Orlando International Airport (MCO) drops you onto SR-528 or SR-417 within minutes, and vehicle demand swings with school calendars. If you want the very lowest pricing, start by scanning Orlando Airport car rental rates across a full month—those charts surface the weeks when supply is ahead of demand.
When do rates typically dip at MCO?
Shoulder windows usually win: mid-January after New Year’s, early May before summer rush, late August into early September once U.S. schools restart, and the first half of November before Thanksgiving. Event-heavy periods—Presidents’ Day week, March–April spring break, summer weekends, Christmas and New Year—tend to spike. The key is to target a normal travel week without a major local convention or holiday overlay.
How to find the cheapest week—fast
- Compare Saturday–Saturday versus Sunday–Sunday spans; true seven-day quotes often price best on a per-day basis.
- Test pickup hours; moving from 11:00 p.m. to midday can shift you out of a premium band.
- Price neighborhood counters against on-airport desks; some weeks a short rideshare to a city location is cheaper.
- Hold a cancellable booking, then re-shop weekly—rates move with fleet returns and airline loads.
Smart pickup alternatives around Central Florida
If your itinerary includes beaches or the Gulf Coast, also compare South Florida gateways. Keep a backup tab open for Orlando city car hire hours, and weigh the total trip math by checking the flow at the Miami Airport counters, a westbound hop via a Tampa pickup, or even a Fort Lauderdale arrival if flights line up.
Money-saving habits that work any week
- Book early, then re-check—Hola Car Rentals includes Free Cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup so you can switch if prices fall.
- Stay flexible on class; compact SUVs can undercut full-size sedans on certain weeks.
- Cap add-ons; GPS units, toll programs, and extra-driver fees can erase a cheap headline rate.
- Stick to a full-week plan when possible; returning a day early often still beats a five- or six-day quote.
