Question about rental car and late arrival

[sdoll]

We are arriving at 10:55pm. Will I be stuck paying for a whole day if pick up a car before midnight? Or are we better to schedule a midnight pick up and wait a little?

Your rental time goes by 24 hour increments, one day = 24 hours.
So waiting won't matter, as long as you return the car within your 24 hr increment. It its a week rental, it goes from 10:55PM day 1 to 10:55PM day 7.

You can easily confirm that by going to your rental companies website and entering both options, and see if they quote you different prices, which I don't think will happen.

Also, if you are renting for a week..... it won't depend if it is 5, 6, or 7 days..... most rental companies charge a weekly rate starting at 5 days..... it is best to check your rental companies site before hand...... try a practice booking using a few different pick up times to see what happens...

Enjoy.

You don't want to pick up a car too close to office closing time because you won't be able to report a problem or minor damage prior to driving off.

Consider staying at an airport area hotel that night and leaving for Disney (and picking up the car and beginning your resort stay) the next morning.

Many MCO car rental companies are 24 hours. They include National, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, and Hertz. Enterprise listed 6am to midnight and Thrifty didn't have hours listed.

So, if OP uses one of the majority of the rental companies at MCO, pick up time does not matter....
