Is the Southwest ID for Rapids Rewards members or is it something different? Thanks for this helpful information!

I found it on the southwest website when I googled "southwest alamo promo code". We are flying southwest and are members, so I'm happy to use it, but I don't see why you'd have to be a member to use it. It isn't a company employee corporate code or anything, and you don't have to login in to see it either.

I think that if you provide your RR number with the Alamo reservation, you get double points or something. We don't fly enough to use that kind of promo, so I haven't stayed on top of all the rapid rewards details. Hope this didn't confuse you!

I tried using the Southwest ID and the Visa Coupon, but it comes up at over $600. What pickup location did you use?

Nevermind, I found it using MCO as a pickup location. I had tried Disneys Care car Center. Thanks for the info!

Whoops! Sorry I didn't mention that. Hope the codes helped!

The Alamo codes worked for me. I got a standard from 11/29-12/10 for $217. Still $60 more than I spent for exact time last year, but I'm happy with that. I'm going to keep checking until our trip, but I can definitely stomach that amount. Thanks for those codes!

Crud, it worked for me last night, but I was tired and decided to wait until today, and now it went way up.

 

[hurleysweety]

The rates for Alamo did go up slightly. When entered my dates, my ID codes are no longer giving me a discount. It shows that it is applied, but it no longer brings up a percentage off in the (XX.XX) on the side. I think this is pretty normal for the end of the weekend though. I hope to see the rate drop again towards the end of the week. I can't remember the specific reason/rumor why this happens, but I've seen it before! Here's to waiting for another drop next week!

It still shows me a discount, but the van is about $200 more for the two weeks, than last night.

Prices are staring to fluctuate for my Nov 3- Nov 10 trip ( but we are flying into TPA). Right now, Enterprise has a full size for 156 ( that includes all the fees taxes, etc)
I have an intermediate with Budget right now 185 (wendie code) I also have coupon that is supposed to be 30 off when car is returned, but wendie code is supposedly not combinable - can anyone confirm?

I'd rather used Budget than Enterprise (though I much prefer Alamo and National, but their rates are still sky high).

Last year, same week, I got a full size from Alamo for $86, which included all taxes and fees. I am pretty sure that won't happen again, though...

In April I also had an 86 dollar (taxes included!) rate for 9 days ! I keep hoping for that again !

This morning I beat my dollar rental, using Budget BCD U030073 and MUGZ029 (Costco coupon for 30 off) my total will be 166 after that coupon is applied, this is for a full size car.... Hope this helps someone ! It beat the wendie code for me

I booked using the Southwest ID (we are flying Southwest) and the VISA coupon. Do you think I will need to show them anything for the VISA coupon?

I ended up getting a van at $277 for the 9 days! Thanks again!

I've never had to show a coupon (visa or otherwise) since we always use the kiosk.

If you look on the visa website under car rentals. There is a link for Alamo that shows the coupon code. Some people like the peace of mind and print the info.

We are flying into TPA in December and the best I could get was 221 with Wendie for a full size. I didn't note coupons were not combineable with Wendie. It allowed met o put one in when I made the reservation!

I also wish Alamo/National would come down! Their prices aren't moving for me. I got excited when I read a couple of the other threads but it didn't help me

Looking for the best I can get for Nov 22-26 out of Sanford. Is everything at Sanford on site?? I have never flown in there before.

Rates just dropped for Alamo. Nov15-22 Standard Car for $131 using MasterCard and Costco codes. Includes taxes and fees...not as good as last year, but much better then it was!

Glad they dropped for you! I'm a couple weeks ahead so my rates have actually gone up since the big drop last week. Looks like it this drop will work well for people going towards the middle-end of November.

Rates at Alamo have gone waaaay up for my dates this morning. My rental for a Standard Nov 14-23 is now $469 using my Insiders ID code and the VISA coupon AD2338FDF. Interesting to note that the Full Size is the exact same price. Still hoping my $183 will come down some more over the next 3 weeks.
But considering it started out close to $600, I can live with it. Still checking numerous times a day.
