IMHO, this is your best solution. I live in Gainesville (its a 2-hour
drive from MCO via Turnpike & I-75). When I fly out of MCO,
I compare a 1-day/1-way car rental versus the cost of leaving my
car at an airport car lot. If I'm gone long enuff, renting each way
makes sense.

Gainesville's airport (GNV) is a joy to use. Its small, uncrowded,
uncomplicated, and easy to get to from I-75; however, flights are
usually priced significantly higher, and since its not a hub, you'll
need to change planes in Atlanta (Delta) or Charlotte (US Air).
I tend to use GNV only when cashing in FF miles. =R=
