National Car Rental Questions

[lsg1]

I have 2 questions about National Car Rental:

If we rent a car from MCO, but have DME...can our luggage go on the DME bus, while we go rent our car...
thinking this, cause we may not rent a car for the full time, and will fully use DME going home and return the car at the WDW car care center.

Other idea is if we pick up a car from WDW car care center(rather than from MCO after being there a few days) do they have Emerald Isle or Emerald REserve at car care center?(Not that important cause I can reserve a full size for price of economy with 2 model upgrade coupon).

At least one person must get on the bus with the luggage.

I am a little confused, but going TO Disney wdwfan1 is right. However, IF you are talking about renting a car once at Disney and sending your luggage BACK to the airport, then that may be possible. If you are flying on participating airlines then you can check your luggage at the resort and the luggage service takes care of it. (See stickey at top of board for details)

There is not an EA at the Car Care Center. Also there are TWO types of upgrade coupons. If your's is NOT a guranteed type and you are going during a busy season I would recommend renting the car size you need since they can and do sell out of cars.

No Emerald Isle at Car Center(or at the Dolphin) But why not just book ME back to airport. You can book it "one way"

How do I know if my coupon is a guranteed type? I printed it out from national's site with the BigTen conference and the W on it. It is coupon id 100009416.
It is an upgrade to a Full size, so I may just rent from the Car Care center and get the Full size, since I don't need a car right away, and then return it a day before we leave...we are going for 8 nights, but will only rent the car for 6 days...it will be cheaper.

Read the coupon fine print. It will tell you if it's "subject to availalbity" If it is, you aren't guaranteed.
