Tips for renting a car at Orlando Airport (MCO), FL

Before you rent:

Make an informed choice. We believe in providing you with options to choose the right car for your needs with complete price transparency. At U-Save, we prioritize your peace of mind, which means rental insurance with us is not overly complicated and you are assured you are properly insured.

When you collect your Vehicle:

Think ahead. It's a good idea to map out your trip in advance, especially if you're returning the rental car to an unfamiliar location or airport. Check your confirmation email to make sure you know where to meet your agent or where the rental desk, and save the contact details to your phone for quick access.

Bring the necessary documents. While we strive to make the check-in process as simple as possible, some information is required by law. Having your reservation information, driver's license, passport and credit card ready in advance can speed up your reservation process. If you choose to self-insure, make sure that you have verifiable proof of full coverage insurance at the time of rental pickup. If you are a local renter, make sure that you have all the information required by the location to confirm your ID and address.

Conduct a car inspection. Perform a detailed walk around inspection as soon as the vehicle is received to note any existing damage on the rental agreement. The five damage hotspots that we've discovered deserve special attention. You are shielded from responsibility when you return the vehicle by disclosing any existing damage prior to leaving the location.

While you rent:

Take care. Please be advised that depending on the rental coverage you chose, you could be responsible for any damage that occurs during the rental period. Take measures to reduce the possibility of collisions leading to dings and scratches, especially in congested parking areas.

When you return your vehicle:

Complete one more vehicle inspection. Conduct a second inspection during the return procedure, and no matter how little it may look, carefully record any damage. This approach enables us to handle your refund quickly while making sure you are completely insured. The five damage hotspots should receive special attention, just as they did during the initial assessment.

Orlando

Driving in Orlando Florida – Local Rules, Tips & Environment

 

Driving in Orlando is generally easy and car-friendly, especially if you're used to wide U.S. roadways. Roads are clearly marked, parking is available in most areas, and major attractions are easily reached by well-maintained highways.

In the USA and Florida, driving is on the right-hand side. The driver sits on the left and overtakes on the left. Seat belts are required for all front-seat occupants and children under 18. Right turns on red are allowed, unless otherwise posted, but you must come to a complete stop and yield before turning.

Seat belts are mandatory for all front-seat passengers and children. Florida has hands-free laws, so texting or holding a phone while driving is prohibited. Speed limits in Florida are 70 mph (113 km/h) on interstates and highways, 55 mph (89 km/h) on urban divided highways, 30 mph (48 km/h) in residential and city streets, and 20–25 mph (32–40 km/h) in school zones. Speed limits may drop suddenly near construction zones, bridges, or schools, and enforcement is common.

Gas stations are widely available, including in downtown, and fuel prices in Florida are generally below the national average. Roads are in good condition, and tolls are minimal — though you may encounter a few when heading toward Orlando or South Florida. For navigation, Google Maps, Waze, and Apple Maps all work well, but real-time traffic data is essential on roads like I-4, which is known for congestion. Orlando has a large toll road network, and we'll inform you more about it when picking up your rental!

Fuel stations are abundant and offer pay-at-the-pump service. Orlando roads are in excellent condition, with wide lanes and good signage. Downtown Orlando has metered street parking and city garages and theme parks such as the Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld and shopping centers have large, paid parking lots! 

If you need assistance while in Miami, don’t hesitate to contact our office. In an emergency, dial 911 for immediate help. 

FAQs About Driving & Renting a Car around Orlando FL

Where do I pick up my rental car?

We are located about 10 minutes from the airport, and a shuttle service will take you to us from the airport. The address is: 7640 NARCOOSSEE RD ORLANDO, Orlando, Florida, 32822.

How do I get from MCO Airport to Downtown Orlando?

Take FL-436 (Semoran Blvd) or FL-408 (East-West Expressway) west toward the city center. The drive takes 20–30 minutes, depending on traffic.

Do I need a car if I’m just visiting the theme parks?

Yes, unless you’re staying inside a Disney or Universal resort that offers shuttles. Most hotels off-property do not have free transportation, and Uber costs can add up quickly. Renting a car gives you the flexibility to explore at your own pace.

Are there toll roads between the airport and attractions?

Yes, routes like FL-528 (Beachline Expressway) and FL-417 are common paths to the attractions and involve electronic tolls. Most our rental cars come equipped with toll pass devices, but we'll confirm this with you while starting your rental..

How is traffic in Orlando?

Orlando traffic is manageable, except during the rush hour (7–9 AM and 4–6:30 PM) and theme park opening/closing times. Weekend afternoons near shopping outlets I-4 is the most congested road.

Is parking easy at the attractions and in downtown Orlando?

Yes, but it’s not free. Expect $25–$30/day at Disney or Universal , and $2–$4/hour in downtown metered zones. Parking apps and prepaid options help save time!

Can I take a day trip to the beach from Orlando?

Absolutely! Great options include the Cocoa Beach (1 hr via SR-528), Daytona Beach (1 hr 15 min via I-4 and I-95), Tampa Bay or Clearwater (2 hrs west via I-4). A car is essential for these trips.

Are the roads safe and easy for tourists to use?

Yes. Orlando is designed for driving, with wide lanes, good lighting, and clear signage. Just stay alert near tourist zones, where drivers may brake unexpectedly or make quick turns.

What should I know about toll charges in a rental car?

If your rental has a SunPass or E-PASS, you’ll be billed automatically. Otherwise, you’ll use Toll-by-Plate, which photographs your license plate and bills your rental agency (often with a service fee). Confirm toll policies with us at pickup.

Can I return my car to another city like Miami or Tampa?

Yes, we usually allow one-way rentals, though drop-off fees may apply. Be sure to arrange this when booking!
