    Thrifty at MCO: counter or garage?

    I have asked this question before for other rental companies and now I am asking about your experiences with Thrifty at MCO. My rental is at the end of April at Thrifty is now hands down the best rate so far. Has anyone dealt with Thrifty recently? I have rented with them in the past and have...

    Dollar Express at MCO. Counter or garage?

    Can you give a few more details about the garage? Did they have your name on the board? Was there a board? There is no mention of the express feature when making a reservation on the website.

    Dollar Express at MCO. Counter or garage?

    Since my last time picking up Dollar at MCO I have read that Dollar no longer has the express feature where you can go right to the garage. I just booked a reservation for later this month and the website is all new. It no longer has the option to pick which credit card I have on file for the...

    Couple of Budget questions

    Turns out that the cheapest rental for me in mid January is Budget. I have been using Hertz or Alamo because of the ability to pick your own car and usually get an upgrade. So far Budget has been 20-30 dollars less than the other two using my AARP discount and Fastbreak. What I would like...

    Flying SW from PHL with connection in ATL

    Well if you look at SW flights from PHL to MCO, there are only one or two listed for the whole day. The one I mentioned and one that gets you in at 450pm. Same as my nonstop. Both leaving at 740am. So you see my problem BTW I fly midweek in January

    Flying SW from PHL with connection in ATL

    So I am booked nonstop at 230pm and get to MCO around 450pm. Or I can leave PHL at 740am and connect thru ATL and arrive at 1230pm. The only thing Im on the fence about is the connection time. There is only an hour between landing and departure. I know that there can be circumstances making...

    Possible Cyber Monday discounts

    I want to give my 2 cents. It seems that some of the airlines have some kind of BF promos. The best I have seen is $20 flights on Spirit as long as you dont have extra bags. I do have to say that I am extremely disappointed in southwest's lack of BF deals. I think they had some kind of deal...

    Hertz... Grrrr...

    If you are already a member and book directly on the website and you dont sign in right away, there are other opportunities to sign in as a member before you complete your reservation.

    Small SUV with Hertz. Can you stil pick from the gold aisle?

    Last time I used Hertz and MCO I reserved a standard SUV using my gold plus membership. For my upcoming trip next month the Small SUV class is cheaper than the standard SUV. Since this is only my second rental with Hertz, is there anyone here who has used them more and can tell me if I reserve...

    Recent Thrifty/Dollar MCO pickup experiences

    There could be alot of factors. My rental is from 10/1 to 10/10. That runs into Columbus Day so that is probably the main reason. However my Hertz rental dropped each day from last Friday until today and I went from 520 to 462 all in so I hope it keeps up until I leave. Alamo had nothing...

    Recent Thrifty/Dollar MCO pickup experiences

    Thanks for the effort. Unfortunately, I cannot afford Alamo's inflated prices and I assume alot of us here also cannot either. Im keeping my fingers crossed that I can still go right to the garage with my Hertz rental. The same class car I have is $200 more with Alamo

    Recent Thrifty/Dollar MCO pickup experiences

    Since Dollar is owned by the same company as Hertz and Thrifty, what will happen to them going straight to the garage. I have a Hertz rental next month and I sure as HELL wont wait at the counter if they pull this crap with Hertz.

    Question about Hertz Gold Plus with manager special

    I am using Hertz at MCO for the second time this year. After reading some positive reviews with going straight to the garage with your gold plus membership, I had a great experience when I picked up my car back in May. Being new to Hertz then, I reserved a standard size SUV and they sent me...

    I had the same problem with my rental for 5/31. Contacted Alamo, heard back and they wouldnt budge. The wouldn't honor the price. Nothing. I couldnt even cancel it myself. I had to reply back to tell them I am taking my business elsewhere and they didnt care. Doesnt matter I found the same...

    **May 2023 car rental**

    When you picked up your car, was your gold membership already established and had you already rented in the past? I just made a first time reservation and it told me that I was "standard counter". I thought that with the gold plus you could bypass the counter.

    Dollar manager special

    Looks like we will be using Dollar in a couple of weeks. The Managers Special is the least expensive with the hopes of getting an upgrade. Who here has rented that option and what car did you end up with? Our other options would be a compact SUV. Last time we rented that class and got a...
