0263
use an airport rental place like Dollar as they give you a car at the airport and you don’t have to go of site they are a bit more but it saves sooo much time (we have now done both and the airport was the best solution).
if you have a child requiring a child seat instead of paying say $10 a day to rent one go to Wal-Mart and buy one for $30-$40 dollars and bin it after use as it saves a lot of money (this was the tip given to us by the lady behind the counter at Dollar) you can then return the rented child seat within 24 hours and get a full refund.
if you rent one of them big vans remember they have a blind spot that I assume an American driver would not notice as they may be used to it again either take a blind spot mirror with you and stick it on or again Wal-Mart do them.
0263
if you are bringing your British satellite navigation system over with you make sure your Florida road maps are up to date don’t buy the older versions just to save money as the roads have changed rather a lot ( I have a navman gps with the 2004 maps installed and some of the roads don’t exist anymore).

Mary likes National because you can pick out a car and because you can [4]stack discounts which often results in the best price.
Mike preferes whichever on-site company has the best deal but tends to use National more than the rest.
Sue suggests if you need a car in the middle of your stay, Dollar has a rental counter at the Dolphin hotel and National & Alamo have offices at the Car Care Center because if you rent at the Disney property office, you don’t have to pay the airport fees.
If you would like book online a car at either the Dolphin or the Car Care Center, you’ll need to put in for the location “Lake Buena Vista”.
Sue likes the on-site car rentals because they will pick you up from your resort (or wherever you are) and bring you to the rental office.
