Hertz Rental Car

[Dream'nDisney]

We will be staying at YC and transferring to Hard Rock at Universal. In order to save money, we thought we would use the rental car service that is at the HR (which is Hertz). It looks like there is a Hertz rental at the Courtyard by Marriott near DTD. Has anyone used them? They said they would pick us up if we called an hour before on our last morning of our WDW trip to get the car. (BTW, the reason we are renting a car is that our DD wants to go to the outlet mall near Universal, something we've never taken the time to do before.) Then, we will just return the car to HR upon check-in there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What sort of advice are you looking for? Hertz as a rental car company? Or the plan you have posted?

Personally, Hertz is not my favorite rental company. Although they are the official AAA rental company, I've found them to be a bit pushy when it comes to trying to get you to add additional insurance coverage.

If what you have laid out works for you, though, why not go for it?!

I am trying to just find the most convenient way to get a rental car from WDW to HR. As posted before, we want to do some shopping before checking in to HR, so that's why we need the rental car. Hertz is the only rental car company at Universal I believe, so I'm thinking that's the company we should go with.

We rent from National or Alamo. They have pick up centers at the SWAN or Dolphin and Car Care Center by MK. We always apply for a club card and use coupons. We are going in September and have watched as car rates tend to go up and down. We have, what I feeel, is a good rate at Alamo right now using our club card and coupon. We are picking up/dropping off at the airport. Last time in WDW we rented from the car care center. I have never rented from Hertz though so don't know anything about them.

If they have a drop-off location at Universal, that sounds like it would work best for you.

Hertz has a location at Shades Of Green. It is walkable from TTC/Poly easily.

Be sure to properly reserve the car, and show up at designated time. They have low inventory so if you drop in early you may have to wait...

Never had problems with Hertz, it is what my company uses, and have lucked out on some nice upgrades at MIA on a few occasions. Even got in a wreck last time on the way to disneyworld (Rear ended on turnpike when someone pulled a u-turn in very fast traffic). I was impressed with their handling of the situation.

I think I like the idea of walking to Shades of Green. I will have to research that. That sounds more convenient than renting off-site.
I would prefer to just walk to Dolphin from YC and rent from National But I don't know where we would return car while at Hard Rock
