There could be a 3 row SUV with captain's chairs, just make sure you check every car because some trims have them and some don't.

GMC Acadia has captain's chairs but it's pretty small for a 3-row SUV. Dodge Durango may work too. Ford Explorer has 2+3+2 I believe.

The Acadia is the only one I've seen in the fleet with capitan chairs.. The Durango 3rd row is good but I wouldn't go with the explorer 3rd row unless you are putting children in there.. You would think since the explorer is FWD by default it would have some more room for the 3rd row vs the Durango

How do tolls work with cars rented at MCO ? Do I have to ask for a toll pass or do I just get billed for every toll we go through unless we stop and pay ? Thanks

Pretty sure it's connected to the license plate, so the latter.

It is tied to the plate. Just go through the SunPass lanes and you will get a bill a few weeks later. I had a 5 day rental and paid tolls daily and they only charged me the $3.95 fee once even though the receipt said per day.

Free upgrade

I'm an on an executive status and I'll be MCO on Memorial weekend. National currently has a "free single upgrade" and if I reserve an economy which they will upgrade to a midsize. Does that mean I'm able to pick any car on Exective area?

I just rented on May 5th around 9:30am from Executive Aisle on B side. Here is some of what I saw on the aisle:

GMC Acadia
Chrysler 300
Ford Edge Titanium
Camaro RS
Audi Q3
Around 5 Cadillac XTS
Cadillac XT5

I took the XT5. Only had 350 miles on it. Sirius still worked.

I am really not sure if that would work. You could try looking for a coupon for a free day, percent off , or money off that way you may be able to bring the price down and still get the aisle choice.

Upgrade from Economy would get you a compact. Upgrade from compact would get midsize. I think it has been discussed before,but that would not guarantee access to aisle. Would be better off booking midsize and looking for a $ off coupon.

Executive Aisle - 05/ 17/18 - Terminal B

It was loaded with:

1 Dodge Challenger
1 Audi Q3
1 Lincoln MKX
A few Cadillac Sedans and 1 Cadillac Mid Sized SUV
1 Camaro SS

There were a few Chargers and some other full sized cars. The cars listed above stood out though. Seems to have a good selection in the morning (0930 AM).

It will say on your reservation one of two things:
1)Upon arrival, please proceed to the Executive area to choose your vehicle.
or
2)Upon arrival, please proceed to the area of the car class reserved to choose your vehicle.

If it says #1 then you are good to go, if it says #2 then you need to change your reservation to get the aisle.

Flying in on the 16th -- Hoping to get a Camaro SS in ES but will also take a hard look at the premier selection. How's the premier looking recently at MCO?

I'm not sure how the premier section is but I actually wanted a Camaro SS once and since it wasn't in ES, I asked the employee if he could move one around to the aisle. He came back a couple minutes later with a brand new one with only a few hundred miles on it. So the moral of the story is, don't be afraid to ask. Report back and let us know how it goes.

I've just reserved a "Standard Sport" with Budget MCO. Descriptor is 2-door, 4-passenger, Manual Transmission, Ford Mustang or similar. Any idea what I'm likely to get? Was totally surprised to see manual transmission as an option.
