enterprise usually rents to 18 year olds, but they charge you extra and they restrict the types of vehicles you can rent. Otherwise, you can try local companies in Orlando. When I needed one at 19, I rented from a company called Able Rent a Car near the airport. I got a yellow Xterra from them

There is not much you can walk to. Where are you staying and what do you plan to visit? Some hotels have free buses, others will be able to arrange for bus transport, either shared with other hotels. Alternatively, before I was 21 I used a company called Airport Limousines - a cross between a mini bus and a taxi. They would pick you up at the hotel and take you to your desired park. Then you phoned them an hour before you wanted to be picked up. More flexible than a bus, but unlike a taxi you may have to share. However that made it a lot cheaper.
I just finished reading their policies on the net..

I just did the math for you as well. 1 day, after all costs figured in (insurance, taxes, and surcharges... not counting fuel however), it will be about $53/day for the Daewoo (in the UK the Lanos is known as the Kalos). Not too bad, but definitely expensive.
most UK tour operators use the larger US companies, so Barnum is dead on with his reply. I remember when my car was hit from behind and I was 19, I had to go through a local company called Able rent a car. They gave me an SUV. If they're still in business, I'd check them out... they were pretty good.
