Car hire Hertz

Hi there wondering if anyone has hired from Hertz lately @MCO, as booked a Nissan Altima ( or similar) wondering what the or similar might be if there are no altimas.

When booking a “Nissan Altima or similar” at Hertz MCO, the “or similar” means you could receive any mid-size sedan that falls in the same category in terms of size, passenger capacity, and features. Rental agencies often use this terminology to allow flexibility if the specific model is unavailable at the time of pickup.

Examples of vehicles that could be provided instead of a Nissan Altima include:

  • Toyota Camry
  • Honda Accord
  • Hyundai Sonata
  • Kia K5
  • Chevrolet Malibu

Some tips for a smooth pickup experience:

  • Arrive early if possible, especially during peak travel times, to have a better chance of getting your preferred model.
  • If you have a specific preference (e.g., hybrid, newer model), you can request it at the counter, though it’s not guaranteed.
  • Inspect the vehicle carefully before leaving the lot and note any existing damage on the rental agreement.

Overall, at MCO Hertz, the “or similar” policy usually means you’ll get a vehicle comparable in comfort and size to the Altima, so your driving experience should be very similar even if it’s not the exact car.
