Orlando Car Hire - Prices going up and up and up...

fatcakz

Hello There, new to the forum and looking for some advice...

I just wanted to let you know of a current predicament I am experiencing and whether anyone can assist and contribute to this thread now we're coming into the summer months.

So....I'm travelling to Orlando on the 5th of August for 21 nights...I have been looking at cars (Mid range SUV - Ford Escape, Toyota RAV 4) over the last few weeks and the prices on all of the comparison sites (Holiday Autos, Auto Europe, RentalCars) have all gone up by nearly £200 since the start of the month. Booking direct is proving to be more expensive!!!

For example, on the 04/05/17 my required car was £587.30, today's price was near to £800 :mad: Whilst I know the exchange rate isn't great (the same car cost me £398 for 21 nights in 2015), I really can't believe how the prices have gone up so much...I thought with the way the exchange rate is prices might have been lower to entice people to book.

So, my question is.........is me searching every day, every other day from the same browser, using the same dates, same type of car etc hindering me getting a good deal. Are these sites keeping my search history and thinking "he might be getting desperate now, he's bound to book soon" or is this just the way it goes...

Any tips or help would be most welcome :beer:

Have a look at USCARHIRE they have intermediate SUVs with Alamo for similar to your best quote, £584ish. This is for their "silver inclusive package" which seems to include all insurances and taxes and possibly an extra driver.

My son has used them a couple of times, they have good prices for young drivers, and all went well. They are good at replying to emails with any questions you may have.

All sorted...thank you for the recommendation.

Could of got something for around £500...so much cheaper than the "big well known" comparison sites...
