Hey Guys! This is a great deal, and similar to the one Alamo had running in the spring. Saved me tons of money!

Alamo Weekend Rentals

Economy and Compact: $10/day
Midsize: $14/day
Fullsize: $18/day
Premium: $20/day

* Economy through Premium size cars
* Valid between 8/20/09 - 9/21/09 (and potentially 9/28)
* Pickup as early as 9am Thursday
* Keep Saturday overnight
* 1-day minimum, 4-day maximum rental (96 hours)

_________________________________

WARNING:
If you want to keep your car for more than 4 Days / 96 hours, that standard rates apply for the ENTIRE WEEKEND RENTAL.

Example: If you want to rent your car at 9am Thursday, you need to return it by 9am Monday morning. If you keep it until 5pm Monday, Alamo will not prorate the deal, and you'll pay full price. Luckily, the website will show you the higher rates as soon as you try to book it.

I was able to book a Compact Car in Austin, TX for $53.99 from Friday-Monday :-D

Why doesn't it understand "SEA" for the airport code? I will be landing in Seattle-Tacoma airport. Maybe this airport does not have Alamo Rental?

I tried booking for LAX 9/10-9/14 but said the date is too far. I hope it works when the date becomes closer!

It says rent by 8/20, so you probably just got a cheaper rate due to fluctuations in the market, not necessarily the $10 a day deal. But nice job, either way!

I did LAX at 9am as stated, and i got $140 for 9/10-9/14. Anyone know why? charging me $22/day for compact

Yeah, if you book it at 9am Thursday, you have to return it by 9am Monday morning. If you return it at 10am Monday morning, the normal rate applies ($22/day). There's a 4 Day Maximum on the Deal. If you rented at 12p Thursday, it'd have to be back to Alamo by 12p Monday. The deal only works within the specific guidelines. If you want to keep your car till say Tuesday, or an extra few hours on Monday, they charge you the normal rate, instead of prorating the deal...
