Orlando Sanford Intl Airport (SFB) is the secondary airport that services travellers to Orlando, and as such it tends to be less busy which will make picking up your Orlando Sanford Intl Airport car hire a relatively fast process. As a small airport, getting around will be relatively easy. It is conveniently located, and it will only take roughly 25–35min to drive from the airport to downtown Orlando. Your own hire car gives you more freedom and will let you decide whether you wish to travel into the city centre or go straight to one of the city’s amusement parks.
Make sure you understand your provider's return policy before you pick up your car hire at Orlando Sanford Intl Airport. Some will have a simple drop-off process whereas others will take more time and need you to plan ahead. Some companies ask that you book a time slot for your return when you take the car while others will give you a deadline. Most providers offer after-hours returns but make sure you know if the charges cease at drop off or continue to accrue until the company opens the next day.
Orlando is a popular tourist destination so the airport can get busy. Generally, the easiest time to pick up and drop off your car will be on the weekend or on a weekday during the early morning or late afternoon and evening. However, all the providers at the airport are usually open between 08:00 and 23:00 and some are open until 23:59 giving you some extra flexibility. After-hours pick up and drop off services are available from most companies that provide car hire at Orlando Sanford Intl Airport, but these are required to be booked ahead of time. Make sure you check the car for any damages and understand what your insurance covers to avoid any unexpected fees.
Some providers will offer a premium service that includes full insurance, a full tank of petrol and extra car seats. This can often work out cheaper as a package than if you acquire these individually from other sources. Companies such as Alamo will sometimes allow you to choose a specific vehicle from the category you've chosen.

Most of these will be on-site and if they are off-site there will usually be a shuttle bus provided to transport you; whether the car is on or off-site will be clear in the booking process.
What documentation is required?

Pros:

I had been experienced bait and switch with a different car rental office the night before, so wasn’t really feeling too confident about going elsewhere. However, my husband and I were pleased with the customer service at Alamo and appreciated they had cars available for rental.

Cons:

I had to pay $501 for 2 days of rental. I think the price could’ve been a bit better.

The line situation at pick up very confusing. Not sure was working for what car company. People renting and returning cars would go into dollar line and get waited on long before those of us who waited patiently in the correct line.

Everything about the car, pick-up and drop off was great. But I was frustrated because I wanted to find out if I there was after-hours drop off, but there was no way to reach hertz by phone and actually talk to a human. I called at least 20 times. In the end I had to call the road-size emergency number to actually talk to someone and they were able to help me out.

This company is such a scam. They told me I needed basic coverage when I already had insurance. When I realized they had added an additional 400 dollars to my bill I couldn’t get even one person to answer the phone at the location for four days straight and the central office said they couldn’t help it has to be the local branch. I asked three different people before I left the property and they all said “oh you got the basic coverage” and did not ever once tell me it wasn’t required. I tried to get help and got ZERO. I will never use this company again. The vehicle was great, the return was great but the complete deceit on the front end keeps me from ever using this company again.

Pros:

I asked for a rental out of Orlando, FL Airport. When I arrived I found out that the car was in Sanford, FL 45 minutes away with no shuttle as promised. I could not get to Sanford to pick up the car and they would not honor the reservation in Orlando's Dollar Rental. It cost me $75 to pay a taxi to get me to my hotel and I never got my rental. Had to pay for a taxi the whole time I was in Florida.

Cons:

Could have provided a car at the right airport.
