has anyone hired an 8 seater 4x4 through Alamo

[Frostie13]

hello every one

has any one ever hired a 8 seater 4x4 (ie ford expedition) through Alamo or virgin ?
we've hired the 7 seat Chevrolet Suburban LTZ in Florida last time we were there and we absolutely loved it but now were going back as a group of 8 and the only car offered was the Toyota Sienna or similar

but we having had the big 4x4 we really would prefer some thing like that and not a people carrier as the 8 seater that virgin offered has no boot space at all so we wanted the 4x4 as the suburban had a huge boot

thanks in advance
Nick

Had a Ford Expedition in 2015 - we were a party of 6 so plenty of space for people but I was using a mobility scooter and with all the seats in place there was space for the scooter in the boot. However, to and from the airport the luggage (without the scooter) was a bit of a squeeze!

Alamo do have the premium 8 seater SUV however it was removed from the online prices last year for some reason. We do have a price through our offline system but it ain't cheap.

I’ve just noticed that the virgin Atlantic alamo site is now listing the suburban 8 seater but it’s around £1150 for 13 nights

Remember if you do get 2019 Expedition most rental ones are 2WD not 4x4.
Best not find that out on a twisty off ramp in the wet
Also check the Suburban as they can be 2wd also.
