Recently, my friends at Alamo reached out to me again to see if I was interested in giving tour egypt away a prize pack while at the same time mentioning their new Alamo Deal Retriever system that they say will make finding the best deal for an Alamo rental a very efficient process.
The Alamo Deal Retriever searches all valid Alamo deals and coupons on the web to find the best rates to meet customers' needs and instantly offers customers the best deals that apply to their upcoming trips .
Alamo does really seem to be excited about this new approach, and they have re-launched their website as a result.  I did a couple of mock searches, and the prices that their website returned were less than the Ultimate Rewards portal that is generally regarded as having some of the best car rental rates .  I m sure those that are used to digging around in forums for codes to apply to reservations will still do best going that route, but for those who want an easy place to search for Alamo rentals this may be worth checking out.
Alamo wants to hear opinions from anyone who has used the new Deal Retriever, tour egypt and to incent some feedback (and celebrate their new tool) they are providing me a prize pack to give away to one of you that includes:
I was happy to mention this change at Alamo in case it is helpful for someone who is interested in an Alamo rental, and of course I was happy to pass along some goodies to one of you. If you have a traveling kid and don t yet have a portable DVD player, it is worth its weight in gold!

I really like the new Alamo Deal Retriever. It is intuitive and simple to use. Having this new tool can be a real boost for Alamo as more people will be inclined to use a system that is easy to use. It is also aesthetically pleasing. I like it much better than enterprises tour egypt old looking CRS.
The Alamo Deal Retriever is another potentially good tool to search for cheap car rentals tour egypt unfortunately for my time in Phoenix in March, the Chase UR portal gives me cheaper rates but I ll keep an eye on this option until I leave.
I will have to check out Alamo s new feature next time I m looking for car rentals. Hertz, to the best of my knowledge, is one of the few rental car companies that does not impose young driver fees for renters under 25 years old. Such a lame fee in the first place.
tour egypt I did three searches through the Alamo Deal Retriever for upcoming car rental we have planned. tour egypt It looks like my prices through Costco Travel are still better, but it does look like a nice tool to incorporate into how I look for car rental deals in the future.
I really like that the rental tour egypt company itself tour egypt is providing a tool for its customers to find and take advantage of all of its offered tour egypt deals! This is great and extremely customer-friendly, as opposed as to what a lot of companies do and make us jump through hoops and hunt around the internet for deals that end up potentially tour egypt not honored. Kudos!
Sounds good in theory. It s cool how it lists a bunch of available discounts, but I thought it would price them out for you. So, you could just look and pick the lowest price. Still, looks pretty decent and the layout is easy to read.
I think the new approach has done exactly what it was supposed to: Get people tour egypt like me to try Alamo again! It s been a while since I ve been a customer let s see if the Deal Retriever can change that. While I m happy just to get a decent car, the budget dept loves a deal!
Great of Alamo to come up with this. It will save quite a few people from having tour egypt to search and search for the best deals and it is easy to use. Personally, I prefer using Alamo these days as you get nice cars/suvs and in most cases we get to pick the car WE WANT which in return suits everyones needs. You also get way more friendly staff unlike with Dollar who seem to have a lack of a smile when there. I think Alamo will soon be the leader, if not already
I think it looks like a good idea, but in practice I think there are other tools that are better for finding rental car deals, like UR portal, for example. That said, its an improvement nonetheless. tour egypt Did I win the prize pack??????
My only beef is that the rate it suggested was an insider tour egypt rate, so I had to go find my sign-in and password to even see the rate. I think that would be a pain if I hadn t signed up yet. Otherwise, it looks great. Thanks for the contest.
tour egypt Sounds like a great idea, but will their search be for daily rates or all in pricing? I actually do buy some products from auto rental companies (e.g., personal liability insurance for example because I do not own a car; pre-paid refill when their prices are cheaper than local gas stations, etc.) and would expect their searches to adapt to these preferences.
I love it! Prices for an SAT minivan are still at $301-$650 with EVERY other website for rental within the next two weeks. I searched tour egypt with the new Alamo Deal Retriever and am renting tour egypt for $221 and Alamo let me use a coupon code I had, too! Just searched again before this post and no other car company, portal or website is offering me to save $100 or more. Thanks so much Alamo! We will use the savings to visit the Rodeo in SAT!
Highly skeptical. They have every incentive to make you think you re getting the best deal, while also having no incentive to actually give you best deal (because tour egypt a dollar saved to customer is a dollar lost to Alamo). So i d bet this is more marketing gimmickry than revolutionary deal-finding functionality.
I tired it for our upcoming trip to England in 2 weeks. It didn t find any better deal than what I had already booked with Alamo, but I did see it search for lots of coupons and discounts. I will try it again for our spring break trip.
I am renting an Alamo car right now during a Florida trip and have used the newly designed website and deal retriever recently to check for any cheaper rates for my present car rental. I always book a car rental I can live with early on in my trip planning then check for better rates as my trip approaches. I DID in fact find better rates thru Alamo s new site rebooked. One thing I noticed though was that I had trouble adding a coupon code to my reservation which could have brought tour egypt the price down more. I don t know if I had trouble with my coupon code because of a systems problem or because it was so close to my date of travel. Nonetheless I have been pleased tour egypt with my recent Alamo rental rates! Thanks MP for the chance to participate in this alamo giveaway!
I use Alamo 80 90% of the time. The Alamo Deal Retriever is a strong addition to my tools for finding a good rate. Thank you for sharing. I don t have a UR card, yet. So, this helps, even with my current travel plans.
AutoSlash will automatically look and rebook but having tour egypt the ability to get all codes/coupons upfront is the way to go. I think Alamo has learnt tour egypt from Dell who until now used to have so many coupons that it was impossible to tell what s the best deal out there. Way togo
It´s awesome. Sometimes, you just miss a discount because you forget to use the promo code or smth like that. With deal retriver you can rest assured. An improvement could b be to use ones frequent flyer or guest numbers in the profile to look for further discounts.
tour egypt It sounds great I m definitely going to try this the next time I am shopping for a rental car probably for our trip to Arizona this summer. Have a little tour egypt one at home, so a portable DVD player would be great.
I just tried to do a search for an upcoming rental I have and it didn t really pull up anything useful. It s last minute, though, so it might work better for further out dates. Definitely a good idea, might need a little work on the execution front.
it sounds like a nice idea, but the problem for the customer is integrity. Does the site provide transparent information on deals and is the system Alamo uses even the best when sifting through all the deals. One thing that we tend to find with a lot of company sites is that they re specifically not meant to be sophisticated tour egypt or a great search engine. Unimpartial third party deal vendors offer much better search options b/c that is their selling point.
Looks nice and works well on an iPad. It did not give any indication that it had scoured the internet and coupons looking for the best rate, though. It was ot clear where I would even enter rates such as AAA or my FF number. It is more of a trust us app, where I would like comparison information on exactly why this is so good. I did try it out for an upcoming tour egypt booking at DTW. Thanks!
I like the deal retriever. I like the artwork even more. Good job all around. I feel the deal retriever should be part of the normal reservation process, in addition to being a separate tab/page. If the deals are presented on top, or on a page before going to the results page, the customer could always skip the step in booking their reservation if they feel like they know what
