Both would be Pay Later reservations through autoslash. Sorry for the newb question but I see people referencing backup reservations...
Is there a better way to go about this booking I'm missing?
Yes, as long as it is the pay later option, you can no-show without penalty.
National usually has plenty of minivans in EE, unless it's around a school holiday. Avis once gave me a Traverse on a midsize reservation at MCO. The best I ever got from Hertz was an Impala IIRC. National is my favorite at MCO.
