BA Fly drives are often the most competitive in regular Dibber's experience. They partner with Avis and all the cars are fully insured unlike a lot of "free" car offers.

Some Dibbers have even said that they've found BA fly drive cheaper than the flight alone. Another advantage is that you only need a deposit not the full payment when you book.

Just go on to the BA web site. Not sure if there's any "clever" time to book though.

As Mick says - BA website for their flydrives. They seem to have been good value in the last few weeks into Miami especially.

You could try the usual skyscanner search for best value flights with BA and then go on their website and see how that compares adding in the car.

i don't think the year in advance restriction is purely BA. I thought Virgin Holidays (Who I have booked with) were subject to the same restrictions.
