So you are above the rules? If it says Saturday night stay is required, then it is required. You were not entitled to a refund, yet you still received it, so maybe you should show some type of gratitude for that and rent from them in the future. There are two types of people on FW...people looking for a good deal without ripping someone off, and those with the selfish attitudes who will do anything and rip anyone off to save a dime. You fall into the latter.

I used this Alamo deal for a weekend trip to Seattle in February. I got a Toyota Avalon for $40 for three days. There wasn't any other company that was even close. Whenever I book a rental car, Alamo is the first place I look. Great post OP.

Check for any fine print. Mines required a Saturday stay (which I never noticed to begin with). I just got back from a trip a couple weeks ago using a $10/day (18 for full size) Alamo promo. I booked a Fri thru Sunday rental. Instead of having to wake up early Sunday morning to return the car, I decided to return the car at about 11:40PM Saturday night so we could sleep in a bit more. My $18 rate became a $56 rate. After 15minutes of "It's not Alamo's fault, I'm not required to credit you, it clearly states on your email the Saturday stay," he eventually credited me the 90 or so dollars. My fault for not reading, but I couldn't believe he'd give me attitude for returning the car 20 minutes early. I thought to myself this is the last time i'm using Alamo (sticking with Emerald Club/National I got off of FW). Adding to the bad experience, when I arrived in late Thursday night, my car wasn't even there. Online check-in service stating my car would be guaranteed blah blah blah. I had to go back to the counter wait in line for 30+ mins then directed to National to get my car. no upgrade/ no nothing.

Any Ferrari's I can rent?

nm...not worth it anymore
mod please delete

It's weird that Alamo doesn't have a place in the Newark airport. Thanks anyway op.

is it not just across the street, via shuttle, on 1 by the beer?

Thanks OP. Just in time for my Memorial Day w'end trip to LAX.

Damn. saw this too late. booked 3 day ATL memorial day weekend rental at Priceline for 110$. This would have got me that for 80$. Now I will kick myself for jumping the gun too early with Priceline.

IT IS FOR WEEKENDS...not an 11 day rental at $10 a day.

Did you even try any of the codes in the UPDATED RENTAL CAR MATRIX that is posted as a sticky at the top of this thread.

We are not your personal travel agents...you beg for assistance and show no research. The OP posted this as a deal and if you took the time to notice all the other posts were deals and thanks not lazy, no research posts.

You state you found $578...no indication on what codes/coupons used (which there are hundreds of in that thread I mentioned), no mention of car size, company, etc.

Read thru rental car matrix and try several codes, coupons and see what you can find.

If you can't call a travel agent as we are not paid travel agents...

I guided you where to find codes...

Also, rent on the hour as it is cheaper for some reason.

Since I am an Emerald Club member with National, I was wondering whether I can choose my own car with Alamo too? I don't have any idea about rental car at Seattle airport though. Kindly advice.

I think Alamo always lets you choose your car.

Edit: the other Alamo $10 per day weekend rate is good until 6/13/09.

"May not be available Memorial Day weekend 5/21 thru 5/25"

I used Priceline name your price and got a compact car from Denver airport for 8 days for $214 (including taxes and fees). It was $18 per day. I think this costco deal still less than what I got from Priceline but I am not a costco member.
