Alamo - reserved/paid for through Expedia and using the kiosk for check in

[momtoaaliyah]

I reserved and paid through Expedia for my car rental with a debit card. I'm trying to get all in order before we head out and was wondering if anyone knew if we can use the kiosk to check in or if this combination is going to make us have to hit the counter?

I am hoping not, as I've read the lines can be brutal.

Thanks You are all so helpful!

You should be able to use the kiosk. Just a FYI, have proof of your round trip travel handy, cause they will want to see it because you are using your debit card.

We've reserved through Expedia and went straight to the Kiosk

wierd it won't allow me to do online check in, thats why I thought I could not use the kiosk.

Hmmm. It was exactly this time last year and we were able to use the kiosk.
Can you look up the reservation on the Alamo site? Maybe I did it from there. Unless something has changed I know I was able to because we've always used Alamo and we have never been to the counter. The only time we've ever had to use a counter was when we booked through Priceline with Budget on one trip. Every other time it's been the Alamo kiosks.

ETA) I just thought of something else.. we're Alamo Insider members. Maybe we used our membership number when we booked through Expedia so they had all of our information? I don't recall exactly.

Maybe cause you used a debit card. Just guessing here.
