Orlando airport car rentals: What you need to know

There's more to Orlando than Disney World. It's a sprawling city with many attractions. Consider renting a car if you want to explore and make the most of what Orlando has to offer.

Renting a car at Orlando International Airport and getting in and out of the airport can be relatively hassle-free with a little bit of planning and research.

The airport website trumpets that Orlando is the largest car-rental market in the world. Most major rental car companies are located on the airport's property and are within walking distance of the rental desks, so you won't have to take shuttle buses. The Orlando airport rental car companies are located on the A-Side and the B-Side of the Terminal on the Ground Transportation Level (Level 1).

When your business in Orlando is done, the airport makes it easy to drop off your rental car and board your flight home. Follow the directions provided by the Orlando airport car rental company. Use the airport map for reference.

Airline check-in services are located on level R1 of the parking garages where rental cars are returned. The A garage is on the west and the B garage on is the east, which are the ends nearest the entrance ramps.
