Recomendations for Car Hire

[snookhams]

I am requesting this on behalf of a colleague who travel at the end of October and is looking for car hire. They would like a company that can offer vehicles with DVD players / SAT Nav as standard! any help would be appreciated.

Hi

I have no idea on any companies that offer this as standard. Perhaps someone can help you. I would have a look at www.yescarhire.com www.opodo.co.uk and www.airlinetwork.co.uk

To see if they offer free upgrades or would at least upgrade for free if you try and play these companies against each other. Good luck.

I use Airline network/Dollar who are excellent but sat nav is not an option.
Someone told me the other day Hertz offer it so I just checked and compared the price for our Xmas trip.
I paid £220 for full size car 11 nights Platinum Insurance with Airnet
Hertz.com for same size car with satnav ($89.55) added, total $1156 without top up insurance.
Maybe there are some codes out there but at that price I would want about 60% discount. It would be cheaper to take satnav with you as we did last month, Only an ipaq PDA with GPS and TomTom software but it was great.

Which rental company are you likely to get if you use www.airline-network.co.uk for Orlando International.
It has the logos for Dollar, Budget and Thifty but doesn't say which they will use. I would prefer Dollar as I like the look of the full size Dodge Magnum as a possible choice.

The only company they have ever sold us is Dollar after using them 10 times.
I always get Full size 2 door, Never paid for 4 door as they only supply 4 door full size cars. I have always had either a Ford Taurus or A Dodge Intrepid Except last Xmas They gave me a Charger which was nicest car I have driven(a lot nicer than my £25K BMW at home) http://www.dodge.com/autoshow/charger/index.html
I have never seen the Magnum, which I think is the Estate version of the Charger.
Have you seen it on a list as full size car? I would say its Premium but not sure. Maybe if you pay for 4 door there is more of a chance. Good luck getting it

Pre-bookable satnav is avaiable for £5 a day with Dollar. Hertz prestige selection rents out luxury cars with satnav included, £399 for a Jag S-Type, £439 for an XJ8 and £549 for a Hummer H2. All prices are for a week.
