As per Tel and Kel's post, the Group K is a convertible Mustang (1 normal sized case in boot and 1x case on rear seats, 2 passengers. )
Group Ks come at a premium in Florida as its a tourist car group, you will get more car for your money switching to a Group Z full size SUV. The Group L's, premium SUVs again come with a premium tag over a Full size group z SUV. (they are not always the same size, the group L's can be bigger in length, ie Tahoe to a Suburban which is just short of 1 meter longer.) Without going off topic, if theres more than 2 people travelling in a Group K, you are going to struggle for luggage space to and from the airport.

Dibbing with Tink

Is £400.90 for 17 days a good price for a group F Ford Escape or similar, that's what my BA voucher is worth?

Yes I think so. Mine was £371 for 15 days. Hertz and Alamo were at least £50 more.

Thank you so much Rick!
Had to upgrade to a Group S from Group W as we've increased our numbers. Ended up getting an extra £131 back! Really pleased |

I just did a little comparison with the Online "quote" and then rang straight up and got a telephone quote so I could see the difference between the 2 - seems to be circa £100 more on the online than phone quotes so gives a good indication on if you can get a saving or not.
Results for me were all for a Group D upgrade (3 weeks) to Group Z (Tahoe) £315 phone vs £419.10 Online to Group W (Ford Edge) £263 phone vs £361.02 Online to Group F (Ford Escape) £227 phone vs £321.42 Online to Group S (Traverse) £281 phone vs £379.41 online He was very helpful, very quick and gave me some advice on the different cars and also suggested if those prices were too high I ring up daily as said they can go up hundreds or down hundreds over night so to keep checking. |

Hi, just went on and modified my flydrive booking to upgrade it from a Chevrolet Cruze to a Tahoe, the original amount said £387.20 and now the new amount is £470. Do I just need to hand the BA voucher over to them at the desk and they will subtract the amount, and I just have to pay the extra £80 or so?
Any help would be appreciated! |

No you don't get a voucher, that's just showing you the amount that BA will pay directly to Avis.
The upgrade amount at the desk will almost certainly be more. You need to ring BA on 0344 493 0787 and select option 1 to change your booking (It seems to ring for ages before you get through to the menu option bit). Have your booking reference handy and the car group you want (Tahoe is Group Z) and just say you are looking for an upgrade price to Group Z and they will work it out for you. You will then either have the amount added to your balance (if you are not at the point where the final payment date has passed) or you will need to just pay the upgrade cost over the phone (if you are past the final balance due date) |

Thanks for your help!
As I've already modified the booking on avisba.com, do I just phone BA up and tell them the situation and that means I only have to pay the extra £83 or whatever? (I've already paid off the full balance of the flight + car) Edited at 01:04 PM. |

As per post one, i've never amended it via online only, always just used this process to give an indication on cost.
I think you will be best to ring BA or check your BA booking to see if the additional amount has now been added to your booking and your AVIS voucher on BA site has been updated to reflect the new car. You need the paperwork to detail the changes. without, i assume the booking will be out of sync.
