Anybody used this Skip the Counter service from Alamo? I have registered all my details and CC, so should be able to go straight to the rental car. Has anybody used this service, and is it really that easy?

Thanks.
This year we flew into Tampa airport and despite the following:- 1) everything completed upfront, online, in advance with Alamo 2) Tampa airport being on the 'skip the queue' official Alamo listing 3) Tampa airport being as quiet as a mouse - we still were not allowed to go straight to pick up a car. They said it was because we had booked via a 3rd party (ie. OV car hire) and they needed to double check everything. I didn't fancy an argument but for next time, what should/can we do Roger?

Hi Roger, don't remember having those exact words on our confirmation but on their home page they state the following:-
When you "Skip the Counter," you don't need to visit the counter or kiosk. You can go straight to your car!
This optional service is offered free of charge at select locations in the Online Check-In process. Check if your location qualifies for "Skip the Counter." Tampa, FL Tampa International (TPA) is one of those listed

I have just gone through the online check-in with Alamo at Tampa and there is no mention on the paperwork of 'skip the counter' so wonder why it is a on the list of airports.
It is a very tricky check in form anyway as some of the dates are in the American style and some in the British style.
I did 2 rentals in the last week and it was the first time I have used the online check in. To be honest I thought it was very simple and quick - the date format is pointed out (MM DD or DD MM). I picked up at Disney and MCO, just went straight to the car and that was it. Real bonus avoiding the queue. When you check in online you will end up with a sheet to print out that contains the rental info and a long bar rental the top. Be aware that the sheet disappears after you close it down. So if you have not printed it you will need to register again (as I did the first time around). So be prepared to print before opening the document.

I have printed out the three pages of the check-in and there is no barcode to be seen.
