I continue to debate with myself whether it's worth the splurge to rent a car for our visit this summer, but lately I'm leaning toward renting over town car transportation from the airport. Even if we use the buses for the major parks (I've used the buses several times in the past and it's always been okay), I keep thinking a car will make life much easier for water park and DD visits.
That said - can anyone tell me how much gas I can expect to use driving roundtrip from MCO with no more than one or two trips within WDW per day during our 6-day visit (no visits off site to Universal, etc.)? Can I do it in less than one tank (smaller car, compact probably)? Considering gas prices, gas is at least another $20+ to think about in weighing my options.
Also - no matter how often I check, the Dollar FVG rate seems to be--by far--the cheapest option. Even with AAA and DC, National is easily $100 more than the prices I'm getting from Dollar. Any other suggestions for rental companies/codes to try (for July), preferably in the MCO terminal.
Thanks!
