I just returned from a 4 night trip at the Grand Floridian DVC Villas. My son and I needed to drive to Fort Lauderdale for a visit with family and our return flight from FLL.
I explored all car rental options - as we normally rent from Hertz. I would have 1) taken the Magical Express to MCO to rent a car, 2) used UBER to take me off-site to the nearest Hertz rental office or 3) rent from inside the WDW property.
Surprisingly all options were priced at about $66 per day.
I opted for option 3 and it was a great experience. Shades of Green is a lovely walk - all paved - .7 miles from the DVC Villas at the Grand Floridian. It is literally across the road from the Polynesian!
About 2 weeks before my trip I rechecked the prices and I was thrilled to see the rates had dropped by 50%. I immediately cancelled my original reservation and rebooked at $33/day with a one-way drop off at FLL Airport.
I love to walk and enjoyed the path to Shades of Green. In addition, their coffee shop sells Starbucks coffee.
