Our Car Broke Down
There is nothing more frustrating than running into problems on vacations. Usually in these instances you are far away from home and find yourself paying more than you need to if something needs to be fixed. In many cases, these unexpected issues can be the end of your trip, so you hope that you never run into them.
Unfortunately for us, we weren’t lucky enough to escape problems on our trip. We left last Monday for a two week trip and it seemed like everything was going to be ok. But yesterday, our car broke down, and the shop that we had it towed to told us that it was going to be four days before they could get the parts we needed.
Was that the end of our trip?
Thankfully it wasn’t. The mechanic was helpful and he suggested that I try to get a rental from one of the many Orlando car hire firms in the area. I guess we were lucky that we didn’t break down off the beaten path, and that we were close enough to civilization to rent another car.
So, we will have to go back and pickup our car at the shop on the way back, but at least we can still enjoy our vacation. Truth be told, there is a lot more space in our rental car than the one we own.
