Any car rental return locations within Disney?

[Jeanne B]

I'm in the middle of making a spur of the moment "mini" vacation to WDW over Memorial weekend and we're thinking of renting a car on Saturday and returning it on Sunday after we check in at All Star Music...it would be simplest to return it within the Disney resort area but I don't know if any of the car rental agencies have locations within Disney. I would do ME but there's no availability at the value/moderate resorts Saturday so we would have to spend Saturday night at an off-Disney property and return the car the next day (in order to use ME you have to be flying in the day of check-in, right?). Our other option is to fly down Sunday instead of Saturday and use ME but I don't want it to be TOO mini of a vacation. We've had what seems to be nothing but rain here for a month and I can't stand it any longer...found a good rate on SW to MCO and I just couldn't resist (twist my arm!!). Now I just have to hope for sunshine during the 4 days we'll be in Florida!!.

National and Alamo are located at the Car Care Center outside of the MK parking lot. National also has a desk at the Dolphin. They will shuttle you back to the resort after drop off.

I believe Budget has a desk at one of the DTD hotels, but I am not sure on that.

Duds- Thanks for the info. After a little research I found the Budget location that's at DTD...it's at the Doubletree.

Can you rent a car at MCO for a one-way to the resort area, drive yourself, drop off at one of the above mentioned locations and be done? Also, can you do the reverse...rent one at the above mentioned locations and drive to MCO, drop off there and be done?

Just curious with all the nightmare stories of ME...not sure if things will be smoothed out for our 6/1 trip.

Thanks!

I reserved a car from Alamo to be picked up and dropped off at the Dolphin. I got cold feet a couple of weeks ago and also reserved one through Alamo picking up and dropping off at MCO, just in case ME is still experiencing issues in June. I'll cancel one the week before (or sooner if the ME reports become more favorable) our trip.

I reserved a car for pick up at MCO to drive us to Pop and then to return to Budget at Doubletree in DTD the next day - Will this work? Will there be transportation back to Pop from Budget in DTD? Help! This is our first trip and we are trying to avoid the Magical Express madness on our trip May 11th - WEDNESDAY!!!

Avis has a drop off at the Hilton across from Downtown Disney.

You might have to take the WDW bus from DTD to the transportation center to catch a bus back to Pop (a bit time consuming) but you won't be stranded. Budget might offer to shuttle you back to Pop, you could e-mail them and ask if that is possible. Otherwise, I can't believe a taxi would run you that much.
