Hertz Gold Members arriving at MCO Terminal C 2024
Has anyone recently picked up a rental car at Hertz in Terminal C of MCO? As a Hertz Gold member accustomed to the fast process at Terminals A and B, where skipping the counter and heading straight to the garage to select your vehicle or find your pre-assigned spot is the norm, I'm curious about the experience at the new Terminal C. What's the Gold member experience like there? How is Hertz handling the process? Are cars reserved specifically for Terminal C pickups? What about the availability of cars to choose from at Terminal C compared to Terminal A. Is there a similar range of options, or are there fewer choices?

In my experience National Executive Elite usually has a better selection of vehicles, I sometimes book both, go to the cheaper one first and if I don't like what I see check out the other one.

- Terminal C operates during the hours of 6 AM until 9:30 PM, please proceed to the rental counter at Terminal C to process and print your rental contract.
- For all arrivals before or after the operating hours, please proceed to Terminal A.
- If you are a Loyalty Member arriving, we have Loyalty Booths located inside both garages of Terminal A and B.

Flew in two Tuesdays ago for around a 1030pm pickup. I picked up from A as I flew in on F9, so I think that was closer.
PC had several Nissan Rogue type vehicles and several Toyota Camry. I axed the black Camry as I figured it would be hotter coming back to a parked black car vs the grey Camry that I chose.

Picked up last Sunday (7/7) around 6pm, a Ford Explorer with ~6000 miles from PC on the B side. Very lackluster selection.

Any recent experiences with Tesla reservations? Does MCO still have them or will I get a Polestar/Kia? I‘m really not interested in driving those as charging seems stressful compared to the ease of Teslas…
