Hi can anyone tell me how much it is to hire a stroller at disney or if there are any alternatives in the orlando area?
Also best place to hire a car.

Thanks x

For car hire, if it's not included in your package, you can try the usual car hire companies:- Hertz, Budget, Avis, Dollar. Alternatively, we have successfully used companies like: USRentacar and Holiday Autos. You really need to shop around to find the best prices.

Strollers can be rented at the parks - they are quite pricey, though.

You can get a 'Length of Stay' rental where you pay a one-off payment for the number of days rental that you need. When you visit a park, show your receipt at the stroller rental place and you will be directed through the queue with little or no wait.

From Allears: There is a slight discount when purchasing the Length of Stay rental ticket. The Length of Stay option is NOT offered during peak attendance times, however, such as Christmas.

Disney stroller rentals costs are:

$15 per day - single
$31.00 per day - double

Multi-day rate:

$13.00 per day - single
$27 per day - double

Another option is a stroller rental company www.orlandostrollerrentals.com although I haven't used them myself so can't vouch for how good/reliable they are and not sure about the costs - although I know they're significantly cheaper than Disney.

Are you staying in a villa? I know that many villas have strollers available for use while you are staying there.

A final option is to buy a cheap stroller at Walmart or other supermarket and use that during your stay.

Thanks for that I will check out the orlando stroller rental website. Last time we came we only had 1 child so brought a cheap wall-mart stroller but have 2 children now. My eldest is nearly 4 so may not need/want a pushchair.
We are staying at my Dads Villa which is in poinciana just off the 192. Will probably take our own but was looking at easier options to save carrying on the plane etc.
I also found Virgin cheapest for car rental at the moment which has surprised me but I shall keep looking incase there is anything cheaper.

Thanks again x

Another option for stroller rental is magicstroller run by the same peoples as Owners Locker and although we have used their strollers we love the service for our Owners Locker.

For Car rental if you post your dates, car size and price you have I will look for a cheaper deal, Virgin are rarely the cheapest but not unheard of.
Just book before you go, 2-3 times the price if you wait til you are out there.
