If you are off to see the Mouse or otherwise going to Orlando

We found this deal for Car Rentals at Orlando, FL, International Airport
My experience with renting at the airport in Orlando, is that it is difficult but not impossible to avoid the toll roads between the Airport and most of the attractions, and hotels.
Obviously the fastest way is along those toll roads, using a window mounted SunPass toll tag. If you are toll aversive, like I am sometimes, a good GPS guide service like WAZE might help you get around it, but will add a lot of travel time, and stop light traffic, maybe making the difference in gas costs, but surely making it in your personal time.
The Rental car companies have a relationship allowing you to opt-in to paying your toll fees through them, read the contract carefully to understand any upcharging they may apply for this service, just as you would check the gas refill details in the contract.
There was a time when you could get the Sunpass yourself pass online through Amazon.com, and you can still get it online through Sunpass.com, but note that you will not want to permanently mount it on the rental car windshield so a e-Z Pass Suction Cup Mount - For Your Electronic Toll Pass might also be helpful. Another bit of advice for the first time Florida toll user there are various Florida e-pass services, you can use any on any Florida tool roads, they are equivalent. Don't worry if the road toll signs don't include the service name you have chosen.
