Am wondering what time everyone puts as their pick up time for their car rentals? Is it the time you arrive at MCO, a bit later etc? And what is the period of time in which you have to pick up your car? I found a great rate for December 16th to 27th for a mid-size SUV through Alamo. I am debating getting my brother in law to pick it up and putting him as the second driver as they arrive about 18 hours ahead of us, and it would save my FIL from having to pick them up at midnight. Then he could just come out and pick us up the next day and add me as a driver and change the credit card if needed. Anyway, the issue is that they get in at 11:40pm. I can get a great (IMO) rate of $289 through Alamo if I book it for 11:30pm on December 16th pickup. If I book midnight on the 17th or 12:30, then it jumps up to $800. I've actually only every rented a car once before ever and that was for a one day while in Orlando on our honeymoon 15 years ago so I'm not sure the protocol for this kind of thing. My other 2 options are a Premium Car through Budget from the 17th to 27th for $290 or a mid-size SUV through Dollar for $320. And both of those rental companies seem to have pretty dismal reviews.
