    Can someone advise me on what Car Insurance I need when hiring a Car in Florida? Is the insurance quoted in the price? Thanks
    if you go to this site http://www.orlando-guide.info/forums/ click on the car hire link, it will take you to a car hire site that i have used twice so far. both times the full insurance was included. last year i hired a Grand Voyager for 14 days cost £358 including all insurance needed,any driver, and full tank of fuel.
    The guy at dollar said make sure you use it, push the car back in if you want!!

    hi

    hope you had a great time, I think you stayed in the same place we are going to in a couple of weeks, the comfort inn - could you tell me what it was like even if it was awful?!

    thanks!

    Sorry folks, wasn't me. I was in a villa near Kissimmee. Did you try trip advisor for reviews?

    Have any recent visitors noticed the traffic is much worse on the I4 that it was a couple of years ago?

    We went in Feb 2006 and spent a lot of time in traffic jams. Didn't experience this a couple of years ago.

    They were (are?) doing a lot of work around the I4 / 192 / Disney junctions. That is probably clogging things up a little.


    103 days until we go back :j

    Wen and I were referring to Comfort Inn at Universal, any recent reviews other than Tripadvisor would be appreciated.
