In Feb over Pres day weekend for a 9 day rental ran into same issue. First time @ CC center, surprised how easy of process & polite staff there. The free pickup shuttle worked fine for us from resort but only runs every hour.
You’d think they’d have made an exception to your Executive status due to your situation....especially, after your long-time standing.
I had given up on the solo day I needed pre cruise next Saturday until you suggested National. Cannot believe they are in area of $100 now vs the $37 for my res.
Luckily, did grab weekly alamo for 2nd week in May under $190 for midsize (AMEX+coupon) but rate may have been skewed since picking up @ Cape Canaveral.
It’s been a real struggle trying to find the rates we’ve all grown accustomed to in the past @ MCO.
Of the standard rental car suspects, only Budget has been a repeated dud. Defaulted to Thrifty several times over last year, each time a nearly new Car & no issues. They have upped their game out of MCO.
