Car hire collection at midnight?

Has anyone collected their car at MCO at midnight are there man people there. We are possibly planning now getting the last flight out of New York into MCO I don't imagine it will be that busy that we will have to do the save time thing and go to the garage or will that even be open at that time of night ?

Thanks

I could be wrong but I'm sure the main companies will be open so long as there are flights arriving. I'm sure I read that most are 24/7 at MCO.

I would defiantly do the Save Time thing, there will probably only be one person working the desk at night and if 3 or 4 people beat you there off your plane you could stand there a while.

Thats great and yeh I suppose their will still be a few people collecting their cars but not the same influx from the British flights lol will have to go check out which companies offer the save time option and see who we are going to go with

Thanks for the advice

We've collected at about 11.45! No problem at all, totally stress free and very few folks around, really quick and easy. Pussycat

Thanks pussycat we are toying with the Idea on the last flight in NYC rather than spending another night and wasting a morning getting to the airport is I think this will def be the plan now and plus we will save about £200

We have pick a car up at 12.45am when our flight from atlanta was delayed due to weather, the only issue we had was there were very few cars available. None in our group so we had to take the nexr group up which was a horrible town car type of car! It was a tank! On the plus there were a few car company people around!

Fewer the better eh no hard sales I hope. It's just the two of us and we normally get the smallest car so hopefully there is something suitable .

We have. We were on a delayed flight and got in at midnight. It was bliss. No queues... No hard sell... free upgrade as they didn't have the right size clean and in stock.

But we had had a long day and just wanted tho get too the villa
