Location - Hertz - MCO
Category Booked - Hertz Adrenaline V4 Car Supplied - Chevrolet Camaro SS Dates - 26th to 29th August Cost - £158 direct with Hertz I hired this as a second car for a few days for me and my son to have a bit of fun in. I was originally assigned a Challenger r/t but went straight to the garage and was given a Camaro SS easily within a few minutes, this is exactly what I wanted. It has a surprisingly large boot that could take a large and medium case but the back seats are unusable, I'm 6'2" and honestly there was NO legroom behind me. The car is quick, had leather heated seats, HUD, Android Uto and Apple Car Play. Edited at 03:25 PM. |

Alamo Brits
Location: Collected from Disney Dolphin Hotel
Category booked: Standard SUV Car supplied: GMC Arcadia Denali Duration: 12 x nights Cost: £301 Took the Magical Express to and from MCO so we didn’t need a very big car but Alamo Brits were offering a standard SUV for the same price as an intermediate SUV on the Alamo website! What we got was a GMC Arcadia which I have noticed being given as a Full Size SUV from some companies! Really nice vehicle and this ‘DENALI’ version was fully loaded with working Sat Nav, lane assist, rear camera, parking aids, heated and air cooled front seats, all the usual electric goodies, apple car play, electric remote tailgate, separate rear air con controls, leather interior etc. 2020 model with 13,000 miles on the clock. A 6 x seater with three rows of 2 x seats. Front seats Middle row Rear row Plenty of room in the back especially with the rear 2 x seats folded down. Really comfortable and the air con was brilliant - especially liked the cooled front seats. Lane assist and the warning lights in the wing mirrors is a really useful safety feature - it also even had a vibration warning in the drivers seat that let you know when you are close to objects when parking - vibrates on each side or front/back of seat. [APP]https://www.thedibb.co.uk/postImages/3814/2cc27f95c56b55.jpg[/APP Not 100% sure on the fuel economy but we did around 400 miles and cost $43 to fill up with fuel. Really great car and would love to have this vehicle again. Milly |

Category Booked - Luxury Car Supplied - Audi Q5 Quattro Dates - 1st September - 9th September 8 days £232 Booked through Andy at DFCH for luxury Cadillac or similar, no hard sell at counter asked if i wanted something bigger or sat nav said no just to pay for tank of gas, paper work given and out to garage. Helped by a nice guy only 1 caddy in line which he said had something wrong with it and gave me a choice of 2 identical Audi Q5 quattros. Ok car would rather have had the caddy. no working sat nav but had android which worked great with google maps. Edited at 06:43 PM. |

Location - Alamo via Brits guide link - Miami Airport
Category Booked - Premium Elite SUV Car Supplied - 2019 Discovery Dates - 21/09/19 - 1/10/19 £248 When we arrived at the Alamo garage they only had a choice of two cars in the Premium elite SUV section, a 2018 Infiniti QX80 and a 2019 Discovery, the Infiniti didn’t have working navigation or Apple CarPlay so it was an easy decision.

Place you picked the car up from:- MCO
Catergory of car hired:- Full Size SUV Make of car you got:- Infiniti QX80 Hire car company used: Alamo via DFCH When I arrived at the garrage they offered me the Nissan Armada or the Infiniti QX80 (This is listed as a luxury SUV) - opted for the QX80. Overall was very impressed with it, 5.6 litre V8 that drunk the fuel. Loads of room - has 6 seats but we had the back row down to make the boot bigger. Loads of gadgets - really liked the 360 overview camera - made parking so easy. Be careful with the hight though - only just got into a couple of multi-storey car parks. These were the best pics I have of it...
