Dana Russian: The car rental company needs to make a positive identification of who is renting the vehicle. The next thing you need to have is insurance. A lot of car rental agencies do not offer liability. The other thing to think about is your payment. You need to bring plastic, not paper. This is because Car rental agencies do not accep! t cash as a rule. Read http://econoautorent.com/econo-auto-rent/what-to-b...
Ollie Desalvo: If you are going to stay on Disney property you will not need to rent a car because Disney provides free transportation throughout the Walt Disney World resort. Additionally, if you are flying in to Orlando Int'l Airport (MCO) and staying on Disney property you can use Disney's free airport shuttle.If you are staying off-site or plan to go off Disney property then make sure that your insurance will cover a rental car otherwise you might want to take the rental company's coverage. Also plan in advance if you want to pay for gas or refill before returning it etc. Additionally, don't overspend on a car you don't need. Of course a convertible is more fun than a compact, but a compact will fit 4 adults and is about half the price....Show more
Lilli Kochel: When renting a car there are 4 things to think about Price/rate , Type of car you need for your family & luggage etc.,! how gasoline is handled and insurance.Rates are normally quot! ed on either a daily or weekly basis. Most of the companies will have their weekly rate equal to about five and a half days rental. The advertised rates are normally for a subcompact; the bigger the car the more you will pay.When reserving a car ask for discounts. Membership in many organizations, such as AAA, AARP, Airline frequent flyer clubs, Entertainment Book members, or many other types of organizations have discount agreements with the rental companies. Check with your employer, many companies have negotiated rates and allow their employees to use those rates when on personal travel. If you are a government employee, let the car rental company know, but also tell them that you are NOT on official business.The companies define their cars fairly similarly, compact/economy, standard full-size, Mini Vans/SUV, Luxury, Green , and convertibles. You need to select a model that will fit your family needs. If you need car seats or booster seats for kids you may have to rent ! them or bring them with you ask ahead of time in order to plan. Ask about the models available and there features you will pay a premium for navigation systems etc. All car rentals in Florida are subject to the Florida 6% Sales Tax. They are also subject to the state's soak the visitor "Road Impact Fee" of $2.05 per day. If you go to a company that does not have its counter in the Terminal Building and which provides a shuttle to its lot you will have to pay an "airport access fee" of 8.64% of the rental fee, no matter how long you use the car. If you do rent from a company in the terminal, there is a 10% add-on fee charged by the Airport Authority. This may be waived under certain circumstances. Note that the 8.64% or 10% surcharges are subject to the 6% sales tax. It is best when getting a price quoted you ask for the total cost for the rental to include all taxes and surcharges.There are three ways gasoline is handled; be careful and ask when you get the rental.The faire! st way is to receive the car with the tank full and agree to return it ! with the tank full. If you buy gas within 20 or 30 miles before turning the car in the tank will register full and you will not have to pay anything. (Note - Beware of the prices at the Exxon stations on WDW or in Lake Buena Vista; they are about 20 cents per gallon higher than a few miles away.) HOWEVER, if the tank is not full they will charge an exorbitant amount based on either what it takes to fill the tank or a per-mile charge.The next way is the tank is not full when you receive the car and they don't care how much gas is in it when you get back. This is especially true with the smaller rental companies. The downside to this is you do not know, when you put gas in, how much to buy.The worst way is the offer for you to prepay for a tank of gas. They will charge you for the number of gallons of the full capacity of the tank (starting at zero) at approximately the average gas price for the area. You will get the car with a full tank and they don't care where the tank is! when you bring it back. However, unless it is just running on fumes when you bring it back you wasting a lot of cash.For insurance there are several types the companies sell. All are based on an amount PER DAY with no discount for weekly or longer rentals. These include Collision (or Loss) Damage Waiver (CDW or LDW), Personal Accident Insurance (PAI), and Personal Effects Coverage (PEC). Some companies may have some others I don't know about.If you live in the United States and you own a car and have what is normally referred to as a "Standard Family Automobile Policy" you are covered for a "temporary substitute automobile" (meaning a rental car) for up to 30 consecutive days as if you were using your own car without having to notify the insurance company. Check with you Insurance Agent or Company before your trip, to verify that you do actually have this coverage. If you live in Canada you might also have this coverage; it does not hurt to check.In addition, if you use a ! gold (or higher) major credit card (American Express, Visa, MasterCard)! for the rental the credit card company will provide several of the coverages (including CDW/LDW) at no cost to you. Before you rely on this, check with the card issuer to see what coverage they will provide. Note many credit cards from outside the US may provide coverage, again check with your card issuer.CDW/LDW covers any damage to the car (as well as loss of rental income to the company while it is out of service) which is due to your fault or negligence. Note that if you have collision insurance on your regular car your insurance company would cover the costs subject to any deductible amounts you have with them. If you do not have insurance but use a premium credit...Show more
