[bazzanoid]

Well, the flights were booked at the weekend in the BA sale, so i can book the car now i know the flight times!!
a 7-seat Premium SUV with Dollar, £468 from usrentacar.co.uk instead of £584 direct from Dollar

'Tis a nice beast too... the Dodge Durango

Woohoo! One more thing down!

Nice wagon - just bear in mind they havent always got the specific model you order at the airport...

 

[orangetiggs]

I booked through them as well, we are going for the intermediate 4x4! hoping for a dodge nitro but again no guarentees!

Dollar tend to use this model or the Chrysler Aspen, which is identically-sized, just a slightly different look

i don't mind what it is so long as i can fit all of DW's luggage in! I kid ye not.....

How exciting! I'm not brave enough to try the other side of the road yet! Plus I think you need to be 25 to rent abroad....

Yep - some companies will hit you with a surcharge if you're 21-25 which can double the rental cost... I can understand the thinking behind it, especially since the larger cars have ever-increasing engine sizes- the Durango above will be a 3.7+ litre engine!

It's easier than this country to drive in florida.. much more laid back, wider roads.

USrentacar do a special policy they have negotiated for 21-25 year olds, you have to take the Gold option but then the Young driver fee is only about £8-10/night.

'tis true and the gold option pretty much pays for the tank of petrol that it provides these days as well.
