    AUGUST 2018 Car rental watch

    It seems to no longer be working on the Alamo site, but the code is AD2365FDN. That one is thru AOPA for $30 off. It worked fine for months and now when I try to use it says invalid dates. My dates are 8/9/18 ~ 8/18/18, so definitely not invalid but whatever. The coupon code that seems to be...

    AUGUST 2018 Car rental watch

    Ressie down to $311 today (8/4) for a midsize SUV thru Alamo, dates 8/9 thru 8/18. I had a reservation using the AOPA code as well ($30 off), but that one seems to be stuck in their system and was more than what I locked in today using our BJ's code and the AD2823JAZ code to save another $25...

    AUGUST 2018 Car rental watch

    I am down to $342 for a midsize SUV from Alamo with our BJ's discount plus the $30 off discount code for dates Aug 9th thru Aug 18. Not bad, but under $300 would be better. One can dream, haha

    Renting a car without a credit card

    I second this :). We have rented from Alamo and secured the rental with a debit card that has a Mastercard logo on it for two years straight, and had no problems. They did not place a hold on the card, and we did have to show our return flight info - which I just printed out our itinerary and...

    august 2013 codes for rental cars?

    @frannn I did not do better than $240 for 13 days on a Standard with Alamo. This is a more than what we paid last year ...but not by much when you break it down: 2012 ~ rented a Standard for 9 days = total $152.75, or $16.97 per day 2013 ~ reserved a Standard for 13 days = total $240.09...

    august 2013 codes for rental cars?

    I am officially 1 week from vacation...did my daily rate check and Alamo was sky HIGH (in my opinion). A standard, which is what I rented for 13 days at $240, is now quoted at $681 :crazy2: This is by logging into Alamo Insiders and inputting a Visa code for $30 off. The lowest quote was...

    august 2013 codes for rental cars?

    I am now at 13 days before we leave, and while I do see the Alamo rates lower than what they were several weeks ago, they still are not lower or even close to the $240 (13 days, 8/6 to 8/19, MCO) that I scored at the 3 week mark. When I looked at the trend from my last years rental from...

    Does Alamo still not have a "standard" category @ MCO?

    @gmeh ~ As always, thank you for your input. I got a decent quote from Dollar for our upcoming trip, but also managed a great quote from Alamo after some diligent (daily) checking. Those little things that you mention DO bother me also. I am not looking to "finance" a car from Dollar - so why...

    august 2013 codes for rental cars?

    I am at $240 for a Standard/Full Size from Alamo , dates 8/6 thru 8/19 at MCO. Lower would be nice, but my car rental budget was $300 or less. I'm okay with this rate if it does not drop. :goodvibes

    tell me your best rate for 2 week car rental

    My good rental deal is not actually for 2 weeks, but is for 13 days. I snagged $240.00 for a Standard with Alamo at MCO. This will most likely give us a Fullsize car since there is no "standard isle" at MCO. This was using Alamo Insiders membership and a Visa code for $30 off a rental (providing...

    Mortified at DME driver

    I am like you - and don't "sweat" tipping too much, however if anyone who ever touches my stroller or luggage thinks they are entitled to a $20 tip for it - I will be the sad one :confused3. I also think that if a person works in any hospitality industry and feels the need to mention how...

    15yo flying alone?

    To OP ... Our DD14 (almost 15) has been flying solo since she was 11 - from Providence to MCO. We usually book thru SWA, but once bought her ticket from Jetblue. When she was 11 on SWA, she flew as an "unaccompanied minor" since she was still considered that. I paid an extra $50, and my...

    ? about AD2338FDF code

    I used the code, and will be using my Visa to secure the rental at MCO. I also plan on using the kiosk at MCO and bypassing the counter completely. Last year I used a code from American Airlines for $35 off a rental at Alamo - which I did not book my flights on, but found the code on...

    august 2013 codes for rental cars?

    Ran my dates thru Alamo again this afternoon ...rate is now $240.09 for a Standard (which translates to a Fullsize at MCO as I do not believe there is a "Standard" isle there). When I checked my ressie info from last year - I noticed that the lowest Alamo rate that I got was approx 3 weeks from...

    august 2013 codes for rental cars?

    TYSM Brett! I re-booked my Alamo ressie of $389.92 (which I cancelled), and now with the Visa code, am at $286.52! I can't believe the rates have dropped so much since I started looking several months ago. :thumbsup2

    august 2013 codes for rental cars?

    I plugged in my dates and used my BJ's membership number, which is supposed to give a "25% discount", and "free" upgrade. My quote for a Standard is $288 - with the upgrade will hopefully be a Full-size car. That's the lowest that I have so far...at 3 weeks from vacay. The breakdown for 13...

    august 2013 codes for rental cars?

    I used the kiosk from Alamo (at MCO) last year, and it was EASY. I read that Enterprise has kiosks now, and that should save time, however there still has to be some employee somewhere (in the garage I suppose) who has to verify my info before I drive off in one of their cars :goodvibes...

    august 2013 codes for rental cars?

    I was not aware that Enterprise was now owned by Alamo - and thought National was related to Alamo. Plugging in my dates gives me the lowest price so far with Enterprise ($381.40, 13 days, MCO, full size), however I noticed that their hours of operation at is MCO is 6 a.m. to midnight. Our...

    Sketchers settlement checks!

    Good for all of you who joined the CA suit.... Sadly, I didn't place a claim even though DH and I both own a pair (and I never liked mine - they still look new), but didn't file a claim because although I still have the shoes, I don't have the receipts. I figured it would be a bust without the...
