Is MCO really 24/7?
MCO operates around the clock, and most rental brands serve late flights with on‑site teams or key‑safe procedures. If your airline delays you, head directly to the Rental Car Center; signage is clear from baggage claim. When in doubt, add your flight number to the booking so staff can track delays and keep your reservation active.
What to expect after midnight
- Allow extra minutes for shuttle, paperwork, and a quick vehicle check.
- Bring the same card you used to book; most suppliers pre‑authorize a deposit.
- Walk the car with your phone light; photograph wheels, glass, and fuel gauge.
- Set your maps and lane guidance before exiting the garage to avoid last‑second turns.
Documents & payment
Have your passport (for international travelers), driver’s license, and booking confirmation ready. Decide who will drive—adding an extra driver is easiest at pick‑up. If you prefer more space for people and luggage, compare an SUV rental in Orlando MCO or a minivan option before you arrive. Payment holds vary by provider; credit cards are widely accepted and speed things up.
Choosing the right vehicle for a late arrival
For a hassle‑free first night, choose a class you can load quickly. Families love the easy doors and cargo space of minivans, while couples often pick compact SUVs for visibility. You can check live fleet availability on Hola Car Rentals across trusted brands like Alamo at Orlando MCO and Hertz Orlando. If you’re heading to Disney or a nearby hotel, set the hotel address in your GPS and confirm the fuel policy before leaving.
Pro tips to save time & money
- Book an early‑bird pick‑up code in your notes and photo ID ready; it speeds the counter.
- Reserve the vehicle class you truly need; you can always upgrade if available.
- Pick a garage level close to the exit for faster getaway.
- Plan your return: choosing car rental with flexible cancellation lets you adjust times without stress.

If you’re landing in the small hours, consider your first fuel stop. Many stations near MCO operate 24/7, but airport pricing can be higher. Take a photo of the starting fuel level and mileage so you can refill to the same level before return.
Orlando’s toll network (Beachline/State Road 528 and others) can appear early on your route. With Hola Car Rentals you can book coverage and even enjoy cashback on tolls, making late‑night drives simpler—no need to scramble for cash or wonder which lane to choose.
Finally, check your return plan before you leave the garage. If your flight time changes, Hola Car Rentals’ flexible policies make it easy to adjust your booking window. Look for your brand’s return lane and note the fuel receipt policy so drop‑off is just as smooth as pick‑up.
Pro tip: set your navigation to avoid tolls if you prefer a slower, toll‑free route to International Drive or Lake Buena Vista. It’s usually only a few minutes longer late at night.
