Full Size SUV -

Looking around at all the hire car options for a Full Size SUV.. Best price im seeing is around £38 a day which is £612 over 16 days with Alamo Brits in October from MCO.

Looking back at my past bookings this is double what we have paid before, admittedly for a Standard SUV and a Luxury Fullsize car.

Understand prices have gone up etc from all the reading I have done and checked all the compare broker sites...

Guess the key question is what are the chances of booking a Standard SUV and driving away in a Full Size.. (Last time at Sanford the selection was so poor! )

Price wise... is £38 a day acceptable for a Full Size SUV ?

The last 3 years we have had full size SUVs and only paid around £650 so about £30 a day. This is for July/Aug though. This year we are struggling to get under £1000! Very expensive. Think we will end up booking a standard SUV because £1000 is just too much to spend hiring a car!

We usually have a Fullsize but agree prices seem high this year. We have booked a standard SUV for our trip in November just the 2 of us so will be plenty big enough,we paid £452 with VA (Alamo) for 2 weeks.

In August 2015 we paid £500 for a full size SUV for 19 days. So £26 a day. Prices have gone up though. That was with Alamo Brits and I stalked the site for many months to get that price. I saw it as high as £1,000 at times but never lower. That's a big increase for 2 years though.
