Alamo car rental through Costco, Tampa airport, 15 days/nights, $202, full sized! - Timeshare Users Group Online Community Forums

What a deal. Including taxes and fees. That saved us so much money! I am so thrilled.

The price has been over $330 every time I checked, but this morning it was this price. I am so happy.

This was 9/14-9/29

I use Alamo throught the Costco site quite often. I also take advantage of getting SW credits from Alamo rentals. Great deal!

And it pays to check every day for car rentals - we got a great deal that only appeared for one day in Hawaii this spring - I'm hoping to repeat that in March of '09.

I also check every day. I have had great luck in the past, but it was looking grim for a while, then all of a sudden, this deal appeared today.

For me, Costco could not cokmpete with the discounts from Entertainment Book. For a full sized car, I saved about $75 over costco's best rate. don't even bother consulting Interval International

I saved using Alamo through Costco for Calgary in September. Have a full size car for one week $216 including all taxes. And, they will put a second driver on at no additional charge. I keep checking but so far that is the very best I can do. Hotwire is the only website that came close.

I use the Costco corporate code to get a free additional driver and their great base rate, then apply an Entertainment coupon for one free day.
