    Try Virgin, they were the best price when I was looking a few weeks ago:

  • hi guys just to let people know who are thinking of booking a holiday to florida i dont know if you already know this info but ive been to florida the last three yrs with virgin and this yr decided to look about and found it cheaper to book flights with virgin atlantic and car hire separate rather than book a flydrive holiday with them,if your a flying club member as well you get other little offers and if you book car hire you get free upgrade to the next level of car hire,and if you pay the full amount inc deposit you get anouther 5 or 10 % off, anyway it may be common knowledge but thought i'd share it with you peeps!,i bought 6 weeks car hire for £700 fully platinum insurance and four tickets with virgin atlantic for £950, better than the £2800 i paid the last two yrs,just gotta book a nice villa now for three weeks then 3 weeks of touring the keys:cool:

    Hi

    I would use these people http://www.tiffanytowncars.com/ Askf ro Martiza. I have been using them for over 12 years and never a problem.

    They are cheaper than a taxi and you are picked up and met by a uniform chap at the baggage claim area and go in a lovely luxury car.

    There is evena voucher you can print off.

    Jeez, f you dont like them I will even refund you LOL

    Honestly, its the way to go

    Cheers

    Hi

    Just a quickie, about to do a book order and was going to get a guidebook to read about Orlando/walt Disney for 2009. Not sure whether to get the unofficial guide to Walt Disney world £9.09 or the Brit guide to Orlando (£9.89) both 2009 versions.

    Or is it really not necessary and best to manage without????

    Need to order today as getting presents could someone give me their opinion???

    Many thanks xxx

    To be honest they are both very very good. I have them both.

    The brits is aimed at brits, the unoffical is more general.

    You will not be dissapointed with either but its good you are getting at least one

    I totally agree, I also have both books.
    But I'd say that The Brits Guide covers the non-Disney attractions better.
