May 2012 Car Rentals

[n2mm]

siennas are in a separate row. They are considered 8 passenger van, cost more and they are on the list of cars under the "cars" listing on the alamo web site. If they don't show up on a search for MCO it is probably because they are sold out. They are quite popular and do sell out. The T&C, IMHO, is the best van out there. We also have Kia Sedonas as a mini van choice.
My suggestion to you, if you want one, is to call Orlando and see if it is available. You simply never know.

Thanks. It's was just strange no matter what dates I search it never comes up. We are 6 so any minivan will do, but do like the T&C the best.

I just got a Minivan for May 9th a week for 224.00 including taxes. Hopefully it will go just a tad bit down. =)

Thanks everyone for the codes.

ccgirl - I have reserved a midsize from Alamo for May 16 - 22...used my Insiders ID # with Costco 7015309 corp code and the AD8221SDF coupon code. (I wonder if the last few days pattern will hold for tomorrow? ...here's hoping!)

Thank you! Mine is full size from May 10 - May 20. So, I think I am okay with the $141. I will keep checking though. I still can't believe this great rate! I was budgeting $275 so this is awesome!

We are going May 14-25 (12 days) and I have a Mini Van for $312. The way things are going for April Rentals...it looks like they drop down a couple weeks before the dates...I am really hoping to be around $250 or less.

Just rebooked my Alamo mid-size for 5-9/5-14 @ $116.14. Used Visa discount ID and AD2359FDF coupon code. Down from $133 yesterday!

Question: do those of you making these changes book a new reservation each time? I wasn't sure if you could modify for the new rate. Second - do you have a way of keeping the info entered in the Alamo system, or just re-enter each time you check? I've been checking so often each day, I'm getting tired of typing the same info over and over...

I'm still at $185 for our 12 day rental. Hoping it will come down some more soon!

I make a new ressie each time since for some reason I can't get the cheaper rate if I just try and modify it. I have 5 cancels now! Lol
Some of my info does stay on their site but I do have to put in certain info each time. Such as pick up times. You can create an account with them and just sign in each time and most of your info will be there.

LOL - yes, I have 6 alamo emails in my folder now. A few are cancellations, but still...

Thanks for the info. I sometimes sign into my Insider's account, but even then the only info filled in is my Insider's ID and name. Maybe I need to check settings or something.

Good luck getting your rate lower!

Insiders only holds your name and Insider's account number when you log in. You have to plug in your dates and pick up times and location each time you make a new reservation. Also, coupon codes and other info.
The information you supplied when you joined will appear when you book a reservation. Such as your license number, address, etc.

I just used the costco low rate finder (on costcotravel.com) and reserved a fullsize car, with Alamo, from 5/14-5/20 for $85.17 including taxes!!! The base rate was $44.14. I can't believe how low it is. Hopefully some of you can get this rate too. Good luck!

Cool, thanks for the reminder. I just got our 12 day Alamo rental down to $177.00! Another $10 off!

I'm shocked and thrilled that the pattern held today and we are now at $79.29!

I now have six bookings and five cancellations...I made sure I'd cancelled all of the bookings except the most recent by searching my e-mail for 'alamo' and then comparing the booking numbers to be sure there was a confirmation and cancellation for each one.

Wow, some of you mid-May folks are getting great deals. I'm still watching for an early May rate. They have dropped a couple of times over the last few days, so that is good. Still a 13 day rental is about $240 right now. Still much higher than what others are getting. I'm also holding a rental for April and those rates have been crazy. One day low then hours later is triples. It's like playing the stock market! I need a 3 week rental and part of it needs to be a minivan. I've got the minivan part taken care of, just working on the full size part. It's slowly coming together. The plan is to have a minivan for the first 12 days then take the family to the airport and switch to a full size on May 1 for another 13 days. Still 2+ weeks left. I was really hoping for a rental with National (my favorite) but they are not budging in price right now. So right now Alamo is the best deal in town.

...don't feel too badly, end of May isn't getting those rates either. AND - if I use my Alamo Insider ID with my Costco coupons - the rate is $30-50 higher. So, that totally isn't working out for my dates yet.

THOUGH - this afternoon, the Enterprise rates dropped! AND - if I played with the times, I got it even lower. 8 days for $151.. Lowest per day cost yet for my trip. Try playing with the times...

I was out of town all day today, and decided to check again tonight before I went to bed. Booked my midsize for $75.79!

I need to go through and be sure I've canceled all the other bookings - but I did check yesterday. I have to be careful, though, I once accidentally canceled the "good" reservation!

gmeh1 - Thanks, I guess I won't worry about checking my settings. Good to know!

Not sure if this has been mention but wanted to share a $30 off Costco Member coupon for Alamo weekly rentals. The coupon is good thru 6-30.

AD8221SDF

Yep, that's the one a lot of us are using. However, I switched to code
AD2359FDF, which is an American Airlines code anyone can use and it's for $35 off!
