Hi looking at prices through discount car hire. Ł945 for 25 days, a 7 seater. Is this a good price? Also is silver insurance ok or do i need gold? ( that would up the price obvs)
Sorry this is for August 2022. Thanks

Only difference between the inclusive and gold is the number of drivers and fuel policy.
(Inclusive = 1 driver (+ spouse with Alamo). Collect & return full of fuel)
(Gold = 4 drivers and tank of fuel. Collect full, return empty).

If price drops after booking, you can amend the booking to the cheaper price. Price rises won't affect your booking once its made.

Great thanks. Regarding the pick up times etc. I dont have flights booked yet, not sure what times to put? Xx

Rental starts at time of collection, not the time on the booking. The important thing to remember is whatever time you collect the vehicle at, is the time you need to return it by to avoid entering a new 24hr block... no problem entering 4pm for collection and return and then when you arrive, collecting it at 9pm at night.

If you do choose Alamo through Andy (we always do

) don't forget to check in on line and you can skip the counter and go straight to the garage and pick your own car. At MCO, MIA and TPA anyway.

Andy will send you a link in an email and it's a 10 minute job. Just print off the bar code from the OLCI.

The website doesn't handle one way rentals with Alamo this early so to get a price, leave the collection & return location as Miami and then we can alter the drop off loction in the back end... However, unfortunately Alamo is very expensive (An extra Ł466) for your dates so worth leaving it with Hertz for now.
