The US site usually doesn't include insurance
Unfortunately prices go up but I don't get the loyalty some people show any company. Go with the best deal you can get, every time.

No, this isn't my experience at all - I've booked our last 2 car rentals from Budget SFB via Expedia UK with Quidco cashback.
The cancellation was exactly as normal (QUOTE from Expedia confirmation: cancellations can be made free up to and including the day prior to your pickup date and your payment will be refunded in full.) It's important people know the facts here

After seeing prices go up and up on Alamo Brits, I've just checked and they've dropped a fair bit - I've just booked a standard SUV for less than the intermediate I'd originally booked.

The US site usually doesn't include the full insurance. Did you check the price had SLI etc.?

Book it and cancel / rebook if the price comes down again.
You can't compare UK / USA Alamo prices as they aren't like for like.

Yes, it is. But you were not just talking about Exedia, but lots of search engines. Some allow cancellation, some do not. It is important to point out that those that allow cancellation give advantages, those who do not may cost you more.
The point is that you need to know what options you have when you use a search engine. The site may be cheaper, but end up more expensive if no cost cancellation is not allowed later, when the price drops. Great that expedia allowed no penalty cancel, but you mentioned search engines, where the vendor may not allow this. This was the point of my post and the fact you obviosuly overlooked. Free cancellation is key. Otherwise if I book a 7 seater vsan today at 1400 and tomorroow it goes down to 600, or i find it cheaper elsewhere I will lose a deposit, if i csannot change.

Yes you can do OLCI and skip the counter with any Alamo supplier be it direct or 3rd party. As an aside Virgin have a dedicated link thats the easiest of the lot.
