a website that mentioned alamo at the Dolphin. Figuring we could hop to epcot and exit the international gateway I booked it for the day after we arrive. After I started booking I realized the link was for the Alamo site for Canada. I could not find the location on the US site. The cost was significantly less so I went ahead and booked it since it wasn't prepaid.

Has anyone picked up a car at the dolphin recently? And does anyone have experience booking on a different site than the US site? I did get a confirmation email for the booking with a conf # but I can not look up that # in the app or website.

We have a short trip in Feb and are staying at the dolphin so I'll do some additional investigating but figured I'd ask here to see if others have encountered this. For comparison, booking alamo from MCO to MCO for the same dates (for our April trip) is almost $400 more than booking WDW Dolphin to MCO.

It is showing in US currency also, I did check that!

Do not take this as the absolute truth but pretty sure this location no longer exists after shutdowns during the pandemic.

I think it is still closed. You can pick up a car at the Disney car care center or there is a place on hotel plaza blvd I think

Thank you both!

Rentals at Dolphin have not yet returned, and there's been no rumors of it returning anytime soon.

I think it's related to staff and vehicle shortages but also the level of convention business at SwanDolphin too.

Thanks! I figured it was too good to be true
We'll be staying there for one night next week but I'll have my mom's car for this trip. April is the trip I'm struggling to find a good price for.

I rented from a Canadian site years ago without any problem. It was funny when my credit card company called one second after I completed the transaction inquiring if it was really me.
