Alamo Prepay

[msminniemouse]

Does anyone ever do the Alamo prepay to get the 10% off?
I was considering doing this to save some money on my rental, and the website says the penalty is only $5 if cancelled before 24 hrs or $10 after 24 hrs or no show. I was thinking of waiting until the last possible minute (the day before) to set it up so that I would be totally sure of using the rental.

With all the "terms and conditions" alamo requires with the prepay why would anyone want to do it.You can get a better price with all the codes and coupons.I got a visa code and coupon on mousesavers for a standard suv for 10 days...price $227.Prepay couldn't beat it.

I agree the prepay rarely if ever saves any money. Just use a coupon/code combo and check in at the kiosk. Chances are you can save quite a bit of coin.

I don't do the prepay because I always end up canceling and rebooking because I'm able to find better rates... Seems like the rates are always changing & the closer we get to our travel dates sometimes the better rates I get...

My rate for Sept trip in April/May/June/July was about $180-$220, Just rebooked with alamo walmart code & alamos $25 ecoupon for $108.

So you can't combine the prepay with codes and coupons?
I thought that you could and that was why I was thinking of doing it.
I thought that I could lower my discounted rate even more.

Not sure about combining the codes & prepay.... As i mentioned I don't do it because if the price comes down & cancel & rebook it under the lower rate. we'd be subject to a penalty

No, prepay is a code itself, and you can only use one code. Usually there are other codes that are more lucrative, and then you don't have to worry about canceling and rebooking.
