I rented a compact from Enterprise (MCO pickup and return) for Friday, December 5th through Saturday, December 13th. No codes or anything -- just punched in the dates on their website to see what turned up. I was delighted to get a quote of $137.02, and yes, this does include taxes and a "privilege fee recovery charge" (what's that, anyhow?). Based on my printout, it looks like they charged $84 for the week and $17 for the extra day. This seems like a great rate to me -- Budget was about $195 total, even with a discount code -- so I thought maybe someone else going the same time might be able to use it.
I like Budget, because I'm a member of their Fastbreak program and it's right at the airport, but for the $60 difference I'm willing to take a shuttle and maybe wait in line for a bit. The one thing I'm worried about is that my flight gets in at 9:30 p.m. and Enterprise closes at 11:00 p.m. -- if we're on time, everything is groovy, but if the flight is running late, I guess I'll be spending the night at the airport so I can pick up the car in the morning. And I have a prepaid (hotwire) reservation at Wyndam on International Drive ($33!) that night that I either use or lose. So I'm hoping for clear skies and no engine problems.
