Does anyone have any recommendations for places to rent aircraft in the Orlando area? I have only looked at a few at ORL so far, but they had very restrictive rules (no touch and go's, short list of approved airports, maximum 5 knot crosswind component, etc...). I live near MCO, and would like to find something within an hours drive.

The place down at KGIF had some nice looking rigs last time I was there, I can't comment on them though.

I saw a new flight center at kism. They have a open house Saturday for grand opening. I'd check them out.

They have planes based in both West and East of Orlando. The 182 is very nice.

Here's two more out of Apopka. The second one has both LSA and conventional planes for rent.
X04, Orlando Apopka airport is an hour if you avoid tolls, 35-45 if you're willing to pay tolls.

I don't have personal knowledge, but here are rentals and flying clubs out of Kissimmee and Sanford too. I'd use the airport information from AOPA, if you're a member. You can check Airnav too.

There's Sunstate Aviation at the Kissimmee Airport KISM.
They've been there a long time and are getting ready to open a brand new state of the art facility.

Short term or long term (as in "I'm visiting the area and want to take a few flights." or "I live here and will be renting for years.")? What kind of aircraft?
I belong to Orlando Club Flying which has 2 C-172's. Restrictions are an annual BFR or equivalent, and a checkout for night flight separate from the normal checkout. Grass (as long as it's on the sectional) is OK. Crosswind is encouraged (although with the chief instructor first).
C-172 C - $65 tach hour dry.
C-172 N - $75 tach hour dry.
1 flight hour/month use it or not, plus $130 maintenance fee.
Based at KORL.
