This is with Avis, through a BA fly drive, both Full Size SUV's (Tahoe or similar) and by splitting in to 2 bookings it's nearly £1000 difference!

I reckon there’s a reasonable chance you’ll get the same vehicle back again on the 20th!

Oh I know, that’s what I’m hoping 😂 Just made more sense as the car would just sit there for 3 days while we’re at Universal & with the parking charges, it was a good deal!

I have been looking at a split hire 9-11th Aug Miami to Disney Springs £95 and then 14-27th Disney Springs to Miami £355.

If I try and pick the car up on the 12th or 13th to 27th Aug it jumps to £1200! Very odd

Thanks for the heads up. Looking at Miami to Hard Rock on 1-2 Aug, then picking up 11-21 August. For the 2nd booking, we’ll be picking up after our Disney stay, but it’s over £200 cheaper to pick up from Hard Rock than Lake Buena Vista! I guess an Uber isn’t too bad from Yacht Club to Hard Rock. Just debating whether prices might drop a bit, or whether to take the plunge and book.

Airport rental locations usually inccur higher facility costs due to the very nature of where they are. Generally speaking if you can avoid buying / hiring anything from airports it's best.

I just booked my large van (12 seater) using this method for £818, 15th to 29th of July.

As always I always wonder about what insurance this covers, I did see a big list of exclusions (tyres etc) but this always seems to be the case

Agave any of you used holiday autos before?

We took the extra insurance on top…..trustpilot feedback good on the whole…fingers crossed 🙂

Another daft question potentially

I has me collecting car at the Saphire Falls resort

Can you do this if you don’t stay there?

I’m staying at lake buena vista resort and was going to take an Uber up to it on my first morning
