Totally agree. We've had 2 trips this year - DCL in September and New Year trip forthcoming.
September trip was for DH, myself, DS, DDIL and grandson so booked a full-size SUV to cope with buggy, cases, travel cot etc with Alamo through Andy at Discount Florida Car Hire for 15 nights - £1714 in April 2022. Kept checking and watched the price rise until about 6 weeks before when it started to drop. Kept cancelling (free) and rebooking until the cheapest price a month before we arrived - £960.
Booked our New Year trip car hire at the end of May: only 3 days but £263 for an Intermediate car. Again watched the price going up until a drop in July - £224. Again more price rises until the past couple of weeks - currently booked for £113 and don't expect it to drop any further but will keep checking.
Takes seconds to check on Andy's site: no deposit until full payment 6 weeks before the car hire date. Refunds appear on your card in a couple of days.
Mrs TT
do you have a link for Andy's site? i've never heard of it.
is your cruise in September the DVC cruise? That's the one i'll be on.
This past summer it was all 9 of us in two minivans that i managed to find for a steal. About £960 each for 31 days in 7 person minivans. As i said a steal. But i haven't found that again.
Anyway, this coming september it will just be me. I'm meeting my best friend from university for the DVC cruise (and some days before and after the cruise at WDW).
I'll be there for 4 days before my friend gets there so that i can do some power shopping.
She lives in the USA, so doesn't need to shop, but i definitely do (especially for 6' 7" hubbie who gets all of his clothes and shoes in the US).
That's why i'm getting there 4 days earlier (August 24th) so as not to bore her to tears in my shopping frenzy.
