Kssafrg Posted July 26, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2014 A few years ago we flew into a FL city, (Miami ?) and rented a car at the airport. I had read that you should rent the cheapest car they have usually the compact, because they don't have them in stock, and they upgrade you for free. When we arrived they tried every trick in the book to upsell us but I was firm. Finally he gave up and gave me the papers and said go downstairs. When we got to the area to pick up the car we handed the paper work to the guy and didn't know what to expect and were told "pick any car"... ANY CAR? Yep!! So we had a minivan for the week. It didn't matter what you reserved, you got to take what you wanted when you got there. So, we are trying to find this company again. Has anyone else had this experience?

Tropicalgal2 Posted July 29, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) I remember adds for National Rental where you can "pick any car" on the lot! I would be interested in any answers too. We are looking for transportation from MCO to PC. :) Any help with company and prices would be GREAT. Anyone know how much the tolls are from MCO to PC?

Don't remember the tolls exactly, but I believe there are 3 or 4 toll booths and the total is around $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will cost you $2 and there are two toll plazas @$1 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcruiser Posted July 29, 2014 #5 Share Posted July 29, 2014 National offers this option, along with the same for its Emerald Club Members. Alamo also offers the same via the Lock, Low and Go rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't figure out why they added second toll booth but kept the goal $2. :confused: maybe locals get a break that way Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted July 30, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Don't do the smallest .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjcruiser Posted July 31, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Don't do the smallest .... I agree, don't do the smallest. If you look at the different cars, the compact and economy are often the same size, and the difference between a compact and a full size car is often only a few dollars ($2-$5) difference per day. You can even catch specials on a car rental website (via a code or coupon), where you can get a 1-2 level upgrade for free.
