Hi All

I am looking for the best rental price I can get on the following.

I need a car, mid-sized/intermediate or larger,
Dates: Pickup 23 October Drop off, 30 October
2 drivers, Unlimited miles
Not leaving the State, rental drop off is same as pickup

I have AAA, Costco, BJ's Club, Delta Skymiles account, AMEX, DISC, MC accounts, Jetblue Account

The only kicker is that we are looking for an easy rental pickup experience, i.e. car onsite at terminal at MCO, no shuttle ride. We have a toddler and don't want to try to juggle multiple bags and a kid and unattached car seat on a crazy shuttle bus ride. Also, I have seen some discrepency on what rentals are actually ONSITE at MCO terminals, not just the counter in the terminal, but the cars should be on-site. Any sort of online checkin, call-in checking, kiosk check-in, whatever keeps us from waiting in line with a kid would be desired, helpful.

At the official Orlando Internation Website, it indicates that all but HERTZ of the major rental companies are ONSITE.

However, in just browsing through on Orbitz, Hotwire etc, it shows Enterprise and sometimes Alamo as being off-site.

Also, this is in Florida, in non-prime time. Should I wait a few more weeks and keep an eye on last-minute deals?

Price to beat is Thrifty, quoted below. I got this by clicking on the Florida link on

Moderator Comment: This new list for requests is a bit more tailored toward cars.

Before posting your request, make sure to check out the codes in this thread, especially the original post. Then, look over the last 5 or 6 pages for code updates. If you have done that and tried at least 3 codes and/or companies, you’re ready to post your request.

1) Title should start with the word "REQUEST" (e.g. "REQUEST – Car Rental at LAX")
2) Dates you plan to travel. Being as specific as possible is a must. If times can be a little flexible, please indicate that.
3) Departure and Destination.
4) What you have found so far in your own research. Please make sure to have tried at least 3 different codes and/or companies. Please supply the rates you received with each code and/or company (This prevents duplication of research and is a great way to inform the community of what is out there!) — Sep. 21, 2009 @ 1:56pm

Alamo was formerly offsite but last moved into the terminal in the last few years (before April 2008)

Sign up for National "Emerald Aisle."
It is the best, book before arrival, walk to the aisle, choose any vehicle, get in and drive.
Return is also easy, drive in, they scan your vehicle, print your recent on the spot and your done.
