There is no way I’m paying double. I’ve tried looking to pick up the car elsewhere and the price is not coming up much better.

To rent the car separately from the flights, the best I can get is with FLorida car rental and that’s Sixt at £1750. Add on flights and well, I’m back up to nearly £5000.

As a teacher, my dates are not very flexible either. I’m starting to think that I may not be going to Florida for a long time. 😭

Going without a car is not an option for us as we don’t stay in Disney. We’re all about the gulf coast, keys and national parks.

Anyone else having similar problems planning their next years holiday?

My wife is a teacher, so I feel your pain. We paid £2400 this year with BA on 26th Dec, for 3 adults, 2 children and an infant. And that's a fly drive. Same party going out in July is £5.5k.

Supply and demand they say, but I think I'll pass for now.
