The funny thing with skip the counter is that since lots of people started using it the counter is actually not so bad. It's much faster / quieter, there might be a bit of low pressure upselling on insurance but nothing like my experiences from 15-20 years ago.
I would choose STC but going to the desk really doesn't bother me in the way it used to.

Sorry for asking the most most basic questions regarding car hire but I have never driven in the US.
When I look at car hire, they all seem to be automatics, is it possible to get a manual transmission? |

Last November was the 38th time I've hired a car in Florida and never driven either a manual or a diesel car (or been offered one).
If it helps there's an excellent DIBB guide to driving in Florida on here. I say "excellent" as I've added to it a few times over the years. I'll link it if you want. If you want to "chat" any more about driving it might be best starting a new thread as this one is specifically for experiences of skipping the counter with Alamo and other stuff might get lost. Mick

Hello, I’ve managed to do the Accelerated Check in and then tried Skip the Counter but it’s saying it’s not possible.
Am I missing something? The Alamo website says I just print off the agreement at a self service terminal. Is this the case or can I whizz through to the garage? Sorry if this has previously been covered but don’t fancy reading 67 pages of thread. Edited at 07:27 PM. |

They will all be autos. Mind you with an eight speed auto with paddle shift on some of the higher end cars, they will get a move on.
If not used to an auto, just pull your left foot back beside the seat and use right foot only. It’s as simple as press the accelerator for go and the brake for stop. Until you are used to it hold it at the lights or whenever you need to stop, on the brake, then just move to the go pedal to start off. It will also not roll back on a hill start, but hold its position. Finally never use your left foot to brake, you will strangle everyone with the seatbelts as it violently brakes. I used to be all for manual gears in a car, now I’ll never choose a manual. All my cars over the past 10 to 12 years have been autos. |
