National Rental Car from the Dolphin-Experience with

Can anyone tell me what their latest experience was with National
Rental Car from the Dolphin. And what was the layout of the rental car
area.

I will be picking up a car and then dropping it off at the Dolphin on
three separate occasions. I am handicapped and cannot walk long
distances. So will I have to walk far to drop off my rental car and
then go get a new one?

I am going to try to keep the same car each time so walking MIGHT not
be an issue.

But I would like to know the layout of where do I go (do I go inside
the lobby?) to drop off the car? And where do I go to pick up a new
car?

I can save money by doing 3 different reservations and renting a car
for 3 weeks runs into a lot of money. So any little bit of money saved
is great since I don't mind the hassle of the dropoff/pick up. I did
this when the Car Care Center was open and it was easy.

By the way, I just talked to National and they said that National
would be coming back to the Car Care Center but she did not know when.
I for one will be really glad when that happens.

How do you figure you'll have even the slightest chance of getting the
same car each time? And, what would getting the same car each time
have to do with the distance you'll have to walk?

I must be missing something.

It's usually very easy. When the rental guy comes I tell him that I am
renting another car under a new rental agreement and would it be
possible to just stay in the one I am in. At MCO, the guy said "Sure,
just give them this paperwork at the booth when you drive up" I did
have to wait for a few cars in front of me to be returned to the
rental aisle but then I just drove up to the booth, handed her my
paperwork and she made out a slip for the new rental agreement and I
was on my way. I never had to get out of the car and it was really
easy.

Now I'm really confused. I thought that the three rentals were spaced
over a three-week period of time. So.....that's not what you're doing?
You're ending a rental and starting one immediately following? And,
how is this better than just renting for whatever length of time you
need the car? I guess I must be missing a step or something.

Yes, National is not at the Car Care Center no matter what it shows on
Deb's site. I know this from personal experience.
