Help with Alamo

[jsmla]

Am locked into using Alamo (Priceline bid) and have joined Quicksilver. Any other tips to make this experience a little easier?
Flight arriving at 9:20 am, departing 6:50 am. Thanks

We used Alamo last May through priceline and got a great rate, I hope you did also. We had no problems at all. Everything went smoothly. If you are not getting the damage waiver you may want to bring a copy of your insurance card. They asked m for it ( I didn't have it). It apparently wasn't necessary as i was able to rent without getting the additional insurance.

Also when you drop off at the airport. We found it easier to drive to the terminal drop off the luggage with the sky cap, leave the wife and kids, return the car by myself and catch up to them at a predetermined spot. This made it easier than having to load the luggage onto the bus and from the bus to the curb.

Good luck and have a great trip.

I have used Alamo and found them to be just the same as any other rental company with an off site office.

Be prepared to repeat (quietly) that you want to decline extra insurance and/or collision waiver (if that is what you want). Car rental companies will come up with myriads of excuses such as "Florida law requires rental CDW". Not true.

I've used ALAMO everytime I've gone to WDW. You've done the best thing possible by joining Quicksilver. Have you used it before? If not, you still might have to stand in line (so they can verify your credit card). I would call ahead of time to verify what the first time procedure is. I don't think I had to stand in the line at all. This last trip we arrived at about 5:00pm and the line was kind of long (about 12 people), but I just had to walk up to the EMPTY Quicksilver machine , stick in my credit card and answer 1 or 2 questions. Then out pops the contract with the car's location. The keys are already in the car and off you go. It took me a total of about 1 minute. What kind of a deal did you get through Priceline?

With a priceline ressie you cannot use the Quick Silver kiosk, you can, however, stand in the Quick silver customer line. It is to the extream right as you enter the terminal.
I love the QS service. In and out in no time.
