Alamo Insider Extra Driver

[iluveeyore]

I noticed on the Alamo site when booking a rental that it said extra driver was free if the other driver was an Alamo Insider too - does that have to be a relative or spouse, or will it count for my sister who doesn't live with me? We got a great deal on a rental, but we have a 12 hour drive, and we want to share the driving but don't want to pay an extra $10 a day to add her or that completely loses my great deal!

If both of you are Insider members, then your sister can be an additional driver at no charge. Both of you will have to be present at the time of rental. My brother and I have done this, and we live in different states. I still have the copy of the email I received from Alamo Customer Service asking this same question. Have a safe trip!

Thank you so much - getting her to sign up today! I'm already a member, but this will help a lot!

Insiders are allowed a free extra driver regardless of their membership or lack there of.
Any additional driver (including a spouse or domestic partner) will pay a daily fee of approximately $10 per day.

Fees are waived for additional drivers who are:

•Members of Alamo Insiders Program; which allows for one additional driver to be added at no cost.•Corporate Contracts in the United States are allowed the following additional drivers at no charge:
· Commercial (corporate) rentals

· The renter's business partner

· Employer or fellow associate, who has a signed corporate contract with Alamo and drives the car for business purposes and who meet normal renter requirements.

All other additional authorized driver situations are subject to a daily charge.

•An additional driver may only be added to the contract at a rental location and may be added or removed in the middle of the contract. When adding an additional driver in the middle of the contract both the renter and the additional driver must be present at the location.
•The system will calculate the charges based on the dates the additional driver was listed on the rental.
