Car Hire October 2019
Anyone else finding the prices crazy this year... Always book a people carrier (can’t go smaller) but most I’ve ever paid is £437 for 16 days & have usually booked by end of March. Been looking since last November & found nothing less than £590 yet & that’s with Avis using a discount code that I use every year

Where previously advice had been to book over 6 months out.
I found that this year, I didn't get an acceptable price for our Rental in June until into February. Fluctuations have been crazy, first search was £715 in September. Eventually got booked at £516 in Feb. Then dropped a few times to £457. It's a minefield with Supply & Demand a big factor. Booking through someone like Andy-DFCH for free amendments and monitoring prices is maybe the way forward.

Finding it frustrating for the first time in 10 years, but think I’ll just have to keep monitoring!

Hi 🤗,
Yes I feel your pain! The prices are crazy, we are looking for a full sive SUV, we had one in October 2017 but at the moment prices for the same time this year are at least triple what we paid then. We are doing exactly what you are doing... monitoring regularly and hoping for a substantial drop in price! |

Getting fed up trawling everyday, even in the middle of night if i'm awake in hope of a blip We tend to use Avis, as have code that we got off Dibb 7 years ago and is still valid every year W300019... We have never been asked & we always prepay so we literally just walk to garage & get car..

Thanks for sharing the code... we’ve always used Alamo but should be looking at all companies really... here’s hoping we get that deal!

OP - I can relate to that, going there in a week and only found a decent price about a month ago. Going again on November and expect the same(getting decent price closer to the date).
Things are not as they were any more...

We are going on the 28th October and got an amazing price on a Ford Explorer via BA flying into Fort Lauderdale, it worked out just under £300 for 15 days

Yep, I’ve played the “well in advance” game for 9 years now & this is the first time that it has not worked & other Dibbers appear to be experiencing that
