I think rates are very reasonable for a one day rental. If you're an AARP member, use the discount for your rental.
We did that for a Panama Canal cruise. Rented a car in the Villages and drove to Ft Lauderdale. Uber to the cruise terminal, then flight to MCO from LA at cruise end and Village Van service to our door.
