usrentacar.co.uk ® Car Hire USA Blog

Hi all,

One of our more popular posts last week was the Current Wait Times At Orlando International Airport, the wait times feature is unique tousrentacar.co.uk and is powered through our iPhone and Android apps.

Once your voucher is ready to view you can access our wait time feature, which is specific to your pick up location and supplier (Alamo, Budget, Dollar or Thrifty). The wait time feature shows an averaged time the collection process takes to complete. It also prompts you to add your own wait time.

Today I thought I’d share with you the average collection times from Sanford International Airport.  Sanford is one of our more popular car hire locations, at present we offer collections with Alamo Rent A Car, Budget Rent A Car and Dollar Rent A Car, we only ever offer suppliers of the highest quality.

Supplier Wait Times

Alamo Rent A Car –  30 Mins

Budget Rent A Car – 32 Mins

Dollar Rent  A Car – 57 Mins

As you can see Sanford is an extremely busy Airport, a couple of great tips for making your car hire collection go smoothly are

1. If possible, send one person off to start queuing for your car hire while the others get the bags.
2. Pre-register your information by visit this page – http://usrentacar.co.uk/pre_registration.aspx

I hope you found this post interesting, if there is a location you’d like me to check the wait time on please request it below.

Hi all,

One of the main features of our iPhone and Android app is the exclusive wait time feature.

This feature allows our customers to view the average time previous customers have had to wait to collect their vehicle and in turn; allow them to add their own wait time.

So 3 full months after its release I thought I would post the wait times for Alamo, Budget and Dollar from Orlando International Airport, one of the busiest airports in America.

Supplier Wait Times

Alamo Rent A Car – Average Wait Time 23 mins

Budget Rent  A Car – Average Wait Time 23 mins

Dollar Rent A Car – Average Wait Time 30 mins

As peak season is upon us you can see that the average wait time is quite high.  We suggest taking advantage of the pre-registration options found on usrentacar.co.uk.

What are your experiences of queuing for your car hire?

Hi all,

I missed this, but at the beginning of the month the usrentacar iPhone voucher app hit 1000 downloads. We are obviously delighted with the uptake and feel this is quite an achievement in an industry that isn’t really the sexiest.

The wait time feature has been a massive success and we are gradually building quite a long list of aggregated queue times at some of the America’s most popular pick up locations.

If you haven’t download the app yet, simply visit the iPhone app store and search “usrentacar”. The main feature of the app makes your car hire voucher mobile eliminating the need to print a physical voucher from our website.

Other benefits include our wait time function, which allows you to view the current wait time at your location and also to add your own wait time. Also our instant review and photo sharing feature allows our users to review their car rental immediately upon collection.

Oh! and of course the MAJOR feature is being able to keep up with all my posts on our car hire usa blog!!! You’ll never miss another exciting word…
