PassPorter Community Tip: A "Brit" Different Guidebook
PassPorter's Walt Disney World for British Holidaymakers is a "brit" different view of Walt Disney World for our UK friends by author/columnist Cheryl Pendry! This comprehensive, 260-page e-book covering every aspect of visiting Walt Disney World from the United Kingdom. It takes you through your entire visit, from the planning stages to working out the best way to get there and get around, with details about arriving in America, passports and immigration, duty-free allowances, driving in the States, and staying in touch while you're away!

Club Passholders get it now in the Reading Room. The e-book is also now on sale to the general public in the PassPorter Store.

Convertible rental car prices!

Now that we know we're definitely keeping our rental car, a convertible , I've been checking other sites besides Alamo.com for rates. Seems like I've scored big time by renting thru alamo!! The base charge for the time that we need it is $164.99 whereas on avis.com, the convertibles will be over $400 and at hertz.com it's $289!! So, I guess I did get a great rate after all!

But it makes me wonder, if one company can charge so little, why can't the others??

That's a great price Wendy!! I have been looking at prices for renting a convertible in May as a surprise for my DD and have not seen anything even close to what you got. I plan to keep checking and hope I get lucky like you!

Every company is different. Alamo may be low today and high tomorrow.

Re: Convertible rental car prices!

I often have good luck with Alamo and National getting good rates. It seems to me that Avis and Hertz are always way more expensive. It doesn't make any sense to me either. I think WIllcad is right though - sometimes one is high and the other isn't.

A convertible? What fun! Does your DH know about this or are you going to surprise him with it?
