To make the most of the Sunshine State, a hire car is recommended – which
is why we’ve included it in every holiday package we feature.
A hassle-free way to travel, Florida’s roads are wide and simple with
a sensible speed limit. Petrol is also currently cheaper there, making this
a cost-effective option.
The cars are all brand new with air-conditioning to
keep you cool on sunny days. Having a boot to stash all your bargains in can
also come in handy! With a hire car, Florida is yours for the taking.

Important Information
Deposits and Credit Cards
Alamo require the lead driver to have a credit card in their name. This will be swiped at time of pick up for authorisation but no amount
will be deducted.
Fuel
If you have taken out our Platinum Insurance Package then a full tank of fuel is included. If you haven't taken this package then you will be required
to pay for a tank of fuel on arrival. You can then return the car empty.
Don't forget your license!
You need a full British one. If you have a new style license remember to take both parts with you, not just the photocard. You are not allowed to rent
a car if you hold a US or Canadian driving license.
CHOICE
You have chosen your holiday, why not choose your exact car? Well with Virgin Holidays and Alamo you can! All car types within the category booked
are all located together - giving you a choice of colour and car type. Simply pick the car you want and you are away!
FLEXIBILITY - On Arrival & Departure
If you have booked to pick up your car at the airport, but would rather pick up the next day, then simply take our coach transfer from the airport.
Next morning call the number and we will make the necessary arrangements. (Only applicable to package holidays at I Drive and Disney Hotels.)
On your return we have a special arrangement with Alamo that allows a 2 hour grace period in case you are stuck in traffic. After this, extra charges will apply
so get to the airport in good time!
24-hour roadside assistance
For your complete peace of mind, all Alamo's cars come with 24-hour roadside assistance. We also have our very own Virgin Holidays' representatives on hand to
answer any questions or help you out should you need it.
Add Insurance
All Alamo's cars come with Basic Third Party liability insurance - we highly
recommend that you buy extra cover with us. We have two great value options
for you to choose from;
EXCLUSIVE Platinum Insurance
Includes all taxes, insurance and airport fees plus additional drivers, a tank of fuel, and underage drivers. Plus EXCLUSIVE to Virgin Holidays
child seats are also included!
Fully Inclusive Insurance
Includes all taxes, insurance and airport fees.
Pre-booking one of these options through Virgin Holidays gives you peace of
mind and means there is nothing further to pay when you arrive in Florida!
