Can Someone PLEASE Figure Out My Cruise Details???

[robind]

Last time we used Budget and dropped off at port and rented again after to return to wdw. We were happy with them and thought the shuttle was convenient. (for anyone planning on using this route!) Be careful though, they have an unusual refueling policy. Make sure you understand it, some people got stuck paying twice!

I've used Budget in many towns before without noticing anything different, what do they do that is unusual in Florida? I'm thinking of renting for a few days before my cruise in September.

Ok, someone needs to give me a heads up when there's a new thread where my expertise is needed



You can get transfers from the Dolphin to the port and back. You cannot get Magical Express to the Dolphin. The Dolphin does have an Alamo car rental location though.

You cannot get DCL transfers to the port any day but cruise day. So if you go a day prior to the port, you will have to use a towncar service or drive.



You called??



Dolphin only - this rate is not good at the Swan.



I'm staying at the Dolphin the night prior, but likely staying at DVC after because we'll be there 9 nights and I don't want to have to move from resort to resort after.

I'll be contacting you within the next couple days, Tracy. I think we are at least going to do the Dolphin before the trip. Probably not after, though.

I can't remember the exact details, but it was something like if you used less than a certain amount of miles they automatically charged you a minimum refuelling....if you had a receipt proving you already refuelled yourself they would remove the charge. If you were over the mileage amount the usual policy applied. (it was around the amount if you went from mco to port location direct)

It was the only time I had ever seen such a policy....my guess it is because of all of the one way rentals....but it was strange. They didn't tell us about it at MCO, there was a sign on the counter in the Port Canaveral location.
