Hi Guys,

I am coming over to usa for a holiday soon, and need something to get around in. It's gonna have to be a SUV type thing due to the amount of luggage and 4 passengers. Can anyone suggest a decent hire place that will accomodate this?

I have seen a Chevrolet Trailblazer which looks big enough, but how is the drive?

Wish i could take my car with me!

Thanks guys

Hi,

You can rent just about any type of vehicle at US airports, I'd check before hand and secure something...I also have a Trailblazer and its fine for what you would be looking for......check companies like hertz : http://www.hertz.com/rentacar/reservation/...nOnHomepage.jsp

or avis: http://www.avis.com/car-rental/avisHome/home.ac

or enterprise: http://www.enterprise.com/car_rental/home.do


cheers

If you have Monday as a free night, check out Blue Martini lounge in Orlando (near The Mall at Millenia).. been there twice while on business trips and Monday is Service Industry Night... amazing looking Florida girls!! I'm guessing the E60 guys that live Orlando can recommend other hot spots, but I've had good times at Blue Martini

I'm sure his wife will be glad you suggested that

I've had good luck with Avis and National just about anywhere I travel. Hertz is always good I'm sure, but usually the most expensive. Trailblazers are pretty nice. And a Suburban or Denali would be even nicer!

Hope you have a great trip!

i love blue martini but it is a complete meat market. at least in tampa. 16 bucks a drink, incredible chicks (who of course dont buy their own drinks) ultra pretentious super douchebaggy people. velvet ropes outside, line to get in, 20-50 dollar cover. i have heard others arent this bad.
