Oct/Nov Help please for Hotel,Car hire and tickets.

[THE DENTIST]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for hotels in Miami- nice one if good deals possible.
I then need to hire a car at Miami and return to Orlando airport- i've checked that the price at alamo is no extra for doing this but is there a way of getting a better hire deal for 15 days?

With tickets,

I'll have about 11 days and want to spend time at all parks incl Busch Gdns, Seaworld, Univ and Disney. Dreams have this $99.99 deal for one week at the Univ parks but then i'd need seperate tkts for Seaworld and Busch.

Also what tkt would i get for Disney parks?

I really need to know the best combination to save some money.



Thanks,


Excited but careful.

I would try www.carhireflorida.net for the car hire, Elle always trys to price match when I book.

On another note, does anyone have a email address for yescarhire ? A friend of mine has had a problem but cant find an email address anywhere on the site.

How long are you staying in Miami for? Just the one night?

Have a look at usrentacar.com they have some good deals.

If you're going for 11 days and want to visit the other parks, you'd only need a 7 day Disney pass. I would look at magic your way.

You could either but your other tickets separately, which I think may be the cheaper option, or get the Orlando flexticket.

As hazel has posted try Elle and Tims site or Usrentacar.co.uk, both very good rates. I am using Budget thru Usrentacar for one way rental to Port Canaveral from Tampa airport in August with no extra fees.

The Universal deal is very good, for Seaworld/Busch they do a 14 day unlimited ticket for $89.95, or add Aquatica for another $35 http://www.seaworld.com/Tickets/Visitors.aspx
Other option is a flex ticket, you would have to compare with which parke you want but I doubt they are cheaper than above prices.

Disney all depends how many days, if its only 2 or 3 days you might not get much better than gate price, more days with Disney cheaper it gets, not great for just a few days.

Sorry no idea about Miami hotels, never been but sites to check www.great4hotels.com (if you find anything on here I have a £25 code you should be able to use if booking is over £60) also try travelsupermarket.com

Post again if you need anymore help.

Thanks wayneg and madmum,

I've checked out some hotels in miami and orlando. Should i buy m tickets asap or wait for offers? Same with hotels? Where would you recommend off-site in orlando in lake buena vista area ideally 4* or is 3* also good?

Have you used priceline or hotwire?

Cheers

For tickets I doubt the Universal or Seaworld deals will get any better but there is always a chance they will offer something.
LBV hotel I like Courtyard by Marriott on Palm Parkway, stayed there twice. Just looked for end of Oct for a week, £250 less £25 code if still works, £225 or £32/night. There are others cheaper and incl breakfast like Country Inn & Suites LBV, we were there last week for 2nd time, £219 less £25 = £194 or £28/night not quite as nice as courtyard but we have enjoyed both trips there. If you want a little more space 2 bed aprt at Cypress Pointe LBV £291 less £25 = £266 or £38/night. Loads of choice.
Never used Priceline or Hotwire, with tax & fees they add I have never found them worthwhile using, along with not knowing 100% which hotel you get, although I think there are sites to help know what you will get.
