I just saw this deal today. It's going to save me a boatload of money at MDW, which seems to consistently have insanely high rental care rates. I just wish I could also get the quadruple Rapid Rewards promotion for this rental. That would be really sweet.

Thanks for the heads up! Just booked a res in FLL for February. $30 for 3 days...$25 in taxes. But a deal is a deal.
Strange though that it was only offered for Economy through Full Size. No Premiums. Premiums are still offered as available when the rate code is removed.

Thank you, Beckles. Incredible deal. Just rebooked my car rental for a four-day trip to HNL in a few weeks. I went from a compact car for $125.88 all-in to a full-size for $57.45 all-in.

Guess demand in LAS is high the weekend I'm going because I'm not getting that rate.

Thanks indeed to OP. Also booked FLL for 2 days over a weekend. This especially comes in handy with Priceline not giving very good rates of late in that city.
(BTW, last time I was in FLL I had a single-day Priceline booking. Used the self-serve kiosk at Alamo because the line was long. Had to manually enter my driver's license, but other than that it got everything right, making it my first successful use of one of those machines for a PL booking).

Great deal indeed! Just re-booked an upcoming rental in ANC - saved a bunch of money and got a bigger car! Too bad Alamo doesn't have an office at my local airport...

Tried to book the $10 rate today after it worked yesterday and no such luck! What a bummer! Was looking at a great rate for LAS for the first week of March. Does anyone think that Alamo just puts up the rates on certain days and takes them down on others?

Tried to book again by refreshing the reservation a couple of times and the $10/day popped up! Booked a premium for $45 total. Awesome!
