I just booked a week long rental with Alamo using this code & the $30 off code for Nov. 10- Nov. 17 for $129.70! I notice it says CDW included & 1 additional driver included. Is there any reason the CDW would be a bad thing? I'm actually glad it has the additional driver included.
Also, what is the backup reservation? Do you make another Alamo reservation & keep both in case one doesn't work?
CDW is a bad thing if you actually get into an accident but weren't really eligible for the company code. You'll likely be on the hook to pay the full amount of any damages.
How do you know if a CDW is added to your reservation? Will it say in the rental confirmation email?
Bumping. This is part of the email confirmation. No mention of CDW, but wondering if it's a charge or would it be in the fine print? I just don't want to be surprised at the gate!

The CDW WAS part of it (it would have been stated between the first and second charges above as that's how mine showed up). But along with the Florida surcharge disappearing today off new and past reservations (all my past reservations went down in price), looks like the CDW included in the Vegas Brazil code disappeared as well. I now have a reservation from Sept 2-9 for $94.28 using the $30 off Visa code and the Vegas Brazil code (no CDW included).
Thank you! Looking at past threads where the CDW was automatically part of the reservation made me nervous since I didn't notice it when I made the original reservation. Glad to hear it's gone.
Yes you need to pay with a Visa card.I've read somewhere that this is a VISA card discount and that you must pay with your VISA. Is this true? I was able to pre-book a car with this discount and I'm worried now that when I go to pickup the car they will deny me. I've never rented a car before but this is by far the best rate I've come across so far so it would really suck for it to not be valid.

On the reservation page, click the yellow "add discount code" link. The code goes in the "Coupon Code" box. If you have a Costco code or similar, this goes in the "Contact ID" boxWhich box do we put this Double upgrade code in? Also, if we want a minivan, what do we need to book in order to double upgrade to a minivan?
Thanks!
