Car Hire quote- can anyone beat it?

[crazydecorator]

Hi

I think I recently saw an offer to try to beat a car hire quote, and as every penny counts I thought I'd see if anyone can help

Its for the middle 7 days of our holiday as we're staying on site so don't need the car the whole time. We have 2 small children (3.5 yrs and 11 months when we travel) so we need a reasonable size car with 4 doors. We need 2 drivers, all the insurances and 2 car seats. This is our second trip so we usually get a package including a sat nav as we don't know our way around yet (and it saves arguments in front of the kids over our map-reading skills )

using national's UK site we get the following for the enhanced plus GPS package

Pick up
Orlando, Disney Dolphin Resort

Drop off

Regarding the cost for infant and child seat, you would be better off going to Walmart and buying brand new ones - they will cost you a lot less.

I also think buying the Sat Nav at Walmart would be a cheaper option.
That way you have an excuse to go again in future years......just to make sure it still works!

just make sure you get the seats from walmart before you go and get the car.
have you tried Alamo brits always good for cars and price.

Or collect the car without the children....

I searched USCarHire for Alamo and they came out at the same price - as the OP wanted to beat the price, I didn't add the information
