Post your Car Hire Pictures - *Pictures only Please*

We need your help Dibbers

I have noticed a lot of threads lately that are asking what size of car do we need, what make of car have you hired etc etc.

So could I ask Dibbers that are going on holiday to take pictures of their hire cars.
Something along the lines of this:-

Place you picked the car up from:-
Catergory of car hired:-
Make of car you got:-
Hire car company used:-

Picture 1 Front of the car

Picture 2 inside of the car

Picture 3 boot/trunk of the car

Also it would be good if you could take a photo with all the luggage packed, like a before and after.
I know I am asking alot, but it would help members in choosing the right car for their trip.

Thank you.

What a great idea!

Here is mine.

When: Oct 05
Car ordered: Intermediate via Virgin Holidays
Rental Company: Dollar
Upgrade: Offered a choice of vehicles (inc convertibles and luxury) for a flat rate of $15 per day.
Actual Car taken: Jeep Liberty

Suitable for: 2 adults & 2 children comfortably (4 adults at a push)

3 cases, 2 large holdalls and a Mamas & Papas Pliko buggy (umbrella fold)





Sorry the pictures arent fantastic (my 5 year old took them!) but you get the idea of size!

Ok, heres our 7 seater SUV.

There was only 4 of us so loads of room when we went out in the day, however with all 3 large cases and large holdall, hand luggage and a buggy it was just right for getting back to the airport.

Picked up from-Airport(not sure which one )
rented from- Dollar.
Make- not sure .

We had a chevy suburban last October. We were booked for a 7 seater minvan, but got an upgrade to this. It was a 7 seater - 2 in front, 3 in middle and 2 in back, but had a huge boot. There were 7 of us, and fitted our luggage no problem, and we had a lot of luggage Picked up from MCO through Alamo.

We had a PT Cruiser in Jan. We booked an intermediate as we weren't going to do much driving, as we were staying at the Poly.
Paul missed having a big car (even though there's just two of us) and we both found it a bit 'sit up and beg'.
Ok for short trips but didn't really float my boat and I think it would be a tight squeeze for families.
