The above code at present time from American Casino Guide is not

giving the $20.00 off of the base price like I was able to receive the

other day at Alamo. Although it still is a lower price than my previous

one of over $100.00 for the compact.

yes I used them about 4 years ago and had no problems with them. I now

use Alamo because of the Kiosk. Very quick no front desk as all.

Sales tax 8.10% $3.76
Nv. Gov Survharge $7.87
This totals $58.47

$58.47 Surcharges, taxes, and recovery fee
$46.41 Car rental
$104.88
Can't complain with the total. It how they get there is my question. The charges (surcharges) are more than the rental charges.



It seems like the fees and taxes go up every year. At some point it will be cheaper to buy a car out there and leave it in storage for my trips

I just kept checking Alamo every morning and it was always $40.00 then on August 2nd for some reason it popped up $50.00 under Insider Deals. On top of that under the $50.00 it took another 10% discount of some kind off.

When you see a good deal you have to jump on it. It is amazing how quickly the offers disappear. I booked a midsize through the Southwest website with Budget for $15 a day. I was flying in on Jet Blue. Lots of places to look for car deals.

When posting rates/deals it would be helpful if you stated the size, time frame (number of days/approximate time of year) and company. If we can't get trip reports and members exploits at least we can share info. Thanks! Keep up the good work.
