I booked a mid size SUV directly through Dollar Nov 12-17 for $179 all in.

 

[DRdancemom]

Yes, it's the same price through Dollar directly, only a few dollars more than an economy car.

I am a costco member and an alamo insider; what coupon code is everyone using for $30? I only have a $25 code for costco.

COSTCO Contract ID (code) = 7014627

VISA $30.00 off Coupon Code = AD2338FDF

I get a better price for Costco going through the Costco Travel website than I do using the Alamo site. Only thing is I can't use the Visa Coupon on the Costco Travel Website.

I can't find anything better than this mysterious Vegas Brazil code for Alamo, so I'm going with it for now for our trip 10/31-11/7.

7-Passenger Minivan for 8 days for a total price of $263.15.

It says CDW and 1 additional driver included.

Wow, I just got on Alamo and Costco to check for lower prices, but they went up considerably!! I knew it would be any day now that their rates jumped

 

[DRdancemom]

I was just able to book a fullsize with Alamo for $161 total 11/17-11/24 8 days using alamo insider and the $30 Visa code from above!

Late last night I was able to lower my 11/19-11/27 minivan rental from 403 to 318....used same codes of Vegas Brazil & Visa on both ressies. Also have a backup Costco just in case there are issues with Vegas Brazil code. I haven't seen any reports of issues yet.

I do not believe so. It is a discount code and those who have used it have not reported any issues. Those reports I have read used the Alamo kiosk at the MCO airport, and had good experiences.

Do you need to pay with your visa card if you use the visa code to book?

Do you need to pay with your visa card if you use the visa code to book?

Yes you do.

 

[ebmouse]
