Yes, say no to Alamo, the offical rip off car company of WDW. Having rented more than 100 times for business and pleasure, I have never encountered a worse location than the MCO Alamo location. Never again will I rent from Alamo.......
I know they moved offsite in Tampa, but, I am not sure about Orlando.Why (and when) did National move off site? Is it cheaper for them? That was their big advantage!

Also, your rental fees will include a fee for using the shuttle bus (like you have a choice).
It's nice that someone has rented from Alamo and never had a problem. Not everyone is so lucky.Originally posted by GAIL HAYDEN
Alamo is about a 5-7 minute ride away from the airport. I have used them quite a few times and have never had a problem. We joined Quicksilver and rental is a very easy experience. We usually get a free upgrade with QS.
Naturally, I would prefer onsite, but, if it is a significant savings (which it has not been lately) I will hop the shuttle.
Your onsite rental will include an airport fee also, so, this is something of a moot point. And....you do have a choice, you can take a taxi at which point they will refund the shuttle fee. All offsite rentals have this shuttle fee.
believe the ONLY reason Alamo is now the "Official Rental Car of WDW" is that they merged with National.
I believe the ONLY reason Alamo is now the "Official Rental Car of WDW" is that they merged with National. I don't believe that in my worst nightmare and on his worst day ever Ei$ner would willingly affiliate the Disney name with Alamo. That's the equilvalent of putting a pearl necklace on a pig!
