We are on Alamo's mailing list and get offers. However, it's usually cheaper through rentalcars.

I usually use Alamobrits, have found them to be the cheapest recently and you can do online check in and walk straight to the car avoiding any queues.
Nifty will be along soon though to spread the news re Hertz0 -

the extra 'free' driver with Alamo Brits is always a Brucie (btw have you ever been asked for your copy of "Brits" ?)
Talking of the world of Hertz, I've just got a decent quote off them for next year, except for the $750 + taxes one way charge.0 -
Never been asked for my copy., have you0

still struggling to understand why nifty hasnt been back to let us in on how he can get these prices.
I am looking to hire a car next year in may for 13days
just as a comparison i have chosen a mid size/standard SUV
alamobrits is £327 all in, extra driver full tank etc.
rentalcars is (actually forgot to look but a small SUV is £324 plus extra for additional driver and full tank)
hertz is £480 didnt look to see what it includes
Avis is £460 again didnt check to see what it includes
this forum is all about helping others get the best deals
come on nifty0 -

I've not booked with Alamo for a while, as i've been put off by the idea of producing a book that I don't have ! Also, booking Alamo, via Expedia has worked out easier on the pocket, than Alamo direct.still struggling to understand why nifty hasnt been back to let us in on how he can get these prices.

thats a big old price difference for next year for you.
Its looking like I'll be using Avis for leg # 2 next year. Their one way charge is minimal, they give a wife / partner as a free driver (they don't publicise it, but its deep down in the T&Cs) and they've got the class of car that I'm after.
Alamo Brits / Alamo aren't offering the vehicle group that I'm after, plus charge a hefty one way charge.
Maybe Nifty been abducted by aliens and they're trying to extract the secret Hertz booking method from him/her :beer:0 -

hello Essex
I've mixed my bookings up
Alamo let you choose. Dollar have sometimes let me choose. Avis & Budget are suscpetible to my children looking cute and asking nicely.
I've amended my post.0 -
I have always chosen my cars with dollar and Alamo
The biggest advantage I find with Alamo is that you can do online check in and go straight to the car without stopping at any desk/queue
To do that you do have to register with Alamo and give them a few details.
As for the guide, there does seem to be people posting saying they have been asked for it, so I may get one, it will still be worth it0 -
Hi
We are thinking of hiring a car when we go to Las Vegas. We have never hired a car in the States before and finding all the different cost confusing. None of the prices give an indication whether insurance is included or paid at the time of collection.
Can anyone give me any further information on booking so that we are charged more money when we pick the car up. We just want to budget for everything before we go.
Many thanksStash Busting Challenge 2016 6/520
