Your welcome...... glad it is working for you.
I changed to Costco not only for the cheaper rate but I am hesitant to use a code that I may not be entitled to. Although the "Maui" code gave a great price and CDW, if I was in an accident would Alamo not cover me (CDW) cause I used a code that I had no business in using........ And that is what it comes down to.
What dates did u use for Costco? Costco gives me really lousy rates. Also, if you pay by a Gold Credit Card or if you transfer youre vehicle inusrance or have a rental vehicle option with your private insurance, that should, in theory I believe cover you in the event you're in an accident. I believe the same would apply if you used a code that didn't include CDW that you may not be entiteld to.
While planning my Hawaii trip, the other day I get this twitter tweet from Island Air about car rental discounts. Since I mostly use Alamo, I click on the Alamo link and it takes me to the Alamo site with ID /Corp ID already set for # 7014846. For some strange reason I am getting the best deals with that Corp ID. (Especially when combined with any coupon from costco). But for the life of me I cannot find any info on that Corp ID except that its from Hawaii Island Air. There is no mention of what type of discount it offers. Even though it seems like its over 25% off.
Does any one have any info on Corp ID 7014846?
or for that matter is there a list of Alamo Corporate ID #'s, product code and rate codes listed anywhere?
Thanks

Reason: added last question
Just wondering if there is any additional scoop on Alamo ID 7012298?
I used it and Alamo e-coupon code AU2729MJW (free upgrade on compact or midsize from Alamo Hot Deals) for a reservation 9/4/09-9/20/09 in Lihue, Kauai.
Screaming deal:
$342.98 total for a Midsize (Pontiac G6 or similiar)
includes additional driver, unlimited miles, Full CDW
It almost seems to good to be true, so I'm keeping a back-up reservation.
Has anyone actually rented with this? Problems? Could you use the Kiosk?

3Chihuahuas per my earlier post I used this code for a trip last weekend to Orlando, checked in at the desk and had no issues at all, saved me at least $100 for the booking.

Most coupns are "e-coupns" so there is no issue there. There are some that require a paper coupn, which will pop up a flag for the rental agent to ask for it, otherwise if its an e coupon, no need to worry.

I agree, except for Entertainment Book coupons, I believe you need to present them at the counter. There is a $20 off coupon in there for Alamo and the book now goes for less than $15 including free shipping.

Not anymore. Those coupons are also available as "on line" coupons through Entertainment.com, so as long as your are using the online coupon code, Alamo will not require you to present a "hard" copy.

Good stuff. I used the paper coupon and I had the message that the coupon may need to be shown at check-in. I changed the coupon to the online coupon code and it did take, but there is still a message that coupon may need to be shown at check-in. I didnt use the recommend promo code by Entertainment but the above code posted earlier. Unfortunately, there is also no way to do an online check-in. I suppose you have to use a kiosk instead?

I have the same question when using the Costco codes. Alamo says I might have to present a coupon. The costco site says I just have to show them my membership card. I also think that I cannot use the web-checkin and have to use the Kiosk.

Its just a code, no coupon.... nothing printable
Anyone have any experience with Costco/Alamo?
I have used the Costco/Alamo promos in the past I was never asked to show any Coupons or membership card in the past.
Does anyone know if Alamo can drop you off on the strip after you return your vehicle? I know the other car rental facility, Thrifty and Enterprise on Car Rental Rd did that.
