I have a midsize car rented for our trip. It ended up to be 264. out the door. Which is 7.00 more than my dollar quote but a bigger car.
1st. Orlando has no midsize car lane to pick from right? I will be picking from the Full size lot?
2nd? I did express check out. I added my husbands info. He will be riding on ME with the girls for luggage purposes. Will he need to show is license at the counter too? Or are we all good, because I have him pre done?
3rd? What has been ini the full size lot lately? I have had luck in the past and scored a minivan. I am doubting to get a minivan again. THe holiday weekend will be approaching and I am sure they have lots of minivans on order.
 
There's no standard aisle, so if you rent a standard size car, you would choose from full size. There is a mid size aisle, so if that's what you booked, then that's where you choose from.

I'm not sure on your second question.

If he is the second driver, then he will need to show his license.

Have you considered renting from the Car Care Center and having them deliver the car to your resort?
 
I should clarify. I am getting an free upgrade. That puts me into intermediate, that should auto put me in full size?

Yes, I would love to rent from the car care center! But the prices are over 200 more:eek:! Talk about sticker shock!

I have tried to rent close to WDW, nothing has even came close to what MCO has to offer as far as prices…..

no, intermediate = midsize. only standard selection works for the full size upgrade booking Alamo @ MCO.

The CCC does not deliver the vehicle to the resort. Alamo will pick you up at the resort and take you to the CCC.

I think there is a misunderstanding. If I understand this correctly, the OP has a reservation for a Mid-Size vehicle at MCO which includes a code for a free upgrade to the next car class. The next car class available through Alamo is Standard, however MCO does not offer Standard cars. With that in mind, the upgrade from Mid-Size that should be available is to Full Size.

could be, I interpreted that the free upgrade put her into midsize (from initially booking a compact).

OP come back & clarify;)
 
Either way that rate seems high. Make sure you keep an eye on it and rebook when it drops.
 
Sorry it took awhile to post back. I ended up changing my reservation and it dropped to 246.00 out the door. For Midsize. I do not have an upgrade coupon for the 20.00 cheaper. But if I am understanding everyone. Mid size and intermediate are the same. Alamo at MCO does not have midsize or intermediate, thus I will get full size by default. Maybe I am misunderstanding. At this point I will be happy with 4 wheels and it holds 5 people. I got very lucky in the past and scored a minivan on Alamo full size lot in 2012. Maybe I can get pixie dust again.

I am not sure why you keep saying Alamo does not have a midsize aisle As others have pointed out in this thread that is not the case They have a midsize aisle

They do not have a standard aisle, but that does not impact you You will be selecting from the midsize aisle where the odds of a minivan are slim
