Where on Disney property can you rent a car?

I know this info has been posted before but where can we rent a car on property and what rental companies are there?

We are using ME but wanted to rent a car for our resort to resort travel.

thanks

National and Alamo are at either the Swan or Dolphin. I think it's the Dolphin. They're right next to each other anyway. We've used them before and had no problems.

Dolphin and the Car Care Center.

Looks like you'll be at the Beach Club. If so, the Dolphin is your best bet. They have both Alamo and National. I rented there last month, using Alamo, and it was incredibly quick and easy. And, for you, it's just a 5 minute walk over there.

Great! thanks everyone...what would I do without these boards?

Dolphin and the Car Care Center.

I agree.

Do you have reservations for your rental - or just walk up???

Since the Dolphin is largely a convention hotel, they do alot of walk up rentals. I find I get the best rate if I make an online reservation with a BJs code, plus I have the peace-of-mind that if there's a run on cars, I have a reservation!!!

What's a BJs code? Do rates at the Dolphin compare favorably with rates if picking up at MCO?

I just rented a standard SUV (Chevy Trailblazer) from the Dolphin (National Car Rental) and it was $40 cheaper than it was at Orlando Airport, even with the "hotel concession fee recovery" charge!

I was pleasantly surprised

We are considering renting a car on property, too, but need to return it later than their business hours. Does anyone know how that's handled?

 

[kstinw19]

The Car Care Center is open until 8 p.m. M-F and 6 p.m. S/S. Don't know if this is late enough for you but might work. I bet you can pick it up at Dolphin and drop it back off at the CCC.

 

[jengelbrecht]

No, we'll need to return it after 10PM on Friday. Maybe I'll give them a call and see what the procedure is or if we can even do return it after hours.
Thanks though, for your help.

you can drop off at the dolphin 24 hours a day... you just give it to the valet and the paperwork arrives in your home mailbox about a week later... it's great and easy and convenient!

for resort to resort travel i would skip the hassle of renting at all and take taxis... all the deluxe resorts have them waiting out front and at the values and mods you just call and they can be there in five minutes...

Thanks gigi1313, that is the exact answer I was hoping for!
