Other Car Rental Programs/Partners (ie. Alamo, Enterprise, Sixt) - EZ Rent a Car in Orlando. Anyone dealt with them?

Trying to get some feedback (good or bad) from anyone who has rented from these guys at MCO. I will be going down there next month, and I'm trying to decide between EZ and Enterprise. Thanks in advance.

If the prices are anywhere close, choose Enterprise.

EZ is likely to throw some sort of curveball at you.

Looks like E-Z is the cheaper bet for a 2 week rental (mid-size vehicle). Wonder what the catch is?

This is probably a mom-and-pop operation, with used cars and perhaps mileage restrictions. These are not necessarily bad things, if the car meets your needs.

Nope, actually E-Z is a fairly large operation (mainly covering the southern US and Puerto Rico). I went ahead and booked with them instead of Enterprise. For a mid-size vehicle for 2 weeks, E-Z's price was $629.76 and Enterprise was almost $700. E-Z has unlimited mileage provided I keep the vehicle within the state it was rented in (which won't be a problem).

A bit off-topic, but I just reserved an E-Z Rental in FLL for end of April.
Price was a bit cheaper than others, esp with their 10% discount for joining their (Free) club, pls an additional 5% cashback froim FatWallet.

Also, Expedia says this is the only car rental company at FLL that actually has cars in Terminal 1, the rental building. All the others (at least, according to Expedia), take you on a shuttle off-site to actually pick up the car. This is nice, since our SWA flight arrives right at Terminal 1, so it should just be a short walk from baggage claim to ourcar, avoiding having wait for a the shuttle to get to the car rental building.

I also noteiced that SWA and Expedia offer rentals from E-Z, so (hopefully) they are not too bad of a co.

If anybody has any experience with them, I'd appreciate hearing.

PS I noticed in their rental terms that you have to show proof of Liability & Collision insurance if you want to wait their optional insurances. I plan to bring a letter from my ins. co. as proof. This may be the "gotcha" if they really enforce this requirement, forcing you to buy their insurance if you can't prove coverage to their satisfaction.

Yes, by all means don't forget your insurance cards and a letter from your agent. After making my reservations online, I actually called E-Z and checked on the specific insurance requirements. I was told a letter would certainly eliminate confusion and prevent any hassles.

I believe all companies on-site at FLL are in the garage. Terminal 1 is within walking distance. Terminals 2, 3, and 4 are serviced by a shared shuttle. It's not rental company specific.

We rent cars a few times a year at MCO airport in Orlando. I've used EZ on one occasion and it worked fine. The one thing I do remember is that they tried to offer an upgrade to different class of vehicle. They offered once, I said "No thank you". They kept dropping the price till I said yes. I felt like I was on "Lets Make a Deal".

Well, got into MCO yesterday evening and encountered no problems. In and out within 10 minutes. Service rep at the counter was very courteous, and didn't try to hustle me for an upgrade (thank goodness!). For anyone using this company I do highly recommend that you bring a letter from your insurance agent stating that your regular coverage will transfer over to a rental...it will save you lots of time.

I used E-Z in FLL last August. No problem. I always decline LDW and don't remember any issue.
