Car hire - minivan

I have been searching for a 3 week rental (Aug-Sep 2014), pick up MCO and the best price I have found is £510. I need a minivan as there are 6 of us (2 adults, 4 kids) but wondered if this was a reasonable price?

I have seen 5 seater cars much cheaper than this (:angry::angry but wondered if anyone had found cheaper deals than this?

Many thanks

sounds like a decent price, who is it with.
We are going July 11th for 3 weeks and I think outs is about £560.

You do realise there is very little baggage space at the back so beware re cases etc to and from the airport

I've just booked for Christmas this year, and paid £650 for the same van, so it would seem that's a decent enough price

Sounds about right. We paid £342 for a 7 seat minivan for 2 weeks next October.

Thanks for all the replies,

Best price was Arguscarhire.com and I have just discovered there is 7% on topcashback so brings price down to around £480!
