I'm not to excited about driving around areas I'm not familiar with.

Originally Posted By sweetpea70 ^^^ thanks, that sounds easy. Does that mean they bring the car to you? I know BWPPI does not have enough parking for a fleet of rentals. I'll call and check with them of course but I would rather ask you guys the dumb questions first.

When we return the car to the office, they then drive us back to the hotel, or to the front gate of Disneyland if that is where we'd rather go (which it usually is). National also shares the office with them, but I don't know if they shuttle back and forth from the hotels.

Originally Posted By drawbridge Park Vue has a rental station too. Enterprise is not the only place that will come and get you, most will if asked. If you are using a Bank of America (or maybe others) Visa you will get discounts at Hertz or Avis, plus free insurance. I've never done with but remember reading about it. I'm sure there are all kinds of restrictions but it never hurts to ask.
