For Orlando theme-park trips, a true 7–8 seat minivan is the easiest way to move strollers, snacks, and suitcases. These categories sell out first on spring-break weeks and during the Christmas–New Year period. Start by filtering for vans when you price Orlando car rental options so you can see real inventory early.
How far ahead should you book?
Peak periods (March–April, June–August, last two weeks of December): aim for 6–8 weeks in advance. Shoulder periods (mid-January, early May, late August into early September): 3–5 weeks is often enough. Because Hola Car Rentals includes Free Cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, it’s smart to hold the best price now and re-check closer to departure.
Choosing the right van—capacity, cargo, comfort
- Confirm seating: most minivans seat seven; if you need eight, verify the exact trim before you finalize.
- Think luggage geometry: a collapsible stroller and soft-sided duffels fit better than multiple hard cases.
- Plan child seats in advance; quantities vary by station and week.
Airport vs city pickup
MCO’s rental car center is efficient, but a neighborhood desk can match your hotel check-in times. Keep city hours handy via Orlando car hire. Heading for beaches after the parks? Pricing a Tampa pickup or a South Florida leg through Miami Airport can align fleet availability with your route.
Budget savers for families
- Seven-day bookings often beat five- or six-day totals—even if you return early.
- Skip paid GPS and rely on offline maps; bring second-row charging cables.
- Refuel within a few miles of the airport and decline prepaid fuel unless timing is tight on departure day.
