Alamo huge price increase

Luckily I booked our suv last week but people said keep checking back as there is no cancelation fee and if you see a better deal you can rebook. well our standard SUV has gone up today from £316 for two weeks to £462

Not sure if this is across all times of year, I think i should stop checking now as it seems we got a really good price.

Ours has increased by about £70 as well. We booked with Alamo Brits, 3 weeks for end of September 2017 for about £470 for a standard SUV, now showing as £551! Glad we booked early.

As flights car hire price's bounce around.
Of course always currency factors to weight in as well as the supply and demand law of economics.
As posted book a free cancellation one and best of world's.
Book at what you think is good/happy to pay and keep checking.
Always a shame flights are not same how many of us have booked incorrectly,and don't give me never look again as it isn't a learning tool for future trips.
Enjoy.

My 4 week Summer 17 booking £692.19. Now £803.37

Autumn 3 week booking £473.48. Now £551.63

Supply and demand and also a poor exchange rate.

My convertible has gone up £75 as well. To my knowledge there hasn't been a run on currency.
Perhaps a ploy to raise the prices before christmas so they can offer a "sale" after christmas?

What a cynic you are! Probably spot on as well!
