Is this a good price for Sept 2020 BA fly drive?

Looking at first two weeks [15 days actually] of Sept 2020 for 3 x adults

LGW - MCO direct flights
Group F - ford escape (or similar)
Price £1415.00 (£471 pp)

Never been at this time of year before so not sure if this is reasonable?
Am I likely to get it cheaper holding off for a sale?

Many thanks

I personally think this is a good price..

Take away what the cost of the car would have been separately (roughly £350) you're looking at £355 pp, that's really good.

I did a flydrive quote this morning 2 adults 2 weeks in Sept and it came out at something like £1,400

I'm not going, I was just intrigued as we will probably go Sept 2021

I got the similar with the searches I was doing for the beginning of Sept 2020, odd.

OP I'd book at that price personally.

Our return flight is released tomorrow however doing searches for the end of sept (available dates) for LGW-MCO are around £500 more than LGW-TPA meaning I'll take the 1 hour and half drive over spending £500 more just to fly into MCO. Plus it gives us a good reason on the day we fly home to stop into Busch Gardens as we originally wouldn't have had a chance when we were booked with TC.

Strange. Forgot to add that was with the lowest group car, i didn't even look how much the Ford Edge package was!

Glad you've found a route that works. I'd fly into Tampa for that price difference too!

Unfortunately, by the time work had confirmed the time off, the above deal had gone.

However, I'm pleased to say that having moved the dates slightly, we are now booked.

3 Sept - 17 Sept 2020
3 x Adult flights Direct LGW - MCO
Group W Ford Edge (for the duration)
Total cost £1402

Many thanks to those that responded yesterday.
