    You would do a lot better by following the advice on this site and booking your travel insurance separately. :money:

    We are completely flexible about where we go however, so a cheaper deal somewhere else (4* minimum) would be fine. Also any flights leaving from nearer Scotland also a bonus!

    We have a villa already booked for August 2011 but need some flights and car hire for Orlando. Dates we can have for villa is starting 15th or 16th August for 14 days. Not sure if I am better waiting until a bit nearer as a lot of companies do not book so far in advance . Virgin flydrive is just extortianate at the moment (even with a 15% Frequent Virgin club discount I have) although would really prefer them as used many times before even if just for the flight and get my own car hire , even Virgin say they only book 11 months in advance for just flights though so could not get flight price only, (cannot get 15% off on flights only).
    Would consider 15 days aswell if came out better price.
    Anyway here goes.
    The Quote itself: £749pp
    Who the quote is from: Ocean Florida
    Is there a booking fee: no
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Delta ( though would prefer Virgin)
    The departure Airport/Post: Gatwick
    The Holiday Dates: 15th Aug 2011 or 16th Aug 2011 for 14 days
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 5 adults, 3 kids aged 16, 16 & 14 ( 8 people in total)
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Have own villa booked
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): SC
    Any specific requirements: If cheaper to book a flydrive will consider that, currently quoted £538 for 2 weeks car hire for 8 seater mini van , includes top insurance and 2 drivers
    Is an in-flight meal included: Yes

    Would greatly appreciate any cheaper quotes anyone may find, also deals on tickets too.:)
