I am airline staff and mostly even a good 'airline discount' dosn't beat these prices. Also, they are so flexible with no charges for changes which many companies will do

Personally I don't find www.floridahire.com any cheaper than the other car rental companies.
I need a 7 seater minivan for 11 days next April. Using floridahire Dollar quoted me 316 GBP and Alamo quoted 340 GBP. I have a Hertz Gold Club membership so I tried Hertz, and they quoted 487 Euros (329 GBP) so pretty much bang in the middle of the other two quotes. As I get points using my Hertz account, I booked with them. I know Dollar/Alamo include a tank of fuel, but that's not a huge amount on 300+ pounds, and I don't need unlimited drivers.
I'm not saying that floridahire is not good, or even the cheapest for some bookings, I'm just saying you should look around. As with airlines, the biggest names are not always the most expensive.

As well as the fact we are still cheaper than Hertz based on your quotes, bear in mind the tank of fuel on a 7 seater will be charged at around $80 from Hertz (approx £44) so that's already £57 more than our price with Dollar. I appreciate that your main factor however was the fact you earn points from Hertz, so that would likely explain the reason for you preferring to spend more.
Then take in to account the other things we include in our price (I'm not saying Hertz dont include these, as I am not sure of the package you have). We only require £25 deposit, then the balance shortly before you travel, price includes excess waiver, cancellation and amendment protection and also use of the Dollar Express service etc.
It sounds like you dont need extra drivers, but Dollar also include a second driver in with their Silver package from us and unlimited drivers on the Gold package.
It's possible there may be the odd cheaper quote elsewhere, but you also need to look at what exactly is included, and the quality of the rental company used (e.g. we can offer certain other rental companies who maybe margially cheaper, and we'd make more money, but we know the service is not so good).

Dollar was cheaper, Alamo were more expensive.
However, I agree absolutely with your comments, and there have been times when I've found that floridahire are the cheapest. All I wanted to point out was that people should look around - deals change fast in this business, and what was cheapest last time might not necessarily be so this time. People were making comments that effectively amounted to "it's not possible to get car hire cheaper than floridahire" and in some cases I don't think that's true. But human nature means people tend to stick with what they know, and feel comfortable with.
I work in the global reservations industry, so my access to what deals are out there is probably better than most peoples, and you'd be surprised at what deals you can find if you look around sometimes.

We've used the link above ever since we discovered it!
Carolyn does a great job for us everytime.
We've even changed cars at short notice and its not been a problem!
No penalties either.
Service is second to none and we can even use our Dollar Express card!
Our next 2 trips are also using www.floridahire.com
To us, recommendations mean a lot, and we recommend them to all our guests and family & friends.
Price is not everything but their service is second to none (their prices are hard to beat)
