Another 7 seater from Alamo at Sanford in June an Uplander, nice car with automatic sliding side doors, DVD player. Seats were 2-2-3 with a split folding rear seat. It was easy on fuel we didn't fill up in the whole 2 weeks!

We hired a compact car from Dollar at Sanford - this was the one assigned with our fly drive. It was a Dodge Caliber
It was very ugly, but it served us well and it took 4 big bags, plus a small pushchair on the return journey (I did take photos on the last day but I seem to have lost them from my camera... Fortunately all the ones from the previous days were on a different card.)

Sorry not the best pics but I've just uploaded a few quick after my first day back in work
Place - Orlando international airport Company - Dollar via Airline Network Category - hired a minivan but upgraded for $15 a day as an xmas treat no hard sales what so ever I even nagged the sales guy to give me a price he couldn't understand why I wanted a Durango as he could offer us a minivan with leather and dvd's etc (I didn't realise that they could access their computer screens to even tell you the colours and spec etc ... a real bonus for me anyway...sad but true) Make - Dodge Durango with full leather and lots of electronic gadgets plus it was a dream to drive ... loved it. 8 seats and the back row folded down to allow extra space for luggage ... much better than the 7 seater suv we had from Alamo earlier in the year. Still think that minivans are good value for money though. |

When:- July 07
Place you picked the car up from:- Orlando International Airport Make of car you got:- Hummer Hire car company used:- Alamo While it was great to drive a Hummer, I must admit that it was quite bland inside. There were only four of us and it was just big enough for us all. Kids had alot of room in the back and boot was quite large. Hard to run at 15 mpg though. [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]
