Intermediate SUV Aisle at MCO??

[jessiegirl1982]

Anyone know what SUV's are typically in this aisle? Also, does Alamo put any type of security deposit down (or just the price of the rental)? Got a killer deal of $170 for 9/2-9/9, p/u @ MCO, drop off at Disney Car Center through Costco.

We were there in May, got a Jeep Cherokee Limited. We also had a Chevy Traverse from FLL that we dropped off at MCO. Both were considered intermediate SUVs.

What did you find out for a deposit at Alamo? Thanks!

When booking Alamo through Costco, there is no deposit required at the time of reservation. They will put a hold on your credit card for the expected amount of the rental when you pick up your rental vehicle, but nothing additional at that point.

If you do online check in on the Alamo web site (you need a free Alamo Insider account and the Alamo confirmation number shown on the confirmation received from Costco, just under the Costco reservation number), you can sign up to use the Skip the Counter service and proceed directly to the garage to pick your vehicle from the appropriate aisle. In that case, they will take a credit card number and run a $1 authorization to valudate the credit card at the time you complete the check in, but no actual charge is submitted until you pick up the car. Note also that Costco rentals include a free second driver. You can add the second driver details when you complete the Skip the Counter form at the Alamo web site. I find I need to add the second driver ID before putting in my own information or I have to re-enter my data after adding DW to the reservation. Skip the Counter is really convenient, similar to National’s Emerald Club with the lower costs of a Costco/Alamo rental.
