I've left it to late but didnt realise they would be unavailable. Looking for one from somewhere around Havana or Vinales from 13/12/2007 until 24/12/2007. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

It's best to talk in person to a travel agent (if you've only been looking online). But you can definitely rent directly from the hotel/resort you're staying at once you get there for sure (especially in Havana)...or from the airport.
(If you want to try these sites at least to get some information about car rentals) :

I was there a couple years ago and we got a car and driver cheaper than we could rent a car.
We went to a local bar and asked around, they lined us up with an English speaking guy, Ki Ki, that took us around Havana and showed us the sights.
The taxi's will also do this, but you must negotiate the price first.
In old Havana you can get around on a horse drawn carriage for about $40 per hour. Quite romantic.
Hope you like it there.

Many hotels in Havana have car rental services. I have used the services at hotel Inglaterra and Hotel Deauville in Havana.
Watch out with some agencies they try to rip you off.
Check everything..... good to know , in case of an accident or problems....you are the responsible.
Therefore I prefer to hire a private car with a driver. Make clear agreements about price, distance etc.before you use the service. For short distances a taxi is a better option, negotiate , normal price 0.7-1 cuc/km

The car rental agencies usually use the period leading up to the start of high season to repair and replace their cars, and then the period over Christmas/New Year is the highest season for car rental (as many Cubans living overseas return to visit families).
http://www.nashtravel.com/carrental.html lists five companies - if you have checked with all of them, the a private rental (with driver) may be your only option - try http://www.cuba-junky.com/havana/pototo.htm
You may find that agencies do have cars available when you get here.
