All I've ever done was put a magazine or one of the childrens teddys in the back window of the car, and remember who's car park area we were in :rotfl:

I packed a bright yellow plastic ball which we stuck on the car ariel when we left it. It worked really well!

Another fan of the Nationwide credit card, always spend less than i thought.
As to car parks, just push the panic button. and hope you are in the correct car park. When you get on the trolley tell all your passengers which car park you are in ie. goofy 5! and hopefully one will remember it. If not call security in Disney and they will drive you around the car parks, they are used to it.

Hi

Can anyone tell me if they have used any of the following car hire companies for Orlando: holidayautos, carhire3000, carhireforless or easycar.com, and more importantly if they could recommend them? Or indeed if you could recommend anyone else. It's for a family of 4 with plenty of luggage, at least there will be on the way back!

I was just going to go with yescarhire as i used them last year but all of the above have come up cheaper when I search on Travel Supermarket. I want to make sure I have no further costs when I get there as I have been stung before.

Thanks

Or take a photo of the location and delete it when you get back to the car. Wandering around carparks bigger than the whole Thorpe Park site in the heat isnt that much fun when all you want is a cold beer.

I used Car3000 in December when I flew to Seattle. Got a great deal with them on an Alamo MPV - all inclusive, no hidden charges. Very happy with them.
Have always used Airline Network for Orlando and been very happy with them (they didn't cover Seattle, which is why I used Car3000).

We do something similar Jackie, we take a cheapo car flag and stick it on whenever we park up. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

While on the subject of cars, we also take a small cheap car squeegee as the windows are always damp first thing in the morning if you go Autumn/Winter.

Thanks, I have just booked with Carhire3000 as they had a deal on for a free upgrade to an SUV from a full sized car.
