I have used the site for donkeys years. That and a stand alone hire from Virgin Atlantic who use Alamo.

Andy who advertises on here gives a great service and offers various driver packages from 1 to 4 and also uses other companies not just Alamo

That's great - thanks!
Does the alamo brits price include the road tolls pass etc?

holidayauto.com have the same car from Dollar for £327, but I wonder if they have hidden fees?

[Mr Tom Morrow]

If you want to sail through the tolls and be billed later Alamo is one of the best.
They will charge you a flat fee for your 16 day hire of $19.75 admin plus tolls.

Dollar you have to opt into their scheme and pay $52.49 per week so that $104.98. Plus $10.49 a day for the other 2 days. So $125.96 in total
However that includes all tolls as it's a toll inclusive package.

Any idea how much the tolls would be for a trip from miam to Orlando? (Lake Bueno Vista area).

Time for my photos Tom?

Mr M Mouse.

I can't add anything to Mr Morrow's excellent advice but I do seem to have a bit of a reputation on here over the years for my toll plaza photos. To the best of my knowledge apart from a section of the Turnpike near Miami in Dade County and, for some reason, some roads in downtown Tampa there are no cashless tolls in Florida. There are however some unmanned ones. You can easily avoid the Turnpike though by grabbing the US27 from near MIA and this takes you to the WDW area toll free.

There are absolutely no rights or wrongs as to whether you use toll pass schemes or pay cash as you go. Slow down for 30 seconds and pay cash or zoom through the Sunpass lane and pay an admin fee plus the toll charge (except for Dollar). Totally a personal choice.

This is a typical toll plaza on the main carriageway (actually the first one on 417 south as you leave MCO). If you want to pay cash just keep right, give them no bigger than a $20 bill and ask for change.

If you choose to pay cash most (if not all) of the plazas on the exit ramps will be unmanned and you'll need cash to throw in the basket. This one at j2 of the 417. Had gone up to $1 in November so you'll need four quarters.
