Cheap car hire

[stuart]

We can't praise Florida Hire enough[clap]

The service they provide is second to none. No more so than when our daughter and her boyfriend hired a car through Florida Hire. Unbeknown to them, and in cahoots with Roger[msnwink], we upgraded their car to a convertible. The look on their faces when they collected it was priceless - worth every penny although not too many of them were needed[msnsmile2]

We know who we'll be going through when we next hire a car.

Many thanks to Roger.

Glad the surprise worked out as planned! I had visions of a mix up between their original 'standard car' voucher and the surprise Convertible voucher you had tucked away, and them ending up with the wrong car. They must have been really pleased!

As with everything, price isn't the only criteria that keeps us booking with floridahire over someone else, service that is second to none and the flexibility and extra's that this site provides are hard to match anywhere else [msnsmile2]

Sorry you lost me, why would someone who does not need the points want to pay more but get less? Or have I missed something. With fuel you will be paying more than both quotes from floridahire. On top gold club costs $50 to join. The only real advantage of this is fastrack which is free from dollar.
I agree that people should shop around but it does not make sense to pay more for less.

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.

Look, I simply said there are other car hire companies out there that also offer good deals, which might in some circumstances be better, and that floridahire wasn't the cheapest in the world, which was what was being implied by some posters. It depends on your personal circumstances and I like to earn the Hertz points, OK?

I'm not sure why you think that as it's totally untrue [msnsad].

Joke

I knew you would say that [msnwink]. Can't say as it's one that made me laugh though - I had more of a perplexed look on my face when I read it [msnwink].

Why? Because I have a mind of my own? Seriously, what's the problem? OP asked for cheap car hire recommendation, everyone said floridahire, I said look around. Is that such a big deal?

I was joking [msnwink]

FYI the perplexed look was in regard to your "Sorry, I forgot that it wasn't allowed to hold viewpoints other than those expressed by this site" comment. I have no opinion on your repeated attempts to tell people the obvious - that they can shop around for car hire [msnwink].

I'm locking this thread now as it's run it's course and I do not see the point in people having to see you repeat yourself time and time again [msnwink].

And before you say it, this is not an attempt at censorship, it's because this discussion is getting tedious and is now adding nothing of value to the forums [msnwink].
