Alamo - standard vs premium suv

Bellasmummy · 22 Apr 18, 10:07 AM

We’ve got a standard suv booked for the end of May, collecting from Miami.

Just checked and we can get a premium suv for Ł15 more.

Does that seem a good deal?

Is the premium likely to be much smaller?

There are 3 of us and luggage, probably 2 large and 1 medium suitcase plug hand luggage.

What example premium suv is it saying? Which site is this?

Premium suv should be suburban or similar but Alamo brits site had premium suv as x3 or similar the other day. I booked hoping it was the x3 that was wrong. But rental paperwork now shows a premium elite, elite being the more expensive class. Plan to self downgrade.

Same as me then. When you do OLCI it will show as premium elite.
Over the phone they said I could take a premium suv instead if available but not the same as the garage staff telling me that.

Premium elite isn’t even showing on the price list. What kind of car is that likely to be?

This is the list Alamo gave me.
Cadillac SRX
Lincoln MKX
BMW X3
Infiniti FX37/QX70
Volkswagen Touareg
Mercedes Benz GLK
Volvo XC60

Don't get me wrong they are nice. But I would prefer a Tahoe / Suburban or similar.

We have had the Lincoln MKX. Nice car, big as well.

Seems good for Ł15 extra to me, will get dh to take a look as he’s the driver.
