cant decide

Looking for a full size SUV this summer, and it is between floridacarhire.net and virgin holidays. Both companies use Alamo and as far as i can tell the insurance options for both suit me okay as I am the only driver, however Virgin are about £100 more expensive.

This should be a no brainer but I whilst I have used Virgin before, never used floridacarhire, although I think they are subsidiary of usrentacar.

What would you do, pay the extra for Virgin or go with someone never used before?

I thought Virgin used Alamo too? Haven't used the other company and haven't seen it mentioned on here, but I'd have a google and see what its like.

thanks for the replies. Usually I would have booked this by now with a thanks very much for the great price! However, I think that if something looks to good to be true...

For example the virgin price is around £350 cheaper than the same vehicle type for the same dates on Alamo/Brits.

Brits are all over the place this year. I suppose if you want peace of mind and a product you know you go with Virgin and think, well it's loads cheaper than Brits!
However an extra £100 is a lot. Decisions decisions!
