National - What are you seeing for Vans & SUVs

[Funwith4kids]

Making National EA Reserve ressie for either a mini van or Full size SUV. Online says Dodge Caravan (or similar) and Chevy Tahoe (or similar). What are you seeing for vans and large SUVs at MCO?

Are they the stripped down models? Also, are you seeing 3/4 bench, full bench, or bucket seats for middle row on both the vans and large SUVs (2 of the kids will need to sit in 3rd row)?

1st time National renter at MCO... Any tips or anything to know. Looking forward to go directly to reserve aisle to pick out vehicle. Any issues with not having vehicle reserved here?

TIA

We had a minivan last month. We had the town and country sto and go. There were also grand caravans too.

Just returned on 2/12, We had a Grand Caravan from National. It had about 100 miles on it. I love the fact that you can select your own car using National. We had 4 adults and 2 kids in booster seats and had plenty of room for bags.

Kids were in the last row. Middle seats were bucket..as opposed to bench. They were not overly stripped down. All power including side doors...not the hatch though.

National at MCO is easy. I waited 2 minutes at the counter before being helped. Walked across the street to the rental car area of the garage and the attendant showed us the row of minivans and we picked one out..picking up our boosters from the large pile on the way. Was on the road to WDW within 1 hour or the plane reaching the gate..including train to terminal, bathroom stops for everyone, waiting for luggage and car rental process. Not too bad.
