Enterprise Rental Cars in Lake Sumter Landing is probably the closest. Not sure about a military discount. If you're a Costco member look on their website. They often beat the rental car website's prices.

Enterprise is in Lake Sumter Landing near Bravo Pizza. Hertz is in Spanish Springs in the MVP Athletic building. And AVIS/Budget is in Leesburg, near the airport.

Be very, very, very wary of turo.com. You are not renting from a company, but from individuals. The insurance considerations are enough to turn you off.

Have always found the best price at Budget or Avis in Leesburg on 441. If you are an AARP member, you can get 30% off using their code.

Default Rental Car Shortage
Nation wide there is a shortage of rental cars..including here in TV. Book as far in advance as possible. Due to an emergency I tried to rent a car 1 day in advance…nothing available in TV at Enterprise and Hertz…had to go to Hertz in Leesburg.

Thumbs up
I just booked a small SUV through Enterprise for 4 days at $55 a day unlimited miles.
I don't think any rentals can be rented at one site and dropped off at another site.

Turo has great insurance . Even better than chains as they use your insurance.

We have rented several times through Costco. You can rent online through Costco travel. They will provide you with several reputable rental car companies and various pick up locations and prices for each. Their prices are great and they allow two drivers for the car. Inventory is very low right now so even their prices are higher than we have paid in the past.
