Alamo and 8-passenger/Toyota minivans?

[Tara]

I was just checking rates and noticed the 8-passenger van (aka, Toyota Sienna) no longer comes up as an option for my dates. I also checked a future trip and the van didn't appear as an option for that, either. Then I started checking other random dates and can't seem to get this option for any date.

Has anyone rented an 8-pax van lately? Does Alamo still have them? I'm holding a confirmed reservation for an 8-pax vehicle so not seeing them offered anymore makes me a wee bit nervous!

I found this with a quick Google search.

Thanks, but that doesn't answer my question.

OMG i knew i was not crazy...I've called their desk, and local airport location...they told me they are just sold out..i explained i've tried date ranges into next year but no luck...they explained it just means they are sold out on those dates...i don't buy it! something is wrong with their ressie system!

Question to alamo:
Message: I believe there is an issue: all of the 8 passengers mini vans have been pulled. No matter what date range or location they no longer appear as an option?


Reply from Alamo:
We apologize for the inconvenience, if a location is not showing a particular car class available then the location is not carrying that vehicle for the moment.
This could be due to the location selling out of vehicles or just not carrying that car class any longer. The best way to clarify the car availibilty is to call that location directly

I have a reservation with Alamo for an 8 passenger van for 11/27-12/6. Alamo better still have 8 passenger vans available. I had a reservation for the 15 passenger van (we have 8 people in our group), but agreed to downsize at Alamo's request. Several months ago, the online system showed a 15 passenger van for $100 a week - I was one of the many people who booked the rate. When Alamo realized the issue, they called everyone and asked them to downsize - I agreed to downsize to an 8 passenger van, but told them I need that van. Since we have 8 people going on this trip, a 7 passenger van won't work. I will be really upset if I get there and find out there are no 8passenger vans.
