Mega Cheap Deals on MyTravel Flydrives to Orlando

Thanks to mustbeorganised for this!

MyTravel are selling some bargain late deals on flydrives to Florida. Available from Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, Doncaster, Belfast, Cardiff, Newcastle and London.

I hunted around a bit, and came across a 21 day flydrive that was only £392.80, departing September 7th from Manchester for two adults!:eek:

There are a host of other dates available. If you're into a cheap deal with a very weak dollar...it all adds up to a great value for money holiday.


(Tip: Ignore car hire and book it seperately from a host of UK based firms for around £200 fully insured for 2 weeks)

You can deduct the inflight meals if you really wanna save, with a further £34 off.

Will upload a screenshot in a sec.

    Didn't want to post the entire page - so I cropped it a bit and kept in the pricing details:

    Nobody rates this as a bargain?

    Please note, the 21 days flydrive was only an example. There are a lot of other durations available, like 7 and 14 days for around the same costing, and from different departure dates up until the end of September and beyond.

    Below is a list of dates from Gatwick:

    billy: It's always best to just ignore the car hire part of flydrives, and book the car hire seperately as mentioned in the OP.

    I'm sure we didn't take the car hire but had to pay about another £40 each .I guess its their commission from the Car Rental company.

    Because it's far cheaper to book it seperately here in the UK.:rotfl:

    I'll add my example, it's pretty much the same for all.

    I booked a flydrive with mytravel - to add the fully inclusive insurance it was another £300 - I booked car hire fully inclusive from uscarhire.co.uk for £200. Therefore you ignore the car hire offered with mytravel as it is more expensive to include it when fully insured.

    Do they not insist you pay for the car hire insurance up front when booking the "flydrive" ?

    Broadway travel have flight only, on those dates, Gatwick to Orlando from £204 p.p. with Thomas Cook airlines if you are worried about not taking the car with a fly drive

    Nope...it's an optional extra.
