Alamo offers 15% off on UK rentals and free upgrades in Europe

Alamo is offering 15% off on all UK car rentals of three days or longer. The discount is applied to those rentals booked through the alamo.ca website. In order to qualify, all bookings must be arranged online by December 10, 2007 and the car must be picked up before this date as well. All car hires must also be for three consecutive days and can be collected at most Alamo locations in the

UK. In order to enjoy the lowest rates,

Alamo does require that drivers be at least 25 years old on the day of the pick-up. There may also some blackout periods during peak rental times and as such, it is advisable to arrange all bookings well in advance of the projected pick-up date.   The 15% discount is deducted from the basic rental fee, while all taxes (such as VAT) as well as insurance and damage waivers are still calculated separately. Collision damage waivers normally cost around £15 in the

UK.

 In addition to the UK discount, Alamo customers are also offered free upgrades for car rentals in continental

Europe, as part of a new promotional deal. For example, when customers pay for a compact car, the rental price will be the one normally applied to an economy vehicle. The same is applicable for medium and full-size rentals. The offer is valid in a total of 20 European counties, but will expire on December 31, 2007. As an added bonus, there is no minimum rental period, so those hiring a car for even a single day can benefit from this promotional.
