Green Valley Resort - Florida Holiday Auto Hire Tips

On the surface it appeared a fantastic deal. If you bought a flight you got the hire car thrown in free; the idea of fly drives being. My first trip to Florida consisted of buying a UK Fly drive deal.

I had known there would be insurance to pay but did not comprehend it would be this much. I now realised that the free car was in not anyway free. The amount to secure the car in extras such as insurances seemed excessive, when we eventually arrived at the desk. We arrived at Orlando airport and was transported by bus to the off airport site to pick up our holiday auto.

There was very little difference between the extra insurance charges as a fly drive against had had I booked and paid for the hire car separately, after a great holiday I arrived home to compare my extra charges to normal hire charges and sure enough.

We also got the car we wanted at the price we could afford; we did not pay any more than taking a fly drive. This is exactly what I did the second time. For when I would return to the States, i vowed I would never buy a fly drive again and source my own car separately to ensure I could take advantage of any deals going.

We had ordered the right sized car for our party so we did nit take him up on his offer. Normally they offer 2 upgrades for the price of 1. In that every time you Visit Florida the person at the car hire desk will try to sell you an upgrade, there was one similarity though.

Including insurance, the salesman makes a phone call and sure enough we got a Mitsubishi Spyder for only 100 bucks more than the cheapest basic car. We would have considered it", "no if it had been around 100 dollars, we said. The salesman came back with the price of 360 dollars plus tax. "we would consider a convertible", we replied. " was the question. "What car would we like? But this time we said we may consider it if the price was right, when we arrived in Miami we go th customary trade up sales talk. We ordered the smallest and cheapest car available including insurance, the difference being, we ordered our car online as usual. To get the best deal possible, this time to Miami it was time to put everything I had learned from this holiday autos game, by the third trip.

Then that's 100 dollars on their bottom line for a car that's standing around not being used, if the salesman can get an extra 100 dollars more, especially in the holiday areas of the USA have an abundance of autos standing in storage, i have now come to the conclusion that the hire car companies.

! At least 3 upgrades free, in the car park stood a Dodge Magnum! I was so tired I would have accepted a motorbike so we took the keys and left. Because of the wait, he told us he had given us a free upgrade. He could tell by our faces we were tired and totally sick of the wait. 45 minutes later we eventually get to the hire car desk. We arrived late into Tampa airport to find ourselves standing in a long queue to pick up our car. But this time it worked even better, we decided to do this again, this time to Tampa airport, on our final trip to Florida.

I can't wait for the next time! But it does show the flexibility these car rental firms have, i am not expecting this to happen again.
