I agree with the above, forget the car that's included and get one from here. It might seem like a crazy idea but it could well save you money not to mention stress.

We've picked up and dropped off around different locations in Florida. Personally we'd never hire from anywhere else, great service, great prices, no pressure to buy 'extras' on collection and no hassle whatsoever with easy collection and drop off [msnsmile2]

No problem with sunshine in August, kids should be pretty much back at school. Sorry don't know very much about Clearwater but others on here will.

Have a great trip!
