Rental Car Pickup

[MI_firefighter]

Has anyone rented from MCO lately? I just read a twitter post that said rental car pickup is only on the A side. This isn't the end of the world, but it could be a pain if your luggage comes out on the B side.

That makes no sense. One entire garage would need to be inaccessible https://orlandoairports.net/parking-transportation/parking/ and unless that tweeter is more informed on what's going on at MCO, they're talking out their patoot https://orlandoairports.net/parking-transportation/rental-cars/

Now, it's possible (likely?) that person didn't like the car selection on their side and chose to go to the other...

Only A side open for pick up/drop off.

That's where I saw it! Thanks for finding it for me.

No need for 2nd one as there are not many foreign tourists arriving to hire cars

Yes, it is, and yes, it is. We had to do that ourselves last week.

I think I saw somewhere that elevators at MCO are social-distanced to one family at a time. That might be a further inconvenience if your luggage is too much to manage on the escalators.

I've never understood why airports don't install Speedramps instead of escalators to make it easier to get about with baggage.

With fewer people there, it isn't that much of an issue.

Cost, maybe? RoI?

I can confirm from my WDW trip last week that the “A” side car rental/return is open and the “B” side is closed.

Yes. B side is closed. A side only for both pickup and returns. It has been that way since early April at least. (Probably before then but I rented in early April and again just last weeked July 17-19)
