    Haha no worries- we can definitely beat it
    We can also do a £99 per person deposit on this one
    Hi there's not a lot of difference in price but 2 cars is marginally cheaper than a 15 seater people carrier - Insurance is a pain but we can always take the car/s out of our price - even so I can beat VirgiNs Price INCLUDING car insurance

    So Virgin flights, 3 bedroom apartment, 2 x Intermediate cars inc Fully Comp Insurance (This adds £358 on the Virgin site) my price is £8297 (ive checked Virgin Holidays today like for like and they want £9100)

    If you do your own cars/people carrier my price comes down to £7287

    I hope that all makes sense but when you give us a call we can go through it properly and look at options

  • Hi MATTR5

    Thanks for trying!

    Yes they are offering an extra £150 off with a discount code.

    Happy to consider other good hotels in the area (or even split the time between Orlando and Miami), if it can be done for around the £1600 mark! Not sure if that's at all possible though!

    Cheers.
