AIRLINES

The major carriers serving Orlando are Southwest, AirTran, and JetBlue - in that order.  These carriers account for over 60% of the flights in and out of Orlando.  None offer a conference discount package so we will not name an official conference carrier in 2009. 

AVIS CAR RENTAL DISCOUNTS

For special Avis Smart Marriage Conference car rental discounts

Discounts apply June 29 - July 19, 2009.
The group discount is in the 5-25% range depending on prevailing specials but is
guaranteed to be the lowest rate being offered, even on the internet, at the time of booking.
The group award number will automatically search for the
lowest rate available at the time, guaranteeing
attendees the lowest rate possible with Avis.

Why Avis? You will notice that Enterprise has a car-rental desk at the Shingle Creek Resort.
I explored using Enterprise and was convinced Avis was the better deal.  Avis has an office/lot
a mile from the Shingle Creek Resort and has FREE pick up/drop off service. Call 407-370-3231
an hour in advance to schedule pick-up.

Avis rates are lower. Avis is open on Sunday/Enterprise is closed on Sunday. Avis lets you pick up a car at the hotel and drop it off at the airport, no fee.  Enterprise charges a $50 airport drop off fee.
