"One of Enterprise's stronger US airports — no shuttle, vehicles within walking distance of all three terminals. Orlando's cashless toll system is the one thing worth sorting before you leave the lot."
MCO is Enterprise's third-busiest domestic leisure market, and the location scores back that up. The fleet runs wide here: economy cars, minivans, full-size SUVs, and an exotic car operation directly at the airport. Whatever you're driving to — the resort corridor, the Space Coast, or further south into Florida — the vehicle selection covers it. For the full picture on renting in the state, the Florida rental guide covers airport fees, tolls, and what to sort before pickup.
The counter setup is on-airport and no-shuttle. Terminals A and B are on Level 1, Terminal C is on Level 4, and vehicles are in the adjacent parking garage at Level 1 across the street from all three terminals. Orlando's expressways run entirely cashless through SunPass and E-PASS — which means the toll conversation is worth having before you leave the lot, not on FL-528 heading toward Disney. That's the one piece of local knowledge that separates a smooth pickup from an avoidable admin question later. Everything else here follows the standard Enterprise playbook.

What does Enterprise charge at MCO?
Most of what Enterprise offers at the MCO counter you can decline. The deposit hold and the young driver surcharge are the exceptions — both are applied automatically where they apply. The Damage Waiver and the toll pass are the two decisions worth sorting before you arrive.
| Fee | Typical charge | Risk | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Damage Waiver (DW) | $29.99-$49.99/day | High | You can decline this. Per Enterprise's published rental conditions at MCO, the daily rate depends on vehicle class. Knowing your credit card's rental coverage before pickup means the conversation at the counter is a confirmation, not a decision. |
| Security deposit hold | $400 standard; $850 for premium or luxury classes | High | Can't avoid this one. It's a hold, not a charge — released after return. Debit card holds take longer to clear. At airport locations, debit is only accepted with a ticketed return itinerary. |
| Young driver surcharge | $25/day (ages 21-24) | Medium | Can't avoid this if you're between 21 and 24. Confirmed in Enterprise's MCO rental conditions. Applied on top of the base rate. |
| Additional driver | $15/day; spouse or domestic partner free | Medium | You can decline this by keeping one named driver on the contract. Spouse or domestic partner is added free — confirmed in MCO rental conditions. Enterprise Plus members should check their membership terms for potential waiver. |
| Toll pass (TollPass) | $4.95/day you use a toll road + actual toll cost | Medium | You can decline this if you have your own Florida-compatible transponder. Orlando's expressways run entirely cashless on SunPass and E-PASS. Taking Enterprise's pass removes the reconciliation question on a toll-heavy route. |
| Supplemental Liability Protection (SLP) | $16.09/day | Low | You can decline this. Provides up to $300,000 third-party liability coverage. Check your personal auto policy first — your existing liability protection may already transfer to a rental. |
Enterprise Rent-A-Car published rental conditions for Orlando International Airport (MCO). Accessed August 2026.
Enterprise scores 8.9 on DiscoverCars across 99 ratings at MCO — ahead of Las Vegas and Chicago, just behind the California airports. One habit covers most of what can go wrong here: photograph the car before you drive off. Exterior, interior, timestamp included. It takes two minutes at pickup and it's what makes any question after return straightforward to resolve.
The Damage Waiver
Enterprise's Damage Waiver at MCO runs $29.99 to $49.99 per day depending on vehicle class — confirmed in their published rental conditions. It's always optional. If you decline it, the responsibility sits with you personally, or with your credit card if it includes rental collision coverage. Most major travel cards do, when you pay with the card and decline the counter insurance. Worth checking before you travel so the answer at the desk is already settled.
The deposit hold
Enterprise holds $400 on your card at pickup for standard vehicle classes. Premium and luxury classes carry an $850 hold. It's released after return but not necessarily the same day — credit card holds clear faster than debit. At MCO, debit is only accepted if you present a ticketed return travel itinerary. Only a spouse or domestic partner may be added as an additional driver on a debit rental. Full details on debit rental conditions across all suppliers are in our car rentals with no credit card guide.
Orlando toll roads and the TollPass
Most of the expressways around Orlando — FL-528 from MCO, the Florida Turnpike, the routes feeding the resort corridor — are fully cashless. SunPass and E-PASS are the systems; there are no cash lanes. If you have your own compatible transponder, you can decline Enterprise's TollPass and use it instead — but register the rental plate with your transponder account before you leave the lot. One unregistered toll road and you may be auto-enrolled in the pass anyway. The simpler move if your route has tolls: take the pass at $4.95 on any day you use a toll road plus the actual toll cost, and leave your own transponder at home.
Young driver and additional driver fees
Drivers between 21 and 24 pay $25 per day on top of the base rate — confirmed in Enterprise's MCO rental conditions. There's no waiver for this. Additional drivers are $15 per day, with one exception: a spouse or domestic partner is added free of charge and doesn't need to be listed in advance as long as they meet the same licence requirements. Enterprise Plus members should check their membership terms for any additional driver waiver before the counter.
The verdict
The no-shuttle counter setup is genuinely convenient, and the fleet is wide enough to cover everything from a theme park run in an economy car to a larger family vehicle for a week across Florida. If the price works, it's a straightforward booking.
If you're already booked: Before pickup, find out what rental coverage your credit card includes — the Damage Waiver decision is the first thing the counter agent will raise. Screenshot your confirmation. When you pick up the car, photograph it fully before you drive off. Decide on the toll pass before you get to the desk: if your route includes any expressway around MCO (almost certain for theme park destinations), either take the pass or have your own SunPass-compatible transponder ready and know how to register the rental plate on it. Read the tablet sign-off before you initial it. That's the whole prep.

If you've already returned the car and have a question about a charge: If you booked through a third-party platform, start there. Then contact Enterprise in writing with your signed rental agreement and your pickup and return photos. Give them one week to respond. If it doesn't move, a credit card chargeback with your documentation is the next step.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I pick up my Enterprise rental at MCO?
Enterprise has counters on Level 1 of Terminals A and B, and on Level 4 of Terminal C. After checking in at the counter, vehicles are collected from Level 1 of the parking garage across the street — it's a short walk, no shuttle required. The counter runs two daily windows: midnight to 1:00 AM and 7:00 AM to 11:59 PM. After-hours returns are handled via a secure drop-box in the designated return lane.
I already have an Enterprise booking at MCO — what should I check before pickup?
Find out what rental coverage your credit card provides before you arrive — that way the insurance conversation at the counter is a confirmation, not a decision. Screenshot your booking confirmation. When you pick up the car, photograph the full exterior and interior before you drive off — your phone timestamps it automatically. Read the tablet sign-off carefully before initialling it.
Does Enterprise at MCO accept debit cards?
Yes, but with conditions. At airport locations, Enterprise accepts debit cards only if you present a ticketed return travel itinerary. The name and address on your driver's licence must match your current home address. Only a spouse or domestic partner may be added as an additional driver on a debit rental. For a full breakdown of which suppliers accept debit and under what terms, see our car rentals with no credit card guide.
How much is the deposit at Enterprise MCO?
Enterprise holds $400 on your card at pickup for standard vehicle classes — economy through full-size cars, minivans, and compact SUVs. Premium and luxury classes carry an $850 hold. The deposit is released after return, but not necessarily the same day. Debit card holds take longer to clear than credit card holds.
Do I need a toll pass for Orlando?
Orlando's major expressways — including FL-528, the Florida Turnpike, and most routes toward the theme parks and the coast — run entirely cashless on SunPass and E-PASS. If you decline Enterprise's TollPass and have your own compatible transponder, register the rental plate with your transponder account before you leave the lot. See our fuel policy guide for how fuel options work alongside the toll decision.
Enterprise charged me after I returned the car at MCO — what are my options?
If you booked through a third-party platform, raise it there first — they have direct leverage with the supplier. Then contact Enterprise in writing with your signed rental agreement and pickup and return photos. Give them one week to respond. If that doesn't resolve it, a credit card chargeback with your documentation is the next step.
