I don't. MCO is one of the most popular destinations, and one-way driving destinations, in the country. Every spring you can rent cars one way from MCO to many locations for $9/day so they can redistribute the cars (and avoid paying the Absolutely Not Free Car Shipping companies).

So $20-$48 is a rip-off? Or did you mean "when the price goes up due to supply and demand, that nasty free market is a rip-off"?
