Car hire April 22 so expensive

Everywhere I look is so expensive. Managed to get a really good deal April 19th - may 1st collection royal pacific drop off Orlando airport - BUT just booked tui flights 17th April - 1st may to Melbourne airport 🙈. All car hires I can find are now 3-4 times more than this 🤯 even a one day hire from Melbourne to Orlando is over £240 each way.
Anyone seen any good deals? Tempted to keep hire we’ve got and pay for taxi to and from Melbourne airport.

Yes deals do pop up. Every other thread for the last year has been about deals. You just have to keep checking as they don’t last long. Email Andy for his offline prices. A lot of us are booked with him at the moment.

Virgin is worth looking at for car hire too, we booked with them for next April, in December. We paid half of what was quoted anywhere else.

I'm seeing a 2 day hire Melbourne to MCO with Virgin Atlantic £147 for an Economy, £198 for a Full size. Loads of option and work around locations and prices on there.

All with Alamo.

I’ve spoken to Andy and I’m sorted. Moved collection / drop off to MLB and car hire now covers full 14 days in a 7 seater minivan for £770! Although far move than previous years a third of prices I’m seeing on line so big thumbs up to Andy 👍

Hi all,

Apologies for asking what may be common knowledge (I'm a noob) - Who's Andy?

We normally fly Virgin into MCO so know the airport, rentals and routes, but tried to keep the budget a little bit tighter with TUI, but now struggling to find a Minivan in Melbourne.

Andy is the owner of discount Florida car hire. Excellent customer service and prices are great.

discountcarhireflorida .co.uk is the website you need, Andy I believe is extremely busy at the moment so he may take a few days to get back to you. He has an extremely good reputation for getting you some great deals with car hire
