Help with Car choice?

Bertiebear · 13 Feb 18, 03:49 PM

We’ve booked with alamo through Virgin. Paid for Standard Sante Fe or similar. I’ve had a look at the fleet list and wondering what’s the best to go for? Two Adults and Two children. In 2016 we somehow managed to get a Dodge Durango and loved it. Not quite sure how that happened but wasn’t charged extra she just told us where to go and we followed. Obviously I’m not expecting any upgrades again so I’m looking at what would be the best choice in the Standard category? All dependant on what’s the line of course. Thank you.

In October we had a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I really want full leather seats so I wizz up the row checking for that. Then I narrow it down by age of the car and mileage. That's why we picked the Jeep.
Nice car, not that I drove it as my Son had the keys away.

Thanks Tom. That’s a car I’ve always fancied here so that’s a good shout. With its being August I’m just hoping there will be a reasonable amount of choice. How do you find the choice on your August trips?

I know people say they struggle to find many cars in the row but in all our years of going I never have.

We tend to hit the garage circa 5.30pm ish as we like the 1.00pm flight out of LGW.
It always eems full of cars and sometimes overfull and cars jammed everywhere as they keep bringing them in.

I'm a firm believer in a tip for one of the Guys to bring me a newish car from National next door but in the class I paid for. National serves the business user more so has better and newer cars I find.
