Priceline cars - can I still use time savers?

[wings91]

If you win a car bid from price line, can you still use the fast checkout features of the rental company? For example, the Alamo kiosks or National pick your own car. Or do you always need to go to the rental counter for each rental agency?

From my experience, anything that requires a membership (National Emerald Club, Hertz #1 Club Gold) is off-limits, but stuff like Kiosk-check in should work fine. Somebody else can correct me if i'm wrong.

Sorry, you can't add any kind of loyalty program information to a Priceline or Hotwire reservation and you'll need to go to the rental counter to pick up your car. HOWEVER, if you are booked with Alamo you sill get to pick out your car from the aisle after stopping at the counter.
