hi

Me again

Just wondering if any of you can help with a car hire questions.

We dont have CC, and we have tried but due to this credit crunch business no one will give us one : ( Alamo WILL loan us a car with a cash deposit, although they are coming in as being quite high.

Dollar & Avis want a CC.

Are there any other hire cos that will rent a car to us without a credit card that anyone knows of? Keen prices OBV please!

Alamo via holiday autos will cost us 167. Dollar will cost us 87 but alas they wnt touch us?!

Ideas please?!?!?!

Dollar has signs on all of their desks saying no debit cards credit cards only I dont know if this would apply to a pre paid Credit card i know that my LLoyds Bank money card at the hotels at least shows as a credit and not debit card !

RESULT!!! :T

As per usual, Enterprise have come up trumps. We hire cars fairly regularly and they are always the best- theyve surpassed themselves this time

they are doing us a compact from the AM of the 29th to 5pm on the 2nd for a grand total of £40.52

They WILL take a cash deposit from the debit card of 350USD at the desk.

Just in case any other moneysavers are interested, hiring a car in the US is not a problem- with a debit card/ cash dep.

Alamos cash dep was lower at 200, but the price obviously A LOT higher.

Im starting to get VErrrrrrrry excited now :j

The wife and I are hoping to go to LV this year new (its my 40th on new years eve), we've found a flight for £670 return (each), is this likely to be the best price we'll get for flights or should we wait a little longer, secondly, what would be a good thing / show to see / do on new years eve ?

Depends on your exact dates and where you are flying from but quick look on www.travelocity.co.uk shows Delta (29/12-5/1) for £483.50 including taxes from London so it might pay you to shop around a bit. I think £670 is bit high personally.I wouldn't wait too long though another week and they'll go up. If you see a good fare grab it !
I think you need to book fast if you want a show NYE-some shows are dark and the others book fast as Vegas will be VERRY busy ! What kind of show were you thinking ? Circ, comedy, big name artist ?

Is that the 29th nov to 2nd dec, and are those extras in pounds per day in which case the total rental would be about £130. Carhire3000 would be allinc for £78.. to include extra drivers and a full tank...BUT I dont know what their position is on the credit card, but they do have a freefone number

lynzpower

no thats in USD Photome

Carhire 300 uses dollar, who dont take CCs....

total shame as dollar have a desk at the MGM grand where we are staying nad would be SO much more convenient- and cheaper

wdyw

Looks to me like the TC/MyTravel flight to Vegas is close to £200 at the end of the month if anyone can do a late notice trip.

£230 if standard baggage+ no food
Still £450ish at Christmas/ New Year
