Hi Christin,
Thank you so much for coming to planDisney with your question. I am happy to help you think about how to manage a rental car during your visit to
Walt Disney World!
I have great news for you, Christin. You can both pick up and drop off rental cars at the
Car Care Center at Walt Disney World. Currently, Enterprise, Alamo, and National are preferred rental car partners who operate out of this location. The Car Care Center is conveniently located near Magic Kingdom, and it does offer complimentary shuttle service. Please take a look at the website I linked earlier in this paragraph for more specific details, as well as a phone number to call if you wish to speak to someone at the Car Care Center.
There is also a
National and Alamo rental car desk located at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel. Information and a phone number for that location can be found at the link that I provided.
My family does also often rent a car when we travel to Walt Disney World. We like the freedom and flexibility this gives us to head where we want to immediately when we want to. I also want to note that we do use
Walt Disney World resort transportation when we simply want to leave the driving to someone else. We have also become fans of using
Minnie Van Service, especially when we are heading between two locations at Walt Disney World that would require a transfer of transportation. These fun, polka-dotted vehicles can get you quickly and safely around Walt Disney World. Please do note that Minnie Vans do have an associated cost.
I hope that this information is helpful for you, Christin. Please feel free to come back if you have any further questions!
