Can you expand on why NOT Sixt? I don't have experience one way or the other with them, so just curious.Since you're coming into Terminal C I'd also not recommend Sixt as they are a company that many europeans use since it's German.
The majority of the airlines that fly into Terminal C are European, where Sixt is a very recognized name, much more so than National or Avis. I would expect a large portion of those travelers to choose the name they know rather than a name they don't. Routes tried to make a run of it at MCO also, they are a very well known Canadian rental company and their clientele was primarily Canadian at MCO also. I would personally have no problems using Sixt out of A or B if they were competitive in price and perks to what I get with other companies, but out of C, knowing you're more than likely going to have to go to the counter, I wouldn't choose them.Can you expand on why NOT Sixt?

I rented a car from Avis in August and had to go to their counter in the parking garage.I rented with Alamo in the spring and was able to skip the counter and go right out to the car even though I had never rented from them before. I enrolled in their free royalty program. Many of the other rental companies require you to visit the counter for the first rental
I rent exclusively from Alamo. Walk out, choose a car & go...super convenient.I rented with Alamo in the spring and was able to skip the counter and go right out to the car even though I had never rented from them before.

Sorry, a little confused here, but how does this work? Wouldn't you need to go to the counter no matter what for a key?
The keys are in the car. When you go to the booth to drive out, they check to be sure you're a legitimate renter.Sorry, a little confused here, but how does this work? Wouldn't you need to go to the counter no matter what for a key?
Nope, keys are in vehicle! You just choose the car you want and stop at the exit booth as you are leaving, show them your ID, credit card and reservation. Super easy.Sorry, a little confused here, but how does this work? Wouldn't you need to go to the counter no matter what for a key?
Hertz works similar to this as well, depending on your tier level in their loyalty program. Not sure you have to go to the counter the first rental or not.Nope, keys are in vehicle!

You do not - as long as you join the loyalty program as you make that reservation. I made a Hertz Gold account as I made my first reservation with them. Some things said I'd have to go to the counter for the first time, but in reality, I was able to walk right out and go to the Gold lane and pick my car.Hertz works similar to this as well, depending on your tier level in their loyalty program.

I don’t think the above was clear on skipping the counter. You do need to check in online with Alamo and provide ID and CC info. You’ll then get a QR/barcode with your rental information.Thanks everyone great info. I never would have known how to skip the counter. Now we are all ready to go. Got us booked with Alamo.
