Ok here is the story...
Last March DW, DD & her friend and DMIL and myself went to Florida and Disney World. Last year we had a van and the trip was great. We live in Northern Ontario so it is a full two day drive but we bought a TV/VCR Combo for the van and it made the time pass.
Anyway here is the problem this summer we traded in our van for a Ford Taurus. We are going back to Disney World this March and we were only planning on 4 persons going, me, DW, DD and another friend but lately my wife has been hinting that my MIL would like to come back this year with us. I have no problem with this other than there is no way we can fit five people in a Ford Taurus for the drive down and back. Also we have rented a 4 bedroom house so accomodations are no problem. Oh did I mention DD and friend are both 18 years old so it's not like they are little LOL.
So I told DW that I would look into possibly renting a van for the trip. So far I have stopped at only one place and inquired about renting a van for 12 days and driving to Florida....they quoted me $2100.00 !!!!
Is this normal?
Is there anyone out there from the Northern Ontario, Sault/Sudbury area that knows a reasonable place to rent a van that doesn't cost as much as the entire trip itself.
Or is there anyone who has rented a van recently and can give me an idea of what I should be paying.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
