It’s the accountant in him you know we could buy a new Mustang insure it and store it for not much more than you were paying if we keep the Aygo
Yes I do but will 3 car seats fit in the back No but my golf clubs just might but we could look at something a bit bigger
An on going discussion shall we say
If you do consider buying a Fl motor you don't need an expensive tin box on wheels, as long as it gets you A to B owt will do, admittedly we had some front end suspension work on Tank but our neighbour sold us the old boy for $500, done deal!

It’s got to fit 3 car Seats think soccer mom van if he’s being realistic but if his golf clubs
Fit therest is workable
Our very first trip without kids GdKs ( oh the days ) I was relegated to the back seat of the convertible we had because the new golf clubs that I’d to hang on to were in the front seat if it rained they would have been out on the I4 somewhere believe me
Me if it gets from A to B has a wheel in each corner it’s a goer

Supposed to be going 16th August 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼. I’m booked with Andy. If all else fails and I can’t get a car roughly how much is it to use Lyft or Uber to the parks throughout the holiday? We are in a villa in champions gate. Could do with the car but reading this sounds like I need a back up plan?

I’m hoping that a mid-afternoon Wednesday flight in September with a pre-booked car will mean this is unlikely to happen to us. Fingers crossed anyway!

When I was at the desk this week everyone around me had done on line check in.

They had 4 cars out due to be returned but the customers had gone over time which according to the agent is happening a lot.

Hi Wendy, irrespective of who one books via, availability will become apparent at the supplier desk/garage. Each day motors come/go/removed from service, the agent may also be unaware until their key strokes offer up a motor.

Hi Sully, whilst it'll likely make no difference re availability, I can't see Alamo OLCI/bypass changing.
