i'm going to florida in may landing in orlando int airport and i'm planning on renting a car.

i went a couple of years ago and we rented a mini van as there was a few of us this time though it'll be just me and my dad.

i was thinking of renting something through hertz as they don't seem bad on price, anyone had any experience of them? and what cars did they have in the impala size as they don't list all there cars on the site, mind you none of them do!
also do they charge for an extra driver as there's no where on the web site when you book to add one.

thanks!

I can't recall ever hearing of anyone using Hertz.
Why would they? - it's only the biggest car rental company in the world, after all. Hertz rent more cars to tourists flying into OIA than Alamo, Dollar and Enterprise put together.

GTS - don't wory about your speeders. Is your ban recent and for anything really nasty? (Auto theft, DUI, Reckless Endangerment etc)
my first 3 points was for speeding and i got an SP30 and 3 points and £60 fine and then i got done again 5 months later for speeding (i've a steep learning curve) and i got a 56day ban no points and a £300 fine both which were in 2005 and i got another 3 points recently for a dodgy tyre of all things but that was my own dumb fault really. hopefully i'll be ok!
