any feedback on Allamo car rental at San Diego airport area? |
|
WE had booked a SUV with Hertz and with a AAA discount that gives you one complimentary child seat the rate was $406 (this was including a $20 hertz website coupon for a weekly rental) Looking around with car seats the prices were $550- $800 for 8 days. We will have a double stroller and 3 large suitcases and carry on so we needed a vehicle with plenty of trunk space ie SUV or Minivan. Priceline doesnt guarantee car seats so this is why we didnt chance them. I had booked through HERTZ 3 mths ago and last night I had the time and thought I would call around to see if competitors had better prices now.Turns out Allamo has a special on and we were able to get a minivan with 2 car seats for $325. They also said to watch their website for a $25 coupon which 2009 will be updated soon.FANTASTIC prices.. I just wanted to see if anyone else was happy with them? I wanted to stick with a company I had heard of rather then a individually owned car rental company. |

bump.... The rates with taxes for 8 days without car seats is $226 is this too good to be true??? Or are we seeing reduced prices due to the economy etc. | ||||||

In my experience, Hertz is always more expensive than many of the other companies. I have not used Alamo here in town but it is a major chain and so to me-same/same. | ||||||

Riffsie... Really . I called 5 different companies and they were up to $800 for a minivan or standard Suv with 2 car seats.. Car seats are $100-$120 for two of them. When the children get older I will bring my own booster seats with me but the child seats are much larger/heavier. I think you would be lucky to find even on Priceline 8 day minivan for $188.. thanks for your input.. | ||||||

Alamo as Riffs said is a major chain here so you should be OK with them. It pays to shop around. :o) There are Alamo shuttle busses that go through the airport terminals about every 10 minutes to take you to the Alamo rental site. | ||||||
|
When I said "same/same" I didn't mean price. You asked about the company and I meant they were the same as all the other large car companies here in town. | ||||||
|
Riffsmom I knew what you meant. Alot of them are reputable as they are big chains. There was a post few mths back that had a review on some of the wait times to pick up their cars/customer service. I will go back and see if I can find it. | ||||||
