I noticed there hasn't been a lot of movement for early December since I booked 6 months ago.
Has anyone ever booked a rental for just one day to avoid magical express? I got a one day rental from MCO and dropping off at Dolphin and it is $53 for a small SUV.
It depends. If you are going directly to the hotel with no stops you are better off taking an uber.Has anyone ever booked a rental for just one day to avoid magical express? I got a one day rental from MCO and dropping off at Dolphin and it is $53 for a small SUV.

It is really only worth the cost if you are going to make a pit stop at a grocery store for drinks/snacks/liquor and/or to grab something to eat.
You can go to the website for uber / lyft and get an estimate. You also won't have to deal with returning a vehicle or putting gas in it.Would it be cheaper than $53 for an Uber?
As long as you do an uber x, yes. Definitely cheaper. If memory serves correctly it was around $45 with tip last time we did it.Would it be cheaper than $53 for an Uber?
Think again. There’s a Hess right in that area. If not, your CC on file will likely be charged the higher rate for gas. Some of the rental car companies seem to be worse than others (dollar has dinged me).Honestly I doubt I will need to put any gas in to the car.

Your contract will indicate how much gas will cost you if they need to refill the tank. In the big scheme of things another $8 per gallon probablly won’t be a deal breaker for you worst case scenario but many are surprised but it happening.
Assume you have an rental with alamo or national if dropping at the dolphin. They’ve let me slide once in the past. Had filled up evening prior, drove to park on checkout day & completely forgot to top it off. Rental was linked to my account with them.
MCO to Dolphin is approx 21 miles, which could easily equate to a gallon of gas re a SUV. Driving to AK is another 14 miles RT, then any grocery side trip.
Additionally, the dolphin will charge you $25 to self park per day
PS we are coming in on BF too for a week. Thru alamo returning to dolphin, $245 for a standard after $25 coupon & APH code. Keep checking up to the end.
There’s been posts here & elsewhere of dollar requiring people to provide a gas receipt if they disagree with assessment of being charged for gas at return. Never had that issue with that company but we do fill up before heading back or on way to airport.
only a confirmed disney fan thinks like that. I tend to use dole whips as my exchange basis lolSaved another $8 on Budget. Down to $146. One more Mickey Bar for me!
