Car Rental Question

[LynnTH]

We are planning on going to Disney next Feb/March and flying into MCO and driving to see my in-laws for a few days before coming to Disney. Thinking we are going to be staying at CSR (not sure yet). My question is - can we get a car rental at the airport for a few days and drop the car an Disney. If so, what car rental company does Disney have on site and is it at the hotels? Thanks.

There is Alamo and National. You might find that it is less expensive to keep the car for your whole trip vs a one way rental, although Alamo does have one way drop off/pick up at Disneyworld. It was still less expensive for us to use the discount codes at mousesavers.com and go with National for our whole trip.

National/Alamo has an office at the Car care center, right next to the Transportation Ticket Center, they also run shuttles to the resorts (they're for people picking up cars, but I bet they'd be willing to accomadate you). One of the other major rental companies (Dollar?) has a location at the Swan/Dolphin, other companies have desks at the various DTD hotels. One bit of good news, per Florida law they can't charge you a dropoff fee for returning at a different location than from where you rented. If you post this on the Transpo. board, you'll get a much better resonse.

We did a one-way rental in May with National. We picked it up at MCO and dropped it off at the Dolphin which was very convenient since we were staying at YC. Check out mousesavers.com and the threads on the Transportation board about car rentals. For example, there is a link you can use to join National's Emerald Club at no charge. Joining the Emerald Club makes the whole rental process very quick and easy. There are also several threads about codes you can use to reduce the cost of your rental.

Thanks for the info. I will check out the transportation thread.
