Car Rental in Orlando Airport

Just landed at Orlando International Airport and need a car? Good news — renting one at MCO is quick and easy. It’s the best way to get around and explore Orlando (and wherever else you're headed) on your own time. Whether you’re making a beeline for Disney, checking out Universal, or just want the freedom to explore without depending on Uber or Lyft, having your own ride makes everything simpler.

Before you head to the rental counter, make sure you’ve got the essentials. You need to be at least 21 years old and have a clean driving record — that goes for any additional drivers too. You’ll also need a major credit or debit card in your name and a return flight booked. If you're between 21 and 24, be prepared for an extra fee (a young driver surcharge), which varies by company.

Dropping off your car is just as easy as picking it up. Follow the signs to A-Side Rental Car Returns at the airport. Each rental company has a designated area, and you’ll be guided into the right return lane. An attendant will usually do a quick check of the car, and if everything looks good, you’ll get your receipt and be good to go — especially if you paid in advance. If there’s any damage, you’ll be directed to the counter to sort it out. One thing to keep in mind: return policies can vary, especially for after-hours drop-offs or how they calculate your rental period, so it’s smart to ask about that when you pick up your car.
