yes they do but why not take it one step better do it online from your computer and head straight to garage and car of choice.Does anyone know if Alamo offers self check-in like National?
You just go to the kiosk machine, check-in, and then go straight to the garage and pick out a car?
Ditto.I agree, cheapest is not always the best choice. I pretty much stay with national or Alamo.
Does anyone know if alamo insider still includes the free second driver. I dont see it on my reservation so I called Alamo and they informed me only the costco code gives free second driver. It's not on my reservation form so I am concerned. Alamo says the Insider membership no longer includes free additional driver...
I know we all love the room a mini-van has, but if you can be flexible on what type of vehicle you rent you can save significant money. We are 5, but I'm not locking us in to renting a mini-van. I was OK scrunching us into a full size especially considering it's about $300 cheaper. And according to the site a full size is big enough for 5 people and 5 luggage.

awesome. so if i check-in online, then when i get to the airport, just go straight to the garage? no need to stop by the counter or the kiosk?
That was how it worked for me last January. I checked in online the day before departure and printed something called "Alamo Bypass Ticket" (or words to that effect, memory has faded). I went directly from baggage claim to the Alamo aisle for compact cars. At the exit gate, there was maybe one question about the fueling option I wanted before I was on my way. It was definitely a major improvement over my last Orlando car rental, which involved waiting in a long line several years ago at Thrifty back when they were offsite and enduring the tedious upsell for the 10 different kinds of insurance they offer.
With 6 you are stuck. Yup, we will all take carryon luggage, thanks.We're a family of 6 so we have no choice but a minivan. Last time we went with two people and had a full size. I suggest you take small suitcases or duffle bags. We were only able to get two large suitcases in the trunk of the full size and had to put a third smaller suitcase in the back seat.
I just ran another quote....according to Alamo only Costco gives the free driver. According to my quote from BJs the free additional driver is listed on the reservation. I didnt book it because it is a lot higher than the quote I have now that doesn't include the free driver. I am at a stand still. Not sure which direction to go yet.....You pretty much have your answer there. As Alamo has said, the Insider no longer includes the free second driver.
