Ba flights plus car help please
If we add the car to the flights with Avis am I correct that the insurance included is enough ie fully insured ? Sorry to sound dumb but never used them Before . Cheers

Hi. If you do flight + car all normal insurances are covered . only thing I’ve had to pay over the last 10 years has been for a flat battery (my fault) that cost me a $60 call out

Yep all included through ba/Avis flydrive. We’ve never had to pay for any repair works or breakdowns, manage to limp to an avid and they sort it all

The only warning I will give ref Avis is the fact that quite a few on here have had problems over the last 12 months due to Avis overcharging
The crux of the matter is BA have been slow pushing funds through to Avis and also Avis have sometimes alleged the voucher price doesn't cover the rental cost This leaves the customer to argue the toss at the counter - not good after a long flight! But, lets be honest all companies have issues including Alamo & Hertz etc. This is just a heads up from my reading of posts on this forum.

I have to say if the price was good I would still use Avis.
It's all down to relentless searching. I tend to use Alamo all the time but the difference between the 8 mostly used websites is insane. We are talking sometimes of a £600+ difference for the same size vehicle! Madness.

Can I ask what you class as the 8 most used? I have looked at uscarhire, auto europe, kayak, alamo brits and DFCH so far. What have I missed that you would look at? Price for next Nov's trip the last piece of the booking jigsaw. Alamo Brits coming up best so far for my dates and type of vehicle even after investing in Brits Guide 2019!
Thanks Tom. |

Fully insured, but be careful at the counter. They tried to add extra insurance charges and when I questioned it told me it's what I had booked. Nope! I'm fairly clued up but I was so mad at the thought that someone less clued up (or more tired/stressed from travelling) would be tricked into paying more.
This was at Sanford but no airport is immune from dodgy desk agents.
