Just lowered my rate with Alamo flying into Sandford Airport. I am now at 192 for a full size using the annual pass rate. When I booked 3 weeks ago, I started at 238.00
I'm in a huge panic!! I had a great price thru Dollar but our flight just got changed ....so we arriving 5 hrs early and of course the rental prices are ridiculous now. Any great codes out there or suggestions. Has anyone had any luck calling and changing times w/out a huge price jump?

Thank you I did try that code but the price was still over $400.I was emailed a 30% off deal through Dollar yesterday and got a booking for a mid-size SUV for $383 for 1/4-1/9 in Houston. I was hoping for a cheaper deal on a smaller vehicle, but they were not available with the promo code for me. It looks like the promo code is 101148. Hope that helps.
Jan 19(6pm)-29th(5am). We would like at least a fullsize (we have 5 adult sized ppl) My original booking was $186.24 total now it's showing over $400 for the same dates just a different pick up time.what dates / times do you need / type of vehicle?

Thank you so much for all of the info. I will call Dollar to see if they will let the earlier time slide. I will also check Alamo It may be worth the membership to Costco as I have a Vegas trip planned in March Someone on another post suggested checking on blk Friday too.Ok did a little searching for you, and you might have to get creative. First I would call your original booking company and ask what happens if you show up a little early and see if they can "let it slide" or modify your original. You're not adding any more days so I don't see why not. Personally I might just wing it and see what happens. Once I changed the times in the system when booking to show like 4 days and 23 hours even though it wasn't 100% accurate and it charged me 4 days instead of 5 and save me like 30 bucks. I'm not saying its honest, but, savvy shopper!
Here is what I found and it might take finding a friend with a Costco # to help you. If you go to costcotravel.com and put in your dates/times I saw 334 for a fullsize and a few dollars cheaper for a standard. (Alamo doesn't have a standard row at MCO so you default to the FS row...keep that tip in your pocket for future use...) If you're not cool with doing that go to Alamo website and use code 7013880 - its a Southwest Airlines code. If you sign up for Alamo Insiders (it's free) that will give you a 2nd driver for free. If you do the SW Air code it is 365... Not much cheaper but some. But honestly I would try contacting the rental company directly at MCO and see if they're cool with you showing up "a couple hours early".
curious what they say?Thank you so much for all of the info. I will call Dollar to see if they will let the earlier time slide. I will also check Alamo It may be worth the membership to Costco as I have a Vegas trip planned in March Someone on another post suggested checking on blk Friday too.
Thanks again!

Call, they worked with me and kept all three cars I had reserved at the same price.
I was perusing the rates at the Costco Travel site for late Jan to early Feb, and they are completely nuts. Fortunately for me, I had already snagged an excellent Budget rate which I had assumed would be a placeholder until something good from Alamo came up, but now I'm not sure. With any luck rates will start to normalize as the dates get closer.
