Hi
Have been the best for us the last three years and have found their cars to be newer and cleaner than Dollar as well as a better service
Regards
Rob

More often than not I find Alamo Brits cheapest mainly because im looking for more than one driver. This year they are cheapest again - £257 for an Int SUV for 14 days.

We are looking at hiring one just for a few days. We are staying in disney so only need it for 4 days at the most. I have heard horror stories of car hire being cheap but having to pay high insurance costs when you pick the car up. Is this true, or is the price you see the price you pay.

With Alamo Brits the insurance is all inclusive, so the price you see when you book is what you pay. We have used them the last few years and they have been great. Plus the price came down last year after we booked, so we cancelled for free and re-booked at the cheaper price .

You just have to be smart about it and read WHAT IS INCLUDED in the hire price. The ones you want to book with will say things like insurance, taxes etc are included.

You just have to check around and see which company has the best offer for your dates. It could be Alamo brits...could be rentalcars.com etc...

Looking for Minivan from Miami and the prices via the Brits code for Alamo are the best...
They have consistently worked out cheapest for us over the last few years.

Have booked Alamo/Brits quite a few times, always worked out fine. Extra drivers free and you can bring the car back full of fuel to avoid extra costs. They do try to sell you extras, but if you join Alamo Insiders which is free it avoids all the queues...

If you book with Alamo Brits in most cases they are one of the cheapest and you can book with confidence from a good renter. This means more to me than saving a few pounds.

Sorry but saving a few pounds is one thing but look at the price difference in my case...if I was to use Alamo Brits instead of Auto Europe






AutoEurope



I will however keep an eye on prices but I doubt it will go around the £300 mark for an Suv that I got back in June.
