What 7seat Minivan with Budget

[yellowbentines]

Hi all, it's nearly Florida time again and after the great service last year we've booked a 7 seat minivan with Budget through this site again, does anyone know what we are likely to get? The site states Budget offer a Ford freestar or similar but Ford stopped making them a couple of years ago and generally hire companies use new cars so I'm wondering what has replaced it?

We will be taking lots of things back and forth from my brother's villa so it would be handy to know what sort of van and seating configuration we might get (so I can see if seats fold/move or are removable etc).

Thanks! Neil

I'm in the same boat. Booked an 8 seater 4 x 4 (ford expidition or similar) from budget, for collection from MCO. However, looking at budget's website, this is not available at MCO, so I have no idea what I'll end up with. Hopefully, someone can enlighten me.

Last year, booked a 4 x 4 from Alamo, turns out it was too small. Upgraded to a Cadilac Escalade, I din't have much choice, as I was haggling, the family was packing the luggage in the vehicle. Cracking motor, fantastic to drive, but cost me an additional $600 to upgrade. However, this was much cheaper than I could have booked it in the UK.

You can no longer book 8 seater SUV's with Budget, but they should honor any reservations made already.
