Another one here that has dilly dallied over car hire at end July,beginning of August. Can't remember actual prices before
Christmas but definitely gone up a fair bit.
We are looking for SUV or Dodge Caravan. Alamo via Expedia is coming up at best price but doesn't give much info re:insurance.
Anyone booked via Expedia - good or bad ?

We're still trying to find cheaper at the moment cheapest is 445 with VA. 16 days 19 August standard suv. Would have really liked to pay deposit only though so still looking

I've been looking since Oct and need 28 days rental for full size ideally from 28/7-25/8. Prices gone up by £200 with Alamo Brits I'm gutted. They dropped by £50 in Nov and I should have booked then! Need 2 drivers so Off to check virgin now

Alamo via AutoEurope, pickup & dropoff MCO
7 seater minivan
18 days for £402 (initially booked on 5/10/15 then 3 weeks later price dropped so called them & they refunded the difference)
Extras: None needed as I have a free tank of fuel & extra driver promise following an issue with Alamo last year.

I know I bagged a good deal & with the free extras I'm over the moon
I watched prices all summer & best price I could find was about £520 with US Rentacar until I found this deal.
I have checked AutoEurope a few times since & the price is either nowhere near or they are not offering Alamo!
Good luck to all those who are still looking
Cheers, Les

thats a good price. Does it make any difference if you book alamo through a 3rd party? rather than direct with alamo? thanks

Alamo standard SUV, 21 days from 1/7/16 pick up at MCO £577. Booked with alamo brits, so includes extra driver. Booked in August 15 and fully paid.

3 weeks last year for a week earlier in an intermediate SUV was £404!

Just did a new quote for 2016 and it's now £890 instead of £577!

That seems really cheap, maybe Tampa is cheaper for pick up, my price of £607 (posted earlier) seemed good value, checked yesterday and almost £1000 now for 23 days
