Tiffany mini-van: 215 + (I assume) a 20% tip = $258.Where are you getting a large rental car (7 seat SUV or van) for $250 or less for a week? Tiffany is 215+ tip round trip for a mini van with car seat for our group of 5. If it’s really possible to come close to that price I agree, it would be hard to argue against a rental vs a car service. But I don’t think it is.
Capital One Travel website 5-passenger SUV for 7 days in August: $227 + gas (maybe $100 - or less) = $327
So, about $75 more total (granted, it's smaller than a minivan) for total freedom for a week vs. a shuttle that takes you there and back and maybe the grocery store and that's it.
Like Carolyn said, different things are worth it to different people. We almost never stay for 7+ days in Orlando without leaving Disney property at all, so it's more than worth it to us.
EDIT: And, if you used a rental car as a shuttle service and then just parked it at a resort, it's 20 miles from MCO to WDW, so maybe $10 in gas. That's $237 total.
