A recent survey published by Florida Homes and Travel has found that Budget Car Hire is the most ‘Preferred’ car hire company for villa owners in Florida. With over 45 percent of the vote, Budget was the clear winner, with Dollar Rent a Car in second place with 32 percent. Alamo was third with just 13 percent of the vote.

In the same survey American Airlines was ranked as the best airline overall, with Virgin Atlantic a close second, and British Airways fifth (and this was before all the strikes)! The airlines were ranked on a scale of 1 – 5, with 5 representing Excellent, and 1 representing truly awful, in 6 categories: punctuality; security; food; cabin crew;entertainment and overall service. However, Virgin Atlantic was the most popular airline in terms of flights taken.
