Car Hire in Orlando/EUROPCAR

Hi there, I am looking to hire a car from MCO and I'm struggling to get a reasonable priced SUV for my dates (15th-29th Apr). The cheapest I can get is with EUROPCAR for £320. Has anyone any feedback on how it went with them, after reading the reviews I'm dubious?

Thank you.

Not heard of anyone on here who have used them... Probably because of all the negative reviews. I'm sure as you've looked in to them you'll have seen the rental is actually serviced by Advantage and not Europcar? They also use the same (expensive) tolling system as Dollar ($52.49 per week).

Would be interested to hear of anyone's experience with them.

Just fyi, midsize SUV with Alamo through myself is £407

OP. Good price quoted by Andy. I know exactly what I would do!
By the way Alamo Brits is a lot more expensive than Virgin as well so they are out of the equation.

I looked at them as well and was put off by the reviews. If they are using Dollar's "old" fleet then the cars must be falling apart! also, are you obliged to take the toll system package, or can you opt out?

Didn't realise they're using Dollars rejects? Dollar's fleet is bad enough with getting the hand me downs from Hertz. Can't imagine what they'd be like after being passed to Advantage!

You can opt out of their automated tolling system and pay in cash.

Sorry, maybe it's Hertz- I knew it was one of the larger firms. Our 2015 Hertz car last November was terrible so I would hate to see any older than that.

That's good to know, thanks Andy

Can't get anything approximating a reasonable price for car hire (that I am willing to pay)- even from DFCH- sorry! I have never paid (much) more than €200 p/w at any time of the year, for a 7 seater (or even on a glitch for an SUV 7 seater) ... best I can get (that isn't Advantage) is £447 from Alamo- which is coming in about €500 for a Dodge caravan
