How Bypass Alamo Counter Line?

[TwoAtDisney]

Arrive tomorrow MCO. Rental car = Alamo.

Online Checkin -
1. If I checkin online, can I bypass the counter line & go straight to the garage to select my car?
2. If I checkin online, do I give my credit card & don't get a refund if don't get there?

Insider -
1. Or, can I only bypass the counter line if signup as an Insider?
2. If signup as Insider, will my credit card be charged if don't get there?

Bypassing Line -
1. Is there a kiosk before I select my car & I stop there?
2. Or get car & drive to kiosk as I exit?

Thanks a lot.

YOu can do online check in and head straight to the garage.

You can use a kiosk located by the rental desk and then head to the garage.

There is no Kiosk in the garage for you to drive to at the exit.

Thanks Shelly for your reply. We are back & here's what happened.

Did not get to bypass line because I didn't checkin online; didn't want to give my credit card in advance. With the bad weather was concerned flight would be cancelled or delayed & my credit card would be charged.

MCO -
Line was not long at all; lots of agents at the long desk.
No pressure at all to buy extras.
No mention of gas refill & 10 mile gas receipt, which is good since it is not in their terms.
No keys given. Told to go to garage & select any car by size "Midsize" signs.
At garage, lots of midsize cars. Went down the line & got one with 1430 miles!
Returned car = no hassles. Agent was very pleasant, printed our receipt (correctly), & we were on our way.

Liked our experience with Alamo. Will use them again!

Is there a kiosk at the car care center?

Is there a kiosk at the car care center?

I'm not sure. We didn't look for one. We went straight to the cars.
