Hiya,

Booked last minute, going on Wednesday, got the flights and accomodation
Need
Park tickets (Disney/Orlando)
Dollars (How much do people think to take and where to get them from)
Car Hire (Where and how much)

We are going for 2 weeks 5 of us, me the Mrs and the 3 kids aged 6,4 and 2 now I know another requirement is car seats but 3 a day approx £15/2 weeks = £210, my plan on this front was possibly find a Walmart or something similar and buy 3 anyone done this or thinks its a goer.

All advice welcome as not been before

Regards
Pete

Last time we went we were going to buy car seats for the same reason but they wouldn't let us leave the rental place without seats. We thought about renting them for a day, buying the car seats from Walmart and then taking the rental ones back but to be honest it just seemed like too much trouble so we ended up renting for the whole 2 weeks.

hiya,

just priced up at walmart and its around £60 to buy 2 x booster seats with backs and a "proper" baby seat so around £150 saving

How much should I expect to pay for a hire car including all taxes and insurances?

Regards
Pete

We only have 2 children but we have always found it easier to take their car seats with us and it just gets put in the hold and has always been really easy!

am I correct in thinking that I dont need one for my 6 year old?

and do you need the back rest part or just the booster seat part and will my youngest still require a full size 5 point harness seat?
