Is Hertz Car Rental efficient at the Airport?

We are catching a 1pm flight to Canada from Orlando on a weekday.We also have to return the rental car to Hertz. We are leaving from Disney Beach Club Resort .



When would you suggest that we leave to go to the airport?



How long do you think it will take to return the car and catch the shuttle to the airport from Hertz Rental?



Thanks.



Is Hertz Car Rental efficient at the Airport?


I see that no one has answered your post, so this will at least bump it back up where some may see it. I can%26#39;t be specific with Hertz in Orlando, but my experience in every airport lately is that as I drive in to return a rental I am met by a worker carrying a hand held computer who very quickly verifies my information and prints out my receipt on the spot. It has never taken more than 5 minutes. So, I don%26#39;t know how long the shuttle ride would take ( not long I%26#39;m guessing) but as far as returning the car- there should be no standing in line at a counter if that%26#39;s what concerns you- but now that I%26#39;ve bumped this up, lets see if anyone with specific Hertz in Orlando experience can reassure you that it won%26#39;t be a major wait. The rental car companies are very speedy- they are anxious to turn over the cars as quickly as possible these days!

Since Hertz is not at the airport,I would allow at least 45 minutes to return the car and catch the shuttle-you may have to wait awhile for a shuttle to the airport. You%26#39;re supposed to allow 2 hours at the airport to check in there and clear security so I would think you would need to leave by 10:30




Returning the car doesn%26#39;t take very long, but the shuttle over to the airport isn%26#39;t quick





if you can find a comperable rate at a airport car rental, you might want to consider it




Hmack:





I normally rent from Hertz, but Alamo is the favored car rental w/ Disney, so its got the market share at least in Orlando.





As the last post said, Hertz is not in the airport, and any shuttle means time. Alamo%26#39;s cars are parked across the driveway from the luggage carousel area (I think). We visited in November, and if you make an online reservation w/ Alamo, you can use one of their self-serve kiosks and really fly through the reservation process. I recall about 6-8 self-serve machines next to their manned counters.




We used Hertz in October and it does not take long to get to the airport and we only had a couple of minutes to wait for the shuttle.





A shuttle bus left as we got out of the car and by the time the luggage was out and we walked over another bus came along. The trip took a few minutes and we were impressed with how smooth it all was. I did not check how long it was but it certainly did not take long. We got off at the terminal door and the longest part was luggage drop off but we were going back to UK with BA.





I would use them again. Our main reason for using them was the ability to pick up at the hotel.




One of the reasons you didnt get many replies form this side of the Atlatic is Hertz is not one of the Cheapest for Brits ,Dollar ,Alamo Budget are better rates for us and they are on the Airport with easy access for arrivals and departures.



So we wernt being rude just had no input :)
