Just rebooked the same reservation for $92. $17 Savings!

You guys are not going to believe this, but I just checked the Alamo site using these codes and I got "Alamo is completely sold out at the Orlando International Airport for 10/20 to 10/29". WTH??? I guess I'll keep trying, but this doesn't mean no last minute deals. UGH

They are not sold out....it's the code that is sold out....

using code 7014667 will show sold out on some dates

using code 7015135 (insider) or visa code 7015504 will show cars available.

Add coupon AD2359FDF for additional $35

I get the "sold out" code for my rental for Oct. 15-29, but it works for the other codes. The 7014667 gave a better discount, but not available for all dates.

It means they're all "sold out" using that code and coupon. They still have vehicles available because I tried the Costco ID and coupon and the price is coming up around $255. Total.
I hope they keep dropping cause we need Oct 30 - Nov 12.

Thanks, guys. I realized that after I posted. I'll keep trying and see what we get. That Travelocity code for Budget is still my best bet right now, but I will keep checking.

Rates dropped again!
$204 for standard size, Oct 15-24
7015504/AD2359FDF

Used the 7015504/AD2359FDF codes and the website said I might need to present a coupon to be eligible for this code. Could you tell me what these codes are for? I am an Alamo insider, if that helps...Thanks!

Also, we usually rent from Dollar, so I'm not sure on this. Does Alamo assign you a car or do you get to pick your car from the row? I'm pretty tall, so I'm always looking for a car with more headroom!

I know of someone who rented from..Alamo...They rented a full size car and got to pick! Actually they got to upgrade to a van because they had some in the full size section!

Correct, you just walk up to your row that you reserved ex. Full Size and pick any vehicle from that row. It could be a Van or even a SUV if it's sitting in that row and you will still pay the full size price you reserved with.

I wonder what the odds are of that happening?

U just have to be lucky.

Odds are very slim, as posted you just have to be lucky.

After sitting somewhere near $300 for quite a while, we had a lot of movement on our rental today! Now we've got a fullsize from 10/8 to 10/15 from Alamo for $187. I used the 7014667 contract id and the insiders double upgrade coupon AU2852SDA (picked midsize, which was surprisingly cheaper than the economy rate).

This combination is still cheapest for us, but it's now $161! It's down over $100 from a week ago.

ETA: Or not! The combination of 7014667 and the Visa $30 coupon (AD2338FDF) gets us a standard for $154. Every little bit helps!

Anyone find a better deal for a mini- van rental out of TPA (7pm)on Oct. 15, and returning it at MCO early in the morning on Oct. 21? The best I can find is $474.
Thanks!

Using a drop off time of 8am, the Alamo insider code 7015135, and the visa $30 off coupon AD2338FDF, I got $464. A little bit better. Hopefully, it'll come down more soon.

Alamo coupon code AD7979sdx from AA for $35 off.

Anyone use this code at MCO yet when picking up their car? What coupon do you need to present and where do you get it? Thanks in advance!

These rates for Alamo have dropped so much that I am even considering renting a second car! Including taxes after coupons/codes a mid-size is $10 per day! We are annual pass holders and do not pay for parking. We are staying offsite. It might be helpful if we need to split up and would give us more room for our luggage and stroller.
