I have a question about car rental. I definitely plan on using Magical Express, but would like to have a car for 4 of our 8 days days we are in POFQ. Has anyone ever rented a car for pick up while on site? What companies to I have a choice of? What prices? Where do you pick up a car if you don't have a car? HELP
 
I can offer some info, but the seasoned people will have to fill in the rest. Last Jan. we stayed at YC for 3 days (with DH who was at business meeting) then transferred to POP. Getting a car was easy. I made the arrangements prior and got a shuttle from the hotel to the car place, which I think is outside of MK. (not sure though)

The shuttle dropped me off, then I got the car and drove back to hotel. When I was done with the car (when we transferred over to POP), I drove back and waited for a shuttle to take me back to POP. Overall, it was pretty simple. Hardest part was getting around by myself...took the senic routes a couple of times while looking for the Disney outlets!

I am not sure, but think it was Enterprise or National I used, but again am not sure.

On a side note...I just rented a car in Mass. using Avis. They now offer a GPS system for an extra $10 a day. I used it, since this was my first trip to Mass. It took getting used to, but it was worth the money. I suspect other car companies are offering this now too.

I hope this helps. If you search the car companies. whoever is there should show up under orlando. I believe the place is called the Car Care Center.
Peg :cool:
 
It's National that is at the car center, first right after exiting Magic Kingdom. I think you go through the gas station.

Inquire about renting there and returning to the airport, or renting at the airport and returning it there, if it costs less that way and also your schedule permits.
