Ive read that Avis isnt there anymore. We have reservations at the Radisson Nov 7th. Whats the best way now to get back n forth to the airport?
 
You can still rent a car. But in the morning, take your family and your luggage over to the port and drop them off. That's a lot easier than shoving all that stuff along with other families' stuff into the hotel van. Then one person can return the car to the rental agency and that one person, without luggage, will have no problem returning in the rental car agency's van.

Sadly, no, with the departure of Avis to a new location down the street, there are no rental cars at the Radisson anymore. The nearest rental car agency is now Budget, which is about three blocks down the road.

I have an updated map (www.dcltribute.com/spacecoast) and rental car info page (www.dcltribute.com/carhire) at my web site (www.dcltribute.com).
 
I'm assuming Avis still has a shuttle from their new location to DCL. Is that correct? Thanks.

Woobie - I called Avis last week and they said that they still have the shuttle to the port.
 
We rented from Avis went we got off the Magic on Saturday. They had just moved to their new office on Friday. They are located about a mile down from the Radisson.
 
I was told that the AVIS location at the Radisson was too small and they needed more space for cars.

Their prices still seem to be higher than Budget for the Mini Van.

I'm told the Budget location is within eyesite of the radisson. So we will try that, plus the rates are lower. It really does not matter since we will do the drop off and one person will return to return the car. It was nice having dual shuttle options at the radisson. I did speak to the reservationist there at the radisson and was told that the they now has new very large shuttles and as an example for the 10/11 cruise I could book over the phone the shuttle for 10:30. Last January I was told you could not reserve the shuttle in advance, Prior to checkin, and when I did reserve at check in they were all full until 1:00.

FYI...
