    Can anyone help me with car hire in Italy.

    5-19 September
    Pisa Airport
    Compact 5 door with A/c (eg Nissan Note)
    Best price: £344.24 with e rentals

    Would be happy with a Nissan Note/ Focus / Astra or any other similar sized car with 4/5 doors and A/C

    Thanks.
    Last week I noticed that Easycar were running some offers on Italian car hire.
    They've also got an active voucher code at the moment; enter FLIPFLOPS into the promo code box on their homepage, the discount varies according to location, but I think it's up to 20% off- Possibly worth a look if you've not already sorted something? :money:

    Hi
    Can anyone beat this please?:D
    Dates, departure airport and hotel cannot be changed, would be ok to fly on different flight/airline as long as it is either direct or connects in US (NOT europe). Also preferaby want to not have to pay it all up front. (this quote allows a deposit of £1890 now with the balance a few weeks before we travel - the hotel rate is a special rate so it was advance purchase everywhere else I looked)

    The Quote itself: £3350
    Who the quote is from: expedia
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: US airways/grand hyatt new york
    The departure Airport/Post: Manchester To NYC (la guardia)
    The Holiday Dates: 31/3/10-5/4/10
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 5 adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Grand Hyatt New York ( 2 rooms - both with 2 x dbl bed - one of the rooms has extra adult occupancy charge)
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): sc
    Any specific requirements:
    Is an in-flight meal included yes (think so)


    Ready to book asap as price has already gone up since we first looked a few days ago!

    I know this is a bit back to front but I havent really been able to get much in the way of consistent quotes- Im looking to go to Dominican Republic for a week/10days in the last two weeks of August, all inclusive. The cheapest I have found is 3* £670 for a week AI. Anyone know if that is any good? Would I be better off waiting for a last minute deal? I have 19 days to take a week off in.

    cheers
