Hi Suzanne!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Yes, you can absolutely do this, and I have done the very same thing for one of our visits.
There are several places in and around the Walt Disney World Resort that you can rent a car. There is actually a Disney
Car Care Center located right near the Magic Kingdom. The
car rental desk there offers both National Car Rental and Alamo Rent-A-Car, and they even offer a complimentary shuttle to and from your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel!
These same two companies also have a rental desk at the
Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel. And a few hotels in the Disney Springs area have rental desks for other companies as well. When we did this, I rented a car from the desk at the Dolphin Hotel, and we took a few days to visit
Disney’s Vero Beach Resort. After our visit to the coast, we returned our car to Orlando International Airport before our flight home. If you are a Costco Member, I find they have the best prices on rental cars so you may want to check them out when searching for a good rate.
Happy Planning!
