Can someone give me a definitive list of all the locations and which companies are represented at each? Where will I find the greatest selection of vehicles from which to choose?
Do you mean which companies are on site at MCO? they are right in the terminal and you walk across a small street to the multi-level garage. Some companies have programs where you don't have to check in at the counter 1st, you can go straight to the car area and pick your own.
The companies that are onsite are: Avis
National Alamo Budget
Dollar
L & M
Those that are off-site provide a shuttle to their office where you can check in and get the car. Big companies I can think of now are Hertz and Thrifty. I never used either since we prefer to stick to the onsite vendors.
We've used all except L & M and Avis and they were all fine for us but other disers have plenty of stories to tell.
good luck
Companies that serve Orlando International but with off-site locations accessed via shuttle from the Ground Transportation level (Level 1) are:
Accessible Minivan Rental
Advantage/Eagle
Anchor Auto Rental
Bargain Car Rental
Best Rate Car Rental
Carl's Rent A Van Enterprise Rent-A-Car
E-Z Rent-A-Car
Florida/Continental
Hertz Car Rental
Ideal Rent A Car
Orlando Rental Car
Payless Car Rental
Sunshine Rent A Car
Thrifty
USA Car Rental
U-Save Auto Rental
I use Dollar as my first choice and Budget as my second, both are on-site, and have never had a problem with either. I wouldn't hesitate to use Avis, National or Hertz (though I prefer to use on-site companies, so Hertz would be a stretch for my preferences).
No, apologies - I didn't make myself at all clear. We normally pick up at MCO, but we've decided not to rent a car for the WDW part of our stay this time. We want to pick up a car onsite at WDW on the day we check out.

I could easily be wrong, but I believe that the on property rental car vendors are limited to Alamo and National (these companies are under joint corporate ownership). They are located at the Dolphin Hotel and at the Ticket and Transportation Center over by the Magic Kingdom.
