Car rental at Disney vs airport

[let'sgo]

Would you get better rates using ME and renting a car at a location in DW? I'm trying to figure this out now and am clueless.

Maybe not.

Not trying to be a wise guy, its just that you won't know until you check for the dates/times you need the car. And even then, the results will be true only for the day you checked. The rental companies continuously adjust their rates as the see how many/few cars are rented during a period. In my experience, these fluctuate even more as you get closer to your date.

Fortunately, you can reserve a car now at the best rate you find and then if you see a better one, you can get the lower rate. Kind of puts you in the driver's seat.

Our last trip was a split trip starting on site. I looked (even had a resi) for a car to be picked up at the CCC. We ended up picking a full size from Alamo at the AP when we arrived and keeping it 4 days longer $100 cheaper than a shorter rental on property.

Like the PP said maybe maybe not, but my experience says the AP is cheaper.

BTW, the cost to pick up and drop off at the CCC and pick up at the CCC and drop off at the AP was the same.

right now I'm pricing rentals for our april trip. We'll need the car for 10 nights and we're looking at a mid-size suv.

From Alamo at the Orlando Int'l Airport we're at $830 including all taxes and fees, no discounts applied (yet)

From Alamo at the CCC we're at $423 including all taxes and fees, no discounts applied but we will probably do prepay to save 10%.
