where to rent from near Orlando
Can anyone make any recommendations of where would be good to rent a warrior or 172 from near Orlando - going to be there Oct/Nov this year on business and looking to do some flying as well providing my meeting with the FAA goes well next week to get my FAA license

I've tried this. There is not a lot around Orlando considering its attraction for other reasons.
All I've ever found is Orlando Flight Training at Kissimmee and COMAIR which is a big commercial school at sanford. Unless you want to fly a harvard, mustang or the heilicopter out of Mash thats it.
OFT is quite good, a bit expensive but friendly and nice planes.

Try Air Orlando at Orlando executive airport.
172sp for $104 very nice and friendly bunch of guys.
Make sure you take along three references back in Uk for a security check.
They charge $35 for instructor time be it air or ground, so this could add up to the equivalent of an hours rental for the checkout!

Sunstate Aviation rent out the new build C172SP at Kissimmee. I think they're located over near warbird Adventures.

Well thanks folks - I looked around when I was there and the option I chose was to rent a Warrior from Orlando Flight Training - did my training elsewhere in Florida and was my first visit to them but seemed pretty well set up and organised (organized for anyone from OFT reading this!)
Check out was organised to suit me then plenty availablity when I wanted to rent
the warrior I rented 70FT was in superb condition well kitted out - not the school aircraft I expected - not may students seem to use it as mostly in 152/72 and Cadets - perhaps due to price which at $101/hr is a little steep - but when compared with good old blighty, a very good deal - I will use them again if in the area and perhaps go further afield than I did as the Garmin GPS was most useful and unexpected luxury.
