    May 2017 Car Rental Thread

    Thanks! Brought my 5/9-5/16 FS down to $132. Has anyone rented from Dollar recently? I was wondering what condition there cars are in (i.e. older, higher mileage, etc.)? We've only used Alamo, Budget and Avis.

    Comparing Avis to Budget?

    Just got back ... Used Avis with $30 off coupon and AARP discount (which also gives you a free upgrade). Signed up for their Perferred service so we went right to garage. $136.72 full size (7 days/2 hrs). Since it was our first time with Avis we had to go to rep in garage. The free upgrade got...

    Free One Car Class Upgrades

    Thanks. So I should check with the garage rep when we pick up the keys to see if we were upgraded or not. It really isn't a huge deal either way since I reserved full size anyway. I don't see it showing on the ressie. It's an AARP perk for "through Full Size" booking.

    Free One Car Class Upgrades

    Would someone please explain how these upgrades work? We have a reservation for Avis that comes with a free class upgrade. I've joined their Preferred Club so we can go straight to the garage but not sure if the reps in the garage can handle the upgrade part?

    Comparing Avis to Budget?

    We arrived for pick up with Alamo one time 3 min early using kiosk when they just came out. Our rate was extremely higher. I went to the counter and both the rep and us laughed; the kiosk system would not allow our pick up 3 min early. She said she could process us or we could wait 3 min and try...

    Comparing Avis to Budget?

    Thanks for your experience! Yeah, I prefer Alamo and with various legit codes (BJ's, Insider's, SWA) they're over $200. Avis is offering $155 for full size (AARP code plus $30 coupon). We're 4 days out and would be very satisfied with the $150 range so I might just jump on Avis. My DH always...

    Comparing Avis to Budget?

    Could anyone offer a comparison of Avis to Budget at MCO? Prices for our May 3-10 rental are $5 more with Avis vs Budget and I can't decide if Avis offers newer cars or better service vs Budget. Plus these are pre-paid rentals which I've never done before. We've used Alamo before and like the...

    Alamo - Ad4004jdk and as1 codes

    Following. I'm curious if the AS1 has actually worked. I noticed on my reservation (7 days, 2 hrs) it does not include the add'l charge for the 2 additional hours.

    APRIL 2016 Rental Car Discount ~ Promo Code ~ Rate Watch

    I've been following ... I see the coupons & the vegas/brazil ID being honored/not honored but has anyone used the AS1 product code without problems (i.e. using AS1 with Costco or any other contract ID)? I'm using BJ's (don't have Costco) for the free add'l driver & AS1 in May. Just wondering...

    MAY 2015 Car Rentals

    If you have BJ's card, Alamo includes the additional driver like Costco but rates are a little higher than Costco. Has anyone had an issue with reservations not showing under the "Upcoming Reservations" section when you log into Alamo? It's saying for me no upcoming reservations but when I...

    Alamo - Returning car 1/2 hr early

    Yes, I did put flight info in. So you think we might be okay with the times I have it reserved? Update: Gmeh1, I'm so confused now! I called Alamo (general #) to see if they could tchange the 1/2 hr to 9:00 am return. Rep suggested leaving as it so not to lose the rate and that it would...

    Alamo - Returning car 1/2 hr early

    Hm ... Our reservation says 7 days 1 hour - from your experience that is considered 8 day? I didn't think the pu time would be a big issue since you feasibly could stand in line for a hour during peak times or plane delayed. Thanks for your help!!! I'll keep checking to see if I can find...

    Alamo - Returning car 1/2 hr early

    This maybe be minor/petty but just don't want any surprises. I know you are not supposed to return rental cars early, but do you think Alamo will have a problem if we return 1/2 hr early? May 8-15: Our flight arrives 8:25 am (usually arrives early since 1st flight of the day) so I...
