Fly drive without picking up car

Anyone booked fly drive without collecting the car. We have everything booked but the flight and flydrive £350.00 cheaper than flight only for the same time and day

Can I ask where you search for fly/ drive flights please? I’ve tried googling them but they just come out as fly/ drive holidays. Thank you

How come you don’t take the car if it’s paid for?

For the purposes of ATOL and ABTA regulations a fly/drive package is classed as a "holiday" with the extra obligations that they impose over a flight only. For instance if you book a BA/Avis fly-drive then BA will send you an ATOL certificate which you don't get with just a flight. You can also, with BA fly-drive anyway, pay just a deposit on booking.

Not sure of all the legal Ts & Cs but searching for fly/drive will usually come up as a holiday.

As posted.
Mainly used as away to pay deposit only rather than diy as you pay upfront for flights.
Occasionally cheaper but generally more expensive.
BA flight and stick on cheapest hotel for night before flight works out cheapest for low deposit.

We didn’t collect the car either. Virgins cars come with only the most basic insurance. It is often cheaper to book a car elsewhere than it is to upgrade the Virgin insurance.
