Alamo rental express ?

I'm going to the alamo site next. But I was wondering if I sign up DH for the express do they charge my card now, or when we pick it up? Also we are to pick it up at 4:30PM, if due to weather we go earlier, will they just charge us for a day more? The rate we have is 23.99/day. To rebook would be a $73 or more cause we return it Sunday of President's weekend, and those prices are up. Also what if we were to cancel, due to whatever, do they charge anything? Thanks

From my past experiences with Alamo (in other cities), they will do a pre-authorization on your credit card** when you pick-up the car, and then charge your card in full, once the vehicle is returned to Alamo.

This seems to be the norm, regardless of the renting agency.

** Debit card users beware! The "pre-authorization" can lock-up a few hundred dollars of your money and possbily wreak havoc with vacation finances...
