Car Hire

[Debbied]

We have a M.E transfer from the airport and are staying on site for the first 5 days so don't need a car. We wish to hire a car for the next 7 days of our trip and would like to pick up the car at either The Buena vista Palace or Downtown disney, would it be cheaper to hire direct or take Virgins offer for the free car hire, when I asked Virgin they said I would have to go to either MCO or I-Drive to collect a car from dollar, this would mean an extra cab fare.

Point to note - we found that Virgin's "Free" car is not that free at all. The cost of the inclusive insurance with Virgin is almost as much as the fully inclusive rental price with Dollar, but you would get a better category of car (Virgin include a Compact car, all others are upgraded to at a cost).

My advice would be to get a quote from Dollar and compare it to the Virgin add-on insurance. Also think about the size of car you need too.

I'm not aware of an option to collect a hire car from Downtown Disney. I'd suggest getting an online quote from www.usrentacar.co.uk - they have the Buena Vista Palace as a pick-up location. As Rascal1003 says, the VH "free" car hire isn't really free once you've added on the essential extras.
