We use a variety of suppliers for car hire throughout the USA and Florida. In most cases you have the flexibility to choose which supplier you want for your booking, although some suppliers are only available in certain areas.
We are careful to only use large, well established and reputable car hire suppliers, and have a very close relationship with all of them. Problems are rare with any of our suppliers, and in the event of any difficulty we can easily assist.
There are many other smaller suppliers in the US, many who are more than happy to charge you hidden extras or give you poor quality vehicles and service when you arrive. The suppliers we use are renowned for their honesty and top class customer service and quality vehicles.
The table below highlights the main differences between the suppliers we use so can be used to assist you in choosing the right supplier for your needs.
