Off-site car rental: Where can family wait at MCO?

[MissingMickey]

We have rented a car from an off-site company for our upcoming trip. We have done this before and we didn't mind the shuttle. However, NOW we have a baby, stroller, and 2x the luggage.

Is there a place at MCO the family can wait while I go get the car? I know there must be a drop-off/pick-up area. Can anybody help? Have you done this before? Thanks. Leaving in less than a week!!!!!!

Have them wait in the arriving flights area for your airline, outside so they can see you and you can see them. This area is right outside the baggage pickup area.

Be sure to have your family waiting in a car area as opposed to a taxi area or a bus area. You may want to accompany them all the way to the waiting spot before going to the rental car counter. Also remember which side (A or B) you left your family at since both sides look somewhat alike.

be careful to make sure you are not in the bus/taxi/towncar area becuase you have to have a barcode on the side of your vechicle to get in there and it would be very dangerous to back out of there, you might be best off haveing your family wait outside the checkin counter as there is no restriction to get up there and they can wait outside for you there.

Good point, but, if you watch the signs you should have no problem selecting the correct place to be.
