At Auto Europe Israel, we take pride in our collaboration in Orlando with leading rental providers DOLLAR and THRIFTY. Through us, you can easily book a car with advantageous terms, a variety of categories, and assistance in Hebrew. Both companies have branches at Orlando International Airport (MCO) as well as convenient city branches, allowing flexible pickup and return according to your personal travel itinerary.
Auto Europe Israel partners with a large number of car rental companies in Orlando and Florida in general, providing you with a broad option to collect the car from various stations throughout the metropolis. The main and most popular pickup point is Orlando International Airport (MCO), where most leading brands have counters, sometimes within the terminals and sometimes via shuttles to nearby rental complexes. Additionally, you will find concentrated branches in the downtown area, along International Drive, in Lake Buena Vista, and hotel complexes near Disney and Universal, as well as at Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB) for those arriving on regional flights. Furthermore, there are branches operating in Kissimmee along US-192, in Winter Park, and other neighborhoods, allowing you to choose a pickup point close to your travel route. This coverage enables you to choose the most convenient location in terms of lodging, conferences at the Orange County Convention Center, or visits to amusement parks – and enjoy full flexibility in pickup and return.
Operating hours vary between different rental companies and from branch to branch, so it is especially important to ensure that the chosen station is open at your planned arrival time. For night flights or late landings, it is advisable to consider pickup at MCO, which usually operates at more extended hours, or to arrange pickup outside of operating hours if the service is offered, with possible attention to additional fees. If you prefer to return the car in another area (e.g., near the hotel or proximity to the park), check in advance for one-way rental policies and reception hours at that branch, especially on Sundays and holidays when working hours are limited in neighborhood branches. To ensure a smooth and convenient process, it is recommended to provide a flight number, check fuel and toll policies in advance (such as using electronic toll devices on highways), and confirm pickup and return times so you receive the car at the most suitable place and time for you. During peak seasons in Orlando (summer and holidays), it is advisable to book the desired car group in advance to ensure availability. Some branches offer after-hours return boxes, but it must be confirmed in advance and understand the insurance conditions.
Looking to rent a car with confidence? I have gathered four practical tips to help you save money, avoid unnecessary fees, and drive with peace of mind: appropriate insurance, fuel check, damage documentation, and planning mileage and return policy on time.
Check the insurance coverage
Ensure you understand what the basic insurance, deductible, and deposit amount include. Consider zero deductible or third-party coverage to minimize risks and surprises at the pickup counter.
Fuel and refueling policy
Check whether the policy is full-full or other. Full-full is usually more economical. Keep a receipt from the last refueling and return the car with the same amount to avoid charges.
Document the car's condition
Take video and photos of all sides, interior, and roof before departure and upon return. Report scratches and dents to the staff on-site to avoid charges for existing damages.
Mileage and travel boundaries
Check if the rental includes unlimited mileage or a daily quota. Verify cross-border or island policies and road tolls to plan a route without penalties.
