You might want to try Andy at Discount Florida Car Hire - link in yellow banner above.

Used and recommended by scores of Dibbers including us - five times in the last 3 years

Just booked 4 weeks full size car for around £660 - paid for Standard free upgrade to Full Size using Alamo Max

Hi
I always try all the usual companies , AutoEurope,Virgin, Alamo Brits and DFCH. They all included the important insurances, with some omissions, and allow cancellation/ amendment. Most off the time I would choose the cheapest.

I'm sure that all third party brokers are offering it and maybe even Alamo Brits.

If you go on Andy's site for example you will see that he offers a number of companies. With Alamo at present you can book Alamo Max but the highest you can do with a car is Standard up to Full Size. In other words pay for a standard and get upgraded to full size. Same with SUVs but I can't recall the limit of highest upgrade, if you know what I mean

Hi
Booking Alamo Max gives a free Upgrade. Only applies UP to an intermediate SUV and standard car. Available with most of the Alamo brokers.
Alex
Much quicker than me Mick.

I would have been quicker but I was struggling to explain that the free upgrade stopped at a certain level.

Sorry - didn't my explanation in my post #6 above work?

Your countdown suggests around October so I've just done a dummy price and he's showing Alamo Max
