January Alamo Rental

Just rented a compact at Alamo from 1/15-1/23 for 116.50. Used 7015309 AD2359FDF.

Thanks Badger for the codes! It saved me almost $70 on a 9 day rental. I really appreciate it.

Badger: Where is that discount from? It's saying I might have to present a coupon to get that discount.

Just become member of Alamo Insider's club and then you can use the kiosk no need for coupon.

I am a member; but I was making a reservation for my brother. I didn't see that discount listed on the Alamo website.

Not sure where I picked the discount offer from. I have never had to show a coupon when I pick up the car. I probably got the offer from the transportation forum or sometimes they have special offers on the Alamo site. I just tried the offer and it was not there anymore.

I, too, have never had to show a coupon at pick up, even when I went to the counter.

7015309 is Costco. We are members, but we have never been asked for a card. Costco has revamped their car rental website so you have to put your membership number in online at the time you make the reservation (last time I checked, anyway).

Also: I reserved a car for Jan 31 into to February, and found that the Alamo Insider coupon "2-car upgrade" gave a much better price than Costco's coupon for the larger car sizes. You choose a Compact, and get a Standard. Choose a Mid, get a Full. So if you always rent a larger car (which we do), this other Insider coupon may be a better deal for you.

A little note on Alamo. I finally took two minutes to join the "Insiders Club" at Alamo and then went to look a prices- it may have just been a timing thing but the prices came down by almost 50%! I realize car rental prices change daily but I strongly encourage anyone to join the club.

Yeah, when I checked last weekend prices had really fallen. Now they're back up again. It's all luck...if you check at the right time. That's why I check almost every day.
