| Various threads on different forums recently have got me a thinking and it would be nice to see it all in one thread.
What car do you hire/choose, what class is it and what do you like about it?
What car would you not hire and why? |

that's the best thing about the Voyager we got a snooker Table in and Ice Hockey table together with taking all the back seats out , saved us $150 in deliver chargers ,  |

| It's a 7 seater for us as well. We are a family of 4 so we have plenty of room for the cases ( which is always one more going back than you came with!) and it's nice to be able to separte the kids when they are squabbling!!!!!!!

| As we normally travel with friends we hire a 8 seater. My little boy calls it the Scooby Doo Mystery machine.
We have hired a 7 seater and a covertable before but have to say that the convertable is not practical car for 4 people with luggage unless you travel very light as it has limited boot space. We hired it for 2 days but it was too cold to have the roof off at Christmas and it wasnt very fast. In fact the 7 seater had more pull/speed in it. |

| We got one of these when we arrived at MCO however we swapped it 7 days later for the convertable for two day then got a Dodge Grand caravan. Although the Town and Country and Dodge look similar the Town and country has alot better spec/drove better, or at least the one we had did.

| We drove the Town & Country all the way down to the Florida Keys as we spent a week there, and back to Orlando, It is a really comfy Vehicle, excellent on petrol too. Jane my wife who doesn't normally like driving abroad really liked it. We where really happy with ours. Our Inlaws who are going out in August are hiring one also on our recomendation through OV of course.
