On our travels we found a lovely place to visit 30 minute drive away from universal called amazing animals inc. It was an independent rescue centre $300 for 1/4 guests for a private guided tour of their rescued animals with interaction with capybara and sloths as well as some farm yard animals.

We picked the car up from the new Melbourne Orlando International Airport, the new home airport for TUI. It is an airport in development and you can see the new things that will arrive in the near future as you walk through. No blanked off areas, just safety barriers to allow you to see the developments under construction.
Issues regarding pricing were the only real focal points, both the other airports, MCO and Sanford both have similar availability for rental at lower prices for equivalent vehicles. Probably this will level out as Melbourne becomes more established.
