Alamo 7 seater question...

Hi All

We're off in April and are hiring an Alamo 7 seater minivan for the first time.
Does anybody have any info on what makes and models are in this category? Any good ones or ones to avoid?

Also, what is the method of telling which are the newer vehicles? I'm assuming there's a code of some sort on the number plates, but which bit determines the year of manufacture?

You have to be quick when you skip that counter!

Thanks!

We have always had a dodge grand caravan, never seen any other options. We like the grand caravan though, we're a family of 6 and there's plenty of room for us and bags!

I wouldn’t worry about the age, as Alamo will move on most vehicles before they are a year old.
However you can roughly tell by a stick on tag on the number plate


This was on the Traverse we had in 2017. Out of state plate...looks like a three year tag

Best way is to switch on the cars and check the mileage ...lower the better of course.

The Town and County is good, but better in my opinion if there is one is a Chrysler Pacifica
