Thrifty Car Rental - Price Difference

[PrincessNelly_NJ]

We've never rented a car while in WDW. We normally drive our own or Uber but in this case, we have a short trip with limited time, so we would prefer to rent a car.
I've found Thrifty to be the cheapest and already signed up for their Blue Chip program.

I noticed that the rental is cheaper when I'm NOT logged in vs when I am. Its about $50 cheaper.

If I book it while not logged in, will there be any issues with me linking it to the blue chip program? Will I still be able to use the 2nd driver benefit?

Before you rent from Thrifty at MCO do a quick google search and read the reviews. You may not think their cheap price is worth it after that. I was very lucky when I rented from them a few years ago but my experience was apparently not the norm. Google search "Thrifty car rental MCO" and read through a handful of the 234 google reviews (as of this post).

A co-worker, who owns a rental house near Disney, suggested Turo car rental. I'd never heard of them but I've now rented from them twice when I visit WDW and both times I was happy with my rental experience.

If you still decide to go with a car rental agency at MCO, check out Visitor Toll Pass. It's a free transponder rental and you get discounts for the actual toll charges. It beats the rental fees that the rental agencies charge.
