Looking at the 2 websites in the op we can get annual cover with CWD included for about £55-£75. Is this right? Do we need anything else on top?

Cheers in advance
We never get anything else on top of that annual cover. The only thing we ever have to pay extra for is the fuel. So if you buy that cover..turn down everything..unless you want to prepay for fuel of course.

Thank you very much 😃 Will book one of them now. Seems shocking that they want £200 plus extra to buy direct than with a third party

When I go to alamo/brits for a price it mentions that I have to acknowledge I've got a copy of the "Brits Guide book" and have to show it at car pick-up. Does anyone know which guidebook this is? As it seems a big saving based on other Alamo quotes and I wouldn't want to get screwed over if the book is only ~£10 or something.

And can you use the skip the queue process i keep reading about if booking via this site?

Thanks

It's called A Brits Guide to Orlando and as with most tour guides they have a new version each year. Any copy will do, although I and from what I've seen posted 99% of other have never been asked to rpoduce a copy - especially if you do the skip the queue process.

And yes you can complete the skip the queue process if you book through /Brits just follow the advice published very kindly on here by Yorkshire_Dan (and others - thanks guys) and ask questions if it doesn't quite work first time - there's one or two work arounds posted that might solve any problems.

Thank you

I managed to find a PDF copy of the 2015 edition so will load that onto the ipad, hopefully that will suffice

Will check Yorkshire_Dan's guide.

Not long to go now until we get to choose our full-size vehicle at LAX. I'm hoping for a Chevy Impala, but not sure what to choose if that's not available. Passat and Optima are a bit boring, so don't really want either of those.
