Yup. It usually costs more to hire a minivan.

You mentioned about extra cover that you take out to cover lockouts, glass etc can I ask who do you take that out with?

Thanks

Thanks Glad it helps.

Yes, we personally think it's a good thing to have
We use Questor. We buy the annual policy as we travel a few times a year. It's £50 a year for the worldwide policy which also covers Europe in case you hire a car for a minibreak etc. but they also offer a one time trip policy but in our case it has always been worth it to get the annual.

You can get 15% off if you enter the code MSE2072 (code exp. 12/14) towards the end of the booking/purchase.

They will email a voucher and just print it out and KEEP it with your car hire voucher.

Great thread nordictat2girl

We fly into MCO in 2 weeks time. Car is booked through Alamo (midsize SUV). What car would you recommend for long periods of driving (we're heading to the Keys for a few days). There's only 2 of us - driver is 6'6. Are we better upgrading to a standard SUV?

Its for 5 weeks and know I had a price of around £600 all in for them with Ebookers when they had a deal on with a 10% code... do these happen often, but was told that there are often voucher codes or deals through quidco. The car isn't for me! Thanks though.

Just done a quick quote on this year prices as they don't go that far in advance and a Rav4 for 5 weeks coming back Xmas eve all inclusive is coming in at £637 with 6.5% back = £42, bringing to under £600 then if theres a 10% code off soon, I will let them know to book then! Thank you.

Thank you

Since it's only the 2 of you...he can surely put the seat all the way back and you could upgrade to a standard but not too much difference in leg room so just stay with the Suv you have. It should be good for the long journey Have a great time in the Keys..lucky you!

Well we don't normally book a car til about the 5 month mark but that's just us or well since I do all the booking I guess I should say when I book lol.
Quidco does have special offers sometimes when booking car hire so do keep an eye out and of course if I come across a sale...I will post it

HI nordictat2girl
Really great thread, has been really helpful to me esp the pictures and the site links.
Can i ask based on ur experience, There are 4 adults and our DD of 17 months, we are thinking about a mini van as we will have a pram and 3 suitcases going and the pram and 5 large suitcases coming back looking at the pics is this the best car to go for for luggage space or is there a smaller one we could get?

Also on hiring car seats what are they like shes in a maxi cosy 20kg+ one at the minute?
