Rental cars easy finder

We know from experience that car rental can, not only be a lengthy process, but can also cost you more if you leave it till you arrive at the airport.  

There are many different car rental companies to choose from at both Orlando International Airport (long haul) and Orlando Municipal Airport (short haul) and normally there are plenty of cars available - however, that is not to say that the size of car you require is available and you may have to take something that is larger than your requirements (with possible additional cost involved and lower MPG ratios.  

It is fair to say that high season periods are usually more difficult to secure the rental car of your choice than low season - but once again, from experience, we know that is not always so. 

Remember that once you arrive at the rental desks the respective companies KNOW that you NEED to rent a car in order to exit the airport and continue your journey to your holiday accommodation.

Picture the scenario, your plane has landed, you've waited for it to taxi to the unloading point, you've waited and been jostled in the queue to alight, you've waited to clear customs, you've made you way to the baggage claim carousel and waited for your bags to come round the seemingly endless conveyer belt and are now on your way to pick up your rental car.  

You now have to decide which car rental company to approach.  You can either use the phones and ring round the various companies or approach the individual companies desks to find out what they have available and their costs.  If you've arrived on a scheduled flight there are may people in the same position as you and the queues are invariably long.

YOU AND YOUR PARTY  have had a long journey are tired  have had enough of traveling  want to get out of the hustle and bustle need to relax and unwind THE CAR RENTAL COMPANIES  KNOW they have a captive customer who fits most or all of the above!

Result?  You have to spend time making a choice of rental company and car type - and make a comparison of pricing - all under pressure - and don't expect to get a "Special Deal" - their cars will be hired out no matter what - often out of sheer desperation and frustration by the customer - and remember there are more flights with more people wanting their cars than the one you've been on!
