Alamo Fast Check In

Does anyone know if all drivers need to be present at the desk, or would a copy of their driving license be enough? I ask because we are a party of eight with two cars booked, but I really don't want the queues to be enormous by the time we get our luggage, so I was hoping to have two adults at the car desk, and two collecting the luggage. Is this possible?

Thanks

If you are sending people ahead, then remember they will need separate customs forms, unless you mean that you will not take the bags on the transit and some wait at the second belt.
All drivers usually have to sign. I guess though if you send people ahead, then they can wait with the paperwork to the side of the desk for you to arrive, or maybe add the other drivers at the booth?

Anyone had anymore experiences with this 'Fast Check In' yet please?

Also how do I go about this online jobbie? Do I need to get the details from my Travel Agent etc?

And finally [:I]

Where is the luggage collection compared to the Alamo car registration thingy? I was going to do the car thing while the missus did the bag hunt. [^]

Thanks in advance

Did I mention... only 49 days???

I did this. Straight downstairs from luggage reclaim, turn right (or left if you use the lift!!) and then just walk along and you will see Alamo signs. Main door to garage behind you, over road, up one flight and then select your car. Easy

This is the link you need to use

https://www.alamo.com/index.do?actio...o-intlSaveTime

The Confirmation Number is shown on your voucher as "Supplier Confirmation" - enter it on the Alamo site minus the word 'COUNT' at the end.

hi all ,

just back from the Sunshine State,
I registered car hire details with Alamo Save time. printed paperwork before i went. On arrival i joined queue at rental desk as normal, lucky a rep was checking everyone had vouchers , licence etc
ready and when he noticed what i had done he sent me straight to the
Alamo garage, picked my car and the guy at security swiped my visa card and i was on my way ,sorted!

So if you are heading over soon register at the Alamo webpage,
and save a bit of time. I reckon i saved a 30min wait at the rental desk..

Hi Roger

I registered this way in LOctober with no problems, however I just tried to register the supplier Confirmation Numvber (leaving out the word count)for our upcomming trip and it came back saying this was booked through an agent and that I should contact them.

[roger]

Can you send an email (info@uscarhire.co.uk) with your order number and so we can look in to it for you. Let Roulla know this is in reference to the post on the forum that I replied to.

Yes, this is not available to no US residents (I thought you were trying to register for Direct Road).

We're still hoping soon to have an option for our customers to be able to use the kiosks, but I'm hesitant to give a time scale as these things take such a long time to reach agreement!
