hello folks

 

is it a problem to catch a rentalcar post-cruise with a reserve from a travel agence because a lot of people coming of a cruise in a short period .

UPDATE ON THE 2 GAS STATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN GOUGING OUR VISITORS:

Sun Gas Express and Suncoast Energy's gas stations, that are both close to the airport, were found guilty of NOT posting their price per gallon on gas and if they keep refusing to post their prices in a visual site, the fine will be $250.00 a day - Their charges are $5.99 per gallon and you are not aware until you get to the pumps - There have been so many complains that these companies have been allowed to gouge our visitors for years and nothing had been done to stop them. Finally someone did something about these 2 stations - you can find a station just a few blocks up from them with reasonable prices so please be aware OK?

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!

Shirley are these the stations that require you to put your zip code in and if you aren't local they charge you a much higher rate? We had this happen a couple of years ago but cancelled the transaction when we -luckily- noticed the unbelievable per gallon rate. Thanks for putting the word out.

Its not bad might be a little busy but they do it almost every day!

These 2 companies have been gouging our visitors for years and they fought the city with tooth and nail against having to advertise their prices for gas - they have gone up as high at 7.99 a gal and noone would do anything about them - I know I called them several years ago to "protest" and the manager told me it was none of my business and if I kept up my "harssment", they would take action against me:( - one phone call created one angry manager - anyhow the city of Orlando will bring charges against those particular 2 if they do not display their prices where our visitors can see them BEFORE they enter their stations. Lets hope they take heed.

Hello Mapomp - right next door is Zackery's which is a mom and pop owned - Kelsey's pizza on the South side - if you will click right above my name, it will give you more information as to the places closes to the Radisson - not many choices, but they are nice and clean

[snelsonbrown]

I just thought to share this information with those that are interested in hair braiding - I went with my granddaughter to get her hair done and if I had been younger, I would be here at work today looking different - anyhow just a fleeing thought and Kim was great

Wow, these one way rental cars are brutal with the drop off fees. $75 is the least expensive I've seen for a two hour rental. Are the shared ride companies better?

Sorry to bother with a quick question. Am I understanding a previous post correctly, about tolls on Rt. 528 from MCO to Cape Canaveral? I think it says that there is only one toll stop, and that we can use cash to pay for the toll at the toll booth. I'd rather not pay the rental car company a surcharge for using the Easy Pass if I don't have to, you know?

 

Thanks in advance - and I've gotten lots of great help from this thread!

Just one toll of $1.25 so do NOT get the Easy Pass - don't need it and yes you can use cash - they prefer it:)

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And if they haven't changed the system since last October, take 4 quarters as the exact change/throw it in the hopper line was much shorter....we prob lost five minutes waiting in the not exact change line. Also be advised if you need to do any other exits around Orlando, some of the exit ramps are unmanned and you MUST have quarters.

I don't have a drop off charge with budget and didn't last year with avis

[croosieloosie]

They're all around the same price, $70 - $80 for an economy car, on a Sunday, a weekend rate.

I think some show the drop off fee and some have it worked into the price.

I used to rent a car from MCO to PC for under $40.

[Rochmom]

Hmm, that seems a little high. We're paying $54 from MCO to PC, picking up Friday eve, drop off Sat morning for a mid-size. Return trip is $67 for a mini van from PC to MCO, just a four hour or so rental period. Both of those prices are on-line, but NOT prepaid, with Budget.

 

Maybe the Sunday rates are higher?

Yeah, it does. I'm just going to go with a private car. I can get a round trip for $150 for up to 4 people. Same as the rental car, but don't have to pick up the car or deal with gas stations. I figure what we would spend on gas will go towards the gratuity.

I agree with Rochmom - we have a rental for right at 55 bucks (all in - tax, airport fees, etc) for our MCO to Port trip and 48 or so for the return the following Saturday.
