We only go next April but I wanted to make sure the 'Skip the Counter' thing worked if you book via a 3rd party.

We go in 3 weeks I just wondered if I should do the online check in yet

You may as well.

Have you booked direct with Alamo/Brits or 3rd party?

[Mr Tom Morrow]

Technically you could book a car for a year ahead and do online check in now.
I tend to do it about 3 weeks before pick up but others do it Months in advance.

I've booked with Alamo Brits x

They were more expensive for my dates so I went with Auto Europe who were £70 cheaper!

Hi Alison - I booked my brothers car a couple of weeks ago with Alamo Brits, he arrives 23rd October. Immediate following making the booking I followed the link to do OLCI and then bypass the counter, so as Mr T said, you can do it today too Try this link - alamo/en_US/car-rental/checkin.html -

I'd have used Brits myself for our 2 day hire to drive from MCO to Pine Island, but all the suppliers except Budget seem to charge quite a bit extra (almost double) for a Cape Coral drop off/pick up vs Fort Myers airport... unfortunately Budget no longer have skip the counter availability for 'us foreigners' So, the desk it is.

Alison, have a smashing holiday - be good and don't do anything I wouldn't, some scope there girl

I booked Alamo with Auto Europe and pre-paid.

They sent me an Auto Europe voucher which had an Alamo reservation number on it, 10 digits long.

I've just gone onto Alamo.com and logged in with that number, all my dates and vehicle details came up correctly.

I then did OLCI.

After completing the OLCI I left the page open and then opened a new page in my browser.

I googled 'Alamo skip the counter'. IMPORTANT- make sure you select the address which has 'checkin/bypass' in it!

I clicked on this, the Alamo 'Skip the Counter' page then popped up with all my details on!

I just had to accept/decline the extras, add my credit card details and then Boom! printed out my 'skip the counter ticket' which tells me to 'skip the counter, skip the kiosk, go directly to your vehicle'
