What you renting 
I'm 24 and will be in Orlando in June, using Sanford airport.
Alamo would charge me £202 to rent a 2 door economy, plus $350 when i get there for being under 25 ($25 per day over 14 days). That totals approx £392 at the current exchange rate.
However i've booked through www.usrentacar.co.uk who have a special deal going on with budget hire car. If you take out their gold insurance policy instead of their regular all inclusive policy (an extra £24) they allow you to pay a one off young drivers fee of £100 instead of the $25 a day (works out for me at about £190 over the 14 days). So basically i'm paying £124 extra instead of $350. I'm hiring a Ford Mustang Convertible for a total of £424, only £32 more than alamo would charge me for a 2door economy!

Last year we rented through U Save. Great car and no charge for extra for up to 4 21-25 year olds. Unfortunatly we're heading back in July and tried booking through usrentacar.co.uk again but they have stopped dealing with U Save. Anyone know if I book with them directly would they have the same policies?

See if you can find their website and read the terms and conditions - if not, email them

I've tried looking at the website but can't find the terms and conditions anywhere! Plus I've emailed them twice so far with no reply! :shrug:

Does this help -
Car Hire under 25 for Young Drivers and Under 25's
U.S. Rent A Car.co.uk is once again setting the standards for Car Hire in the USA and this time it's great news for young drivers. With our Car Hire under 25! product.
U.S. Rent A Car.co.uk has managed to negotiate, through our supplier U-Save Car Rental and Budget Rent A Car a rate that includes the young drivers surcharge within the price of the rental.
The $20-$25 per day under 25's surcharge for young driver's levied by our other supplier's is usually the stumbling block for any driver's aged 21-24. Happily we can now offer a much more cost effective option.
U-Save Car Rental - Simply enter your Florida pick up details and select your vehicle then follow the online instructions or for more information call us on 0845 226 8523. or click here for car hire under 25 prices. ** please note that drivers between 21-24 that wish to hire 8,12 & 15 seater minivans will incur an additional charge of $19.95 per day plus tax.
Budget Rent A Car - YDP is an optional insurance policy available for drivers aged 21-24 with our supplier Budget Rent A Car. By purchasing this optional waiver you will not be liable for the usual $25.00 per day per driver incurred by young drivers. YDP insurance in conjunction with the GOLD rate includes 1 driver (21-24) and your first tank of fuel.
***To purchase this waiver you must have selected the GOLD rate insurance any bookings that are made on the Fully Inclusive Rate will invalidate the Young Drivers Policy Insurance***
Are you 19-20 years old?
U.S. Rent A Car can now offer car hire in Florida to UK and European driving licence holders aged 19-20 with just a small local charge to upgrade the insurance, approximately $20.00 per day per driver. To take advantage please call our reservations department on 0845 226 8523.
Terms and Conditions, FAQs and Under 25s are all linked at the bottom of the web page

I appreciate your research! To cut a long story short, we were booked with www.usrentacar.co.uk, but they emailed to say that they had ceased using the company and we were entitled to a refund. Now I'm stuck with no car ....
Now last year we used the usrentacar website who booked through U Save. All I was trying to do was contact them to find out if I booked through them directly would the same under 25 policy apply (or is that just through usrentacar) and if their rates include all necessary insurance.
Thanks again for all your help Hook!:wave:
