I personally have never booked thru the the rental company as I've heard some bad stories with "extra ad on's" when you get there.
We have always gone thru the a 3rd party like airline network or similar kinda sites when it comes to rentals in the US and things go smoothly every time

wdyw

The USA prices usually include all the insurance you need in the states, but the price is so low the warning bells are ringing unless you have been given a "special" as a valued customer. I would expect to pay twice that at least for 8 days in a 4x4 out there.

If you have booked it already can you not go into the modify booking section and see what it says?

I to have always gone through a third party

Airlinenetwork
yes
carhire3000

have all been good.

I always pay the premium pack which includes all insurances extra driver and full tank of fuel and would expect to pay around £25 to £30 a day for a 4x4, so yes that seems cheap.

I have always found that going direct with Avis etc there will always be extra insurances to pay...but I may be wrong.

I still dont understand how you are getting that price, you say it has doubled but my qoute was over double yours and I am getting the same price on travelzoo.com (uk edition) not sure there is a travelzoo.co.uk.

Are you def getting a qoute for 8 days in Nov becasue on the offer page it clearly states car hire for 1 week from £99
