I just booked a rental car from Alamo from Costco travel link on weekend rental, Saturday rental is required.

Starting with $10 per day on compact. My 3 day midsize rental came out to be $52, tax included.

Good thru 6/27/09

Fixed Direct Link

Update 5/20/09: Fixed Link. Seems like popular destinations are sold out.

Alamo's own website is advertising $20 per day.

wow, thanks for the heads up. I reserved a compact for 2 days for $36 including tax. I'm still going to try for some lowball bids on Priceline, but its nice to have this as a backup.

Or in a more positive light, some locations are still available

damn, it was good for a DC booking, but then I read this..

"When picking up your rental car please be prepared to show your Costco membership card to the Alamo representative. Your Costco membership number may also be required at time of reservation."

but then I noticed you mentioned Alamo's own site is doing $20 per day which is still a great deal. Just saved $50 over my Avis booking. Thanks!

Costco membership fee is worth every penny of it. It has the best customer service and its merchandises are all top of the line. I love my Costco.

You have saved me $30! Thanks!

Just got back from vacation using Costco Rental Car link. Never had to show my Costco card but they won't give you any discount or upgrade unless you show them the printout of the discounts. Even though codes were in the computer, she acted surprised when I gave her the printout. AND I never got a % off. Our friend put it on his credit card as he had ins coverage otherwise I would fight it.

nothing available in DC .

It's cheap but it's not that cheap. If you check Enterprise, the price is less than $20 for standard size.

nm...not worth it anymore

Problem here is Alamo and National are the same company.

I only use Alamo since they put in Self Check-In kiosk. I had had enough with rep trying to upsell or add more insurance. Simple push of "No, no, no, I decline" on touch screen is priceless.
