Top tips for hiring a car in Orlando
- Roads in Orlando are generally catered to tourists, which makes navigation easy. Taxis in the city can get expensive and hotel shuttles to various parks can get crowded, depending on the season. If you plan to visit any of the parks or attractions, a hire car gives you the option of packing extra snacks, drinks, and other essentials without having to carry it on your person.
- Most major car hire companies are located on-site at Orlando International. They can all be found on the A-side and B-side of the Terminal on the Ground Transportation Level (Level 1). If you decide to use a car hire company that is not at the airport, most companies provide free shuttle transport from the airport to their off-site locations.
- You must have proof of insurance in order to drive legally in Florida. You can obtain insurance through the hire company, but, to ensure coverage, check with your personal insurance before traveling. When driving through rainy conditions, windshield wipers and headlights are required to be on. Seatbelts are mandatory and all children under the age of 5 are required to be in a federally approved car seat. Speeding fines are doubled in construction zones, so navigate with caution and be mindful of your speed.
- You can expect traffic delays during rush hour at 7:30-9:30 am and 4:30-6:30 pm. Toll roads are the best way to avoid delays. Most hire cars will already come equipped with a SunPass sticker so that you can move through the toll without stopping. If the hire company does not provide the pass, be prepared to have plenty of quarters ready for each toll booth.

Pros:
When I finally got to a staff member to fill out forms to get the car - she was efficent and friendly and wonderful to work with.Cons:
The line to pick up the rental car at 12:30 AM was long - the wait to get the paperwork was about 30 min. There were I think 4 or 5 people working which was good, but at 12:30 am its tough to wait a half hour for car pickup.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:
This was the easiest pick up and drop off for a rental car. The Rosen center rental has the best customer service!!6.0 Okay
May 2021
Pros:
STaff was fine; no people issues.Cons:
First care -- Toyota corrolla needed to go back because check engine light came on . Second car was a ?? Mitsubishi that had a very distinct engine miss around 40 mph. This was a car with 3,000 miles on it.10.0 Wonderful

Pick up poor. Couldnt skip the line though I pre registered, had the app, etc. agent wanted to charge me $480 when my agreement said §350. Gate departure took a long time. Everything got resolved but took a long time and was frustrating. Desk agent very friendly and helpful10.0 Wonderful

May 2021
Pros:
Staff lied to my face multiple times. Told me I was required to buy their insurance as well as their toll road pass. I pushed back for maybe 30 minutes saying it didn’t sound right and I didn’t want to. They wouldn’t let me finalize my paperwork without agreeing to it.Cons:
Go somewhere else. This place is a classic bait and switch. Low money up front to book rental, then they get you with all kind of fees and charges on the backend.6.0 Okay
May 2021
Cons:
Vehicle inside was dirty, did not have my type of vehicle so I was "upgraded", but the upgraded car was old and lacked features. I also was not shown a price breakdown that there is a fee to drop-off at a different location, so this was surprising to me.4.0 Mediocre
May 2021
Pros:
The car model was very economic with mileage/gas.Cons:
The front desk at pickup was terrible. Waited over an hour because their system had collapsed. They charged me over a hundred dollars over the quoted price on Kayak because the person claimed that even though I had chosen to use the insurance provided by my credit card specifically for car rentals, the “system” added the insurance coverage automatically and it was “take it or leave it” and after a 12 hour flight, customs, immigration a HOT shuttle to FOX and a a wait in line for over an hour, the choice presented by the rude customer “service” was just Insult added to Injury. Took the car for overpriced rental and an additional $200 deposit which is still to be refunded. Overall, I chose FOX over others for a supposed savings of around $80. Should have chosen another company. Just under a month before this rental, I rented from Alamo on sight at airport and they charged me what the website price was. Should have stuck with them but chose FOX for the $80 savings but at the end I paid over $200 more that I would have with other companies. Regret this experience probably like a tourist regrets picking up a girl in a shady Bangkok bar because at the end he doesn’t get what he expected and paid dearly for his mistake!!2.0 Poor

The whole pickup process was a disaster. It took almost an hour to complete. We will never rent from dollar again. A total lack of organization.

Pros:
Enterprise was fine; Kayak was misleading at best.Cons:
Enterprise was fine. Kayak was misleading. We ended up spending $75 in taxi fare getting to the Enterprise rental facility when what I booked was an ORLANDO AIRPORT pickup. Not Orlando city somewhere pickup. Super frustrating and had I known this, I would not have rented through Kayak. AND, six other people that very day complained to Enterprise about the exact same situation.Sixt
