Hert's computers generally will rate you at whatever is cheaper, your reserved rate or the adjusted rate. With a copy of your reservation in hand, the return counter can fix anything too out of whack.

I've gotten away with returning early many times, you probably safe.
Thanks for the posts! I've gotten the week rate to work for a rental that 4 days, 2 hours. I've got the reservation which should be proof of price, but am worried they'll hit me with an early return fee anyways. Any experiences?Last edited by dmitriy1; Aug 4, 2010 at 4:48 pm

Working Advantage is a kind of discount program offered as a kind of benefit to employees by participating employers. For an upcoming trip to Denver and Phoenix, I noticed some great rates at DEN and PHX through Working Advantage's program with Alamo.
Best discount for a rental of at least 5 days, valid through 12/31/10.
Contract ID#: WKADVANT and Coupon Code: AF4396SDN
For rentals less than 5 days, just use the Contract ID#: WKADVANT and skip the Coupon Code.
for a one car class upgrade use: Contract ID#: WKADVANT and Coupon Code: AU5059ODT
(Note: other discount codes I've used, not part of this Working Advantage program are I.D./Corp I.D. 428448 and Coupon code AF8928JDG, also another good I.D./Corp I.D. # is 675899.)
To add, here's a website I often use for finding discounts which in the past has helped save me a lot of money on past Alamo car rentals. www.momsview.com/alamo.shtml

Combining the two codes WKADVANT and AD5691JDV produced a rate $50 more expensive for me on a 4 day rental than just using AD5691JDV by itself. I would try it both ways before I booked it.
I remember reading that AD5691JDV is for quicksilver. Is there anything I should do besides sign up for quicksilver? I don't need to produce a coupon, do I?
Thanks!

weekly rental
Hi everyone,
i just used the this Contract ID 667719P2 for a week in SFO for a Fullsize SUV,
it includes all insurance and upfront fuel for 495$. Regular rate without insurance was 1095$. Don't know if its only good for weekly, but is a great deal if you need or want insurance.
And with this contract all car categories were able to be reserved, even they were not available with most other contracts.
Addition:
Just tried 667719P8 is another 50$ cheaper

Alamo 7014777 AD8863FJA (Entertainment Book) offers a $144 discount for a Raleigh, NC rental. It's only a 10% off coupon, but ID 7014777 kicks in a much $94 lower rate before the AD8863FJA coupon.
5/12/10-5/21/10 (9 day rental) RDU is $279.09 + tax/fees = $355.93.
The Alamo coupon activates a 185.03 (143.91/wk+20.56/day) rate - 20.56 coupon = 164.47 + taxes/feees = $211.57.
P.S. It's still higher than the $197.75 Thrifty rate (116.77/week + $18.89/day) that I reserved a few weeks ago, so won't help me, but perhaps it will help someone else.
----------------
In comparison, the other Entertainment Book car coupons save $30-40 on a 9-day rental. Here's what I've tried.
Thrifty $339
Dollar $339
Enterprise $344.05 -> ENT10WG $310.07 (Save -$33.95)
Budget $349.71 -> X443000 MUGZ366 $315.53 (Save -$34.18)
Alamo $355.93 -> ID 7014777, Coupon AD8863FJA $211.57 (Save -$144.36)
National $369
Avis $383.35 -> B790000 $345.95 (Save -$37.40)
Hertz $388

Premium pick up $161 wk a.i.
For DEN 6/1-6/8, used Costco ID# 7015309 and coupon #AD8221SDF for $106 base rate ++=$161 a.i. for a Chevy Silverado or similar for a week. The taxes are done at pre-discount levels, which is too bad.
