alamo car hire: what do they charge for a tank of petrol?

[fizz13]

Hi everyone,
just starting to look at all the fine print that goes with these holidays. I have booked a flydrive with virgin on fully inclusive insurance instead of platinum insurance. i have noted that I will be charged for a tank of petrol but no where can i find information as to what this cost will be. so was wondering if any of you have done this option and what you were charged?

very grateful for any answers

Rented thru Alamo at Easter (via Expedia not Virgin)
All depends on which car you get, they have a tank size for every car they rent, they charge about 3-5 cents/gallon more than Hess in Disney. For full size car it cost me about $40-45.
Rented from Hertz in August and they charged me 2-3 cents less than Hess.
Just make sure you prepay or agree to take back full, don't pay the un-agreed refill on return rate, thats approx triple Hess rates.

Thanks Wayne

I have a full size as well so will budget $50 to be on the safe side and pre-pay for it before I go. Scary how they can sting some people, wow!
