Which car? advice please

We are going to Disney the last week in July and the first 2 weeks in August (23rd July-13th August), we are staying in a villa in Kissimmee and are wanting to pick the hire car up from the airport. Can anyone recommend which type of car would be most suitable for us? We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children) so it will have to be big enough to fit us all and 4 suitcases and 4 hand luggage. We will be travelling to Disney/Universal/Seaworld etc so would like one that doesnt guzzle fuel but is a nice solid car
Also can someone tell me what kind of price would be a good price for the 3 weeks?
Thanks guys

Normally I would advise an SUV but the prices have shot up. I have just booked a Full Size Saloon from Alamo/Brits £411 for three weeks. You pick from a row of cars so you can go with the best one for your needs. Currently the biggest trunk is on the Chevrolet Impala.

I would still say any SUV great for the kids to see out.

Two logical choices;
INT SUV
Full size Saloon.
Both are more than capable for your group SUV as more popular a bit more cash full size a little less.
You can move up or down groups down side squashed on run from airport and back but cost less ( moving down)
Nice big SUV or lux Saloon will be far better to drive have more toys and space costs more. (moving up)
I usually move up groups to what I am happy to pay but I am a petrolhead and not a practical person.
So choice is yours as always so stick to my advice Int SUV or fullsize.
And not what I would pick a LUX version of both.
NB. At a couple of bucks a gallon don't worry about gas/petrol cost in grand scheme is peanuts.

$V£ me thinks prices will not change a lot.
Cheap prices gained a few months ago are gone but those who buy/reserve early either bask in glory or repent for a while.
someone who did
