Anyone had a Hertz rental thru Priceline?

I usually use one of my clubs accounts (Emerald Aisle, Quick Silver, or Hertz #1 Gold) to make my ressies, but this time since we are just renting for a couple of days, I did a Priceline deal and got Hertz. We've got a full-size car for the 2 1/2 days for $16/day + tax--reasonable rate.

Now I can't remember what Hertz @ MCO is like--I know we'll have to take a shuttle as it is off-airport, right? Is it outside of the baggage claim area, how long of ride, and then how long of a wait when we get to the rental area?

Does anyone know if my #1 gold card will get me any quicker service, even though my reservation is thru Priceline? We're arriving on Fri morning (9/15)-flight gets in @ 10 and we won't have any checked luggage.

I ask so that I can get my DS prepared on what the expect. He is used to waiting at the baggage claim with my DH while I grab the rental car and meet them outside with it. Because of his autism issues it is good to have somewhat of a plan to tell him ahead of time--TIA!

No you won't be able to use your #1 Gold. The bus is outside baggage claim. You might wait several minutes but they are usually very quick. I have gotten out of the lot in less than 10 mins.

Thanks safetymom, I know you post often about your good Hertz experiences, hope things go smoothly when we get there.
