Hi

We are using Alamo car hire for the first time, we got a great price. In the past we have used Dollar and found them ok.
We have booked a compact, but there will be 5 of us and we know that we will need a bigger car :teeth:
So we dont know wether to leave the upgrade till we get there or pay for it in the UK.
Has anybody upgraded the car with Alamo at Sanford?

Thanks
 
We upgraded at Alamo in Sanford this year from a 7 seater van to an 8 seater. We knew before we left that we were going to upgrade. But if I remember correctly they wanted quite a lot of money to upgrade to an 8 seater before we went - we booked with JMC. I can't remember the exact figure, however when we arrived we took the upgrade and I think it was 60 something dollars for the 2 weeks.

You may always get the upgrade free anyway - as we have had once before - if there are no compacts left when you get to Alamo.

The funny thing was though that when my DH and I came out of the car hire reception he found a $50 bill..........just lying on the ground........what agreat way to start a holiday :teeth: :teeth: :teeth:
 
Scottish,
I have booked a 7 seater with dollar for our next visit.
Our party consists of five adults+luggage.Do you think a 7 seater is sufficient?

Hi Maleficent:teeth:

Thank you so much for your reply.

We have decided to upgrade the car to a fullsize for a little bit extra, just for peice of mind really.:) So if they dont offer any 'free' upgrades we have a car that will be OK, if you know what I mean.

Wow $50 what a great way to start the holiday, hope this happens to us on our way out :bounce:
 

cslogg - in our party we had 4 adults and 2 children - we decided oj the 8 seater because my brother uses a wheelchair, and we wanted to make sure we had enough room for luggage too - especially getting back to the airport. I recall thinking I was glad we took the 8 seater for the extra space.

from what I remember, the luggage space is not brilliant in any of the vans, but you will have two empty seats to use as well. so you might be ok......you might prefer the extra space though.

Squitty - full size is nice - we had one in a previous trip - as a free upgrade from intermediate - boot was massive.
