Autoslash ?

[sommergirl25]

Hello! So I was made aware of Autoslash and found a good deal on minivan rentals. The cheapest I have seen anywhere. My question is..... would you go with Alamo at $303 or National at $317? I keep reading that Alamo has the longest counter lines. Would it make more sense to pay a little more and maybe not have the super long lines? Thanks for any responses! We have not rented a car in almost 10 years so this feels all new to us!

Updated to add*** I got nervous and just rented the one through Alamo. I am able to cancel for free. So to add... the Alamo website let me put my reservation number in, does that mean I should be able to online check in and skip the counter?

Hi I just booked thru auto slash too. I chose Alamo and then I registered for their rental tracker. They will track your price and if they find a cheaper rental they will email you. I originally chose Alamo but after realizing they charge extra for a second driver I switched to enterprise which was cheaper anyways.

I cancelled my first reservation and rebooked easy as 1,2,3!

Alamo and National are the same company so it really doesn't matter which one your rent from. At MCO they both pull from the same lot of cars.

I rented from Alamo before in Anaheim. I got delayed on our arrival... And as a result, had an upgrade in vehicle from a car to a bigger SUV. (Which was amazing when schlepping 5 of us across SoCal.)

I never had an issue, and like others mentioned, Alamo and National are the same anyways.

Alamo does allow you to use the kiosks and skip the line, right? I booked with them through Autoslash, as well, and was hoping to avoid long lines.

Yes. They encourage it. When the lines are long there will be a staff member suggesting the kiosks.
