Not sure whether I am being a typical 'bloke' but Flydrives still only appear a year ahead and not the Aug 2009 that I am trying to book for.

I've found in the past that the website isn't always updated very quickly when a new brochure comes out and later dates become available.
I booked for April 08 in November 06 by 'phone, at the time the website was only showing dates to end of Feb and this wasn't changed until at least a month later!

Hi Can anyone enlighten me please we booked our two cars with dollar rentals at sanford airport both cars were returned on time and with no damage and was checked in by a dollar rep at the car return car park, My father in law has just got his credit card statement back to find that he was charged an extra £65 and so many pence for each car, Has this happened to anyone else and do you know what the charges may have been for. Many thanks if you can help

Could it be for petrol?

I. Gasoline Policy: The renter must refill the gas tank of the vehicle within a 10-mile radius of the rental return facility and present a fuel receipt to avoid a refueling charge unless the renter chooses the prepaid fuel option.

We only want to visit 1 Disney park at Orlando and that’s Animal Kingdom. What’s the best way to buy tickets ahead of visit or am I best just paying at the gate. We are going first week in June.

The larger ticket vendors don’t seem to do 1 day passes.

See if anyone is able to do a swop with you for the Orlando Flex tickets you have posted above. Post below you says they do finger print scanning now but as they are so busy they don't seem to take much notice, see few posts below your original one.

Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. We arrive in orlando at sanford in august. Thomas cook say transfers are not included but want £300 if we want them to sort it. Are there any websites for prebooking coaches, taxis etc? there are 9 adults, 5 kids 5-15 and 1 infant and obviously a shed load of luggage, we arent fussy about transfering in one group so a number of minbuses is not a problem. or can we just jump in a minibus when we get there. We are staying on international drive.

we've just come back after 3 weeks don,t know if it,s any use to you but the lynx bus service route 42 leaves from t1 at the airport and travels down i-drive we used it 1.75 per trip and plenty of room for bags etc

Thanks guys - I have bought 1 day tickets from ticket mania - cost more than gate price but no queuing?

Going back via Sanford on 6 June so if anyone wants to try there luck with the flexi ticket let me know.

A tip if flying with Virgin and using Dollar for car hire in USA.
First of all Virgin use Dollar for their car rentals.
Dont book through them,but a broker such as airline network as Virgin's "free car"is really expensive with upgrade/insurance add ons.
Next,sit at the rear of the plane and when disembarking take your time going through customs/immigration.
The result being all the Virgin/Dollar clients will have ran down the car stocks meaning you get a free upgrade.Always say no if they ask you if you want to pay for an upgrade.

Ours was from an intermediate to a Dodge grand caravan minivan.
Well worth the wait at immigration!

Also, book your seats at the rear of the plane early, and youll get the two seats with a space for your legs, rather than the three in a row.
