Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had picked up an alamo midsize from Orlando International lately, and what it was?? Its listed as being an Chevrolet Equinox or similar and I was curious to know what the current line up is, as I am a bit of a geek like that and want to know what I could be driving (its the longest time we stand still, whilst I choose the car, but havent been out for a while and this is my first time driving!) Many Thanks.
We had a Toyota Rav4 - loads of space for luggage.
Most of the cars in the line-up were RAV4s, with the odd Kia (same size as RAV4 but can't remember the name) and one or two JEEPs which looked a lot bigger than the RAV4. Having not driven a midsize SUV before we choice the RAV4, which was fine for 2 of us. On one or two trips out we had 4 adults and a baby inside and this was a bit of a squash, so if the choice is the same next time I'd pick the jeep.

We have a midsize SUV with Thrifty from Tampa and it is a Ford Edge. Room for 4 large cases in the back and some space to squeeze more after our day at the outlets [msnwink]

Hi,
We hired an Equinox from Alimo in May. It is a good car. I posted photos of it in this car hire section at the beginning of June. You can search back and take a look.
I am using my phone to post this or I would have found a link for you.

Not sure but Roger would be able to confirm.
I've always use Alamo and have had no problems.

We booked an Alamo Mid size SUV from Sanford earlier this year. Supposed to be a Chevvy Equinox, but Alamo admitted they didn't have any left and after trying to talk us into a Minivan, they
eventually brought us a Toyota Highlander (which is normally their Standard SUV range).
The Highlander is a nice size with a fair bit of room behind the rear seats for 3 or 4 good size suitcases.
During our stay, I didn't see very many Equinox's on the roads so perhaps they were just building up their fleet. It does look to be a nice car.

I was watching a show on Florida the other day on Sky Two or Three i think.
They did a car rental thingy and i noticed that Alamo had alot of Chevvy's, Kia and Toyota's as there cars.
They seemed to have loads and loads Chevvy's in the Full Size section!!

Cheers mate [msnsmile]
We are looking for a larger size SUV to take five of us and most probably five cases. Any views?
Bounced ...
Any views would be of great assistance.
