Once you've arrived in Orlando you still need to get to your going. If you've arrived at the Orlando International Airport, you'll find plenty of rental cars, taxis, limo and shuttles that will happily provide transportation o your resort.
Car-rental companies located right within the airport include:
-Alamo
-Avis
-Budget
-Dollar
-National
The advantage of renting with a company located right at the airport is strictly convenience. It is only a short walk to the rental counters to finalize your rental agreement and another short walk to your car once the paperwork is completed. Because the rental cars are kept right in the parking garage across from the terminal, you can easily haul your luggage right to your car or pick up the car and drive it back around to pick up your family and luggage curbside.
Car-rental companies located outside the airport include:
-Enterprise
-Hertz
-Thrifty
If you’re renting with any of these rental-car companies, you may save a few more dollars, but you’ll find yourself having to hop a shuttle (free of charge) to get to the offsite location. The obvious disadvantage of an off-site rental is that you’ll have to haul all of your luggage, as well as your family, onto the shuttle, and then haul everyone and everything all off again, to then wait in line to finalize your rental agreement before getting your vehicle. The other disadvantage to off-site rentals is the added time required to return the vehicle prior to your departure, as you will have to not only return the vehicle but also pack up the luggage and the family to get onto the shuttle, ride to the airport, and then get everyone and everything off the shuttle before heading to the airline counter. Please note that there are other car rental companies located both on-site and off in addition to the major companies listed above.
Limos, taxis, and shuttles are also available if you’re in need of transport but aren’t planning to rent a car while you’re there. They can be found on level 1 at the Orlando airport. Some of the better transportation companies in the area include the following:
