Alamo Brits - MASSIVE price increase

[Guest]

We're off in 3 weeks and my Dad is just getting around to booking the hire car. 2 weeks ago, a 7 seater minivan with AlamoBrits was £660. Tonight it's £1395.44! When I go onto the Alamo site I can get it at a lower rate, not £660 but lower than £1400. I thought the Brit's site was supposed to be cheaper.

That sounds a bit steep

Have a look on Kayak etc...

... why leave booking so late? It usually costs more!

Try usrentacar. They are always cheaper than Alamo Brits for me (usually with Dollar)

Have a look at netflights.com.
Just booked our suv and the price was much better than Alamo/brits. Myself and DB have used them with no problems.

21 days in October for a 7 seat minivan seems to be £490 or £587 with 3 drivers and full tank of fuel.

The closer to your departure usually is higher with car-hire, but that is really, really high.
We only paid £338 for 16 nights for a 7 seater mini van. We travel in 4 weeks but did book ages ago with Alamo Brits.

Hope you find a rate you are happy with

Usrentacar are showing around £375 for 2 weeks in October (I tried 10-24 oct)

Don't. I've been on at him for weeks to get this done, I've organised everything else.

We always book the car late as we get the big expenses out of the way. I've not found it to go up a huge amount.

I went to book earlier today and had the same problem - just booked with SIXT for 10th Oct - 14 days, got at Intermediate SUV for £287
