Alamo Rental...Should I add my flight# to reservation?

[iluvwesties]

Hi All

I will be arriving at MCO on Saturday am (May 20th) and was wondering if I should have added my flight # and airline to my reservation

I didn't notice this option when I made the reservation, but have noticed it since re-checking the rates daily

I managed to reserve at a great rate for the time I am there ($13.90 per day for a compact)

I am a little concerned that if I go into my reservation info on the webside and modify" to add the flight info that the rate may change

My other thought was to call Alamo and tell them the info

I am intending to do "online checkin" via the website before I leave for the trip, to try and avoid the lines

Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Yes. Do it by phone; they can add it without mucking up the rest of your reservation.

Having the flight number in your reservation record protects from getting your rental rate cancelled as a "no-show" in the event that your flight is late. You should ALWAYS have it on the reservation anytime you rent at an airport.

Hi NotUrsula

Thank you for the reply

I called Alamo and added my flight info to the reservation.

They informed me that by doing this, they will guarantee the rate I have for up to 6 hours after the reservation time requested

Thanks again
