I had a look at that but couldn’t get the car size we wanted for a better price than the one I have booked through Costco. It’s a great deal for the non-SUV cars though.

Thought it was best to pounce on it as prices seem so volatile!

What's the dates in August? Can't get anything close to that with Holiday Autos for Hard Rock pickup.

19/8 drop off MCO 30/8…each time I went in the price seemed to change. At one point 370 then 15 minutes later 1000 plus then back down again so I just jumped on it as it’s fully refundable….On the same search Hertz were also coming up really low for International Drive pick up but again up to a 1000 odd for MCO pick up……

I've just booked a full sized car from Hard Rock for 8 days in December - £262.

Thanks for the heads up.

Same from any airport (we are flying into Tampa) at the moment.

As it stands I'm booking 1 day hire from airport to Orlando (cheaper than taxi/uber), then pick-up another one locally in Orlando for the rest.

Strangely the Orlando to TPA isn't affected by the same price hike, only when coming from an airport.

We've split our car hire in 2

1 - Pick up Miami Airport 17th August
Drop off Hard Rock Hotel 18th August

2 - Pick up Hard Rock Hotel 20th August
Drop off Tampa airport 5th September.

This is with Avis, through a BA fly drive, both Full Size SUV's (Tahoe or similar) and by splitting in to 2 bookings it's nearly £1000 difference!
