Can I avoid the counter at MCO with priceline?

Hi,
In the past, we've always rented from Alamo or National so that we can avoid the counter and go directly to the garage. Priceline has a better price for a rental through Alamo. It says I can pay at the counter. Will priceline send me the option of paying on the day of pick up online or will I have to go to the counter?

Once you have an Alamo confirmation number, you should be able to go into your Alamo Insider account, retrieve the reservation, and do an online checkin with the Skip the Counter option. I’ve never used Priceline, but I do this routinely with Alamo bookings through Costco. Costco provides two confirmation numbers, a Costco number and an Alamo number. I assume that Priceline would have to do something similar so that the Alamo agent can find the reservation.

Thank you for this advice. I ended up going with Budget through Priceline. Alamo couldn't come close in price. I called and added my Fastbreak to the reservation and can now avoid the counter. Thank you again for responding!
