one way car hire

k1971 · 19 Jan 20, 08:21 PM

We've got a tentative plan to do New York for a few days and then pick up a car and do a road trip down to Orlando.
The prices are astronomical! �2k for the end of June.
Going the other way is �530 for the same class of car.

Has anyone got any ideas why it's so expensive going south one way?

I have no idea on them prices but we have a car from Washington DC to Tennessee for 13 nights and it�s �700

Are there any locations between NY and Orlando that don't charge a one-way fee? you could then split your booking into multiple vehicles (even offer at keep the vehicle you have at the hire-place but under a different booking reference).

Firstly are you sure there is a 1 way drop fee in your 2nd quote as that sounds really cheap to me.
Normally the drop fee tends to be in small print and not very obvious.

I had a quick look with Virgin for an Int SUV 27th June from NY drop 10th July in WDW and it's �682 - however there is a $300 drop fee.

What are your dates?
