Hi
Slightly confused, a sign of getting old, how do they know the cars registration when you print the agreement of at the kiosk? don’t they then print the actual agreement with this info at the gate? If so it would still be possible to add sneaky extras.

They dont add anything at the barrier, the lady just scanned the barcode on my vehicle and checked my agreement I had printed out at the kiosk, she asked to check my licence then sent me on my way, this was last sunday morning.

Hi
Very interesting your rental agreement doesn’t show what class of vehicle or the license plate # then. I always thought you had to keep the rental agreement in the vehicle for law enforcement purposes, seems a bit pointless if it doesn’t show the vehicle details.

Just checked my agreement in the car it, shows all charges at zero and I have another little ticket which the lady at the barrier gave me ( apologies I forgot about this ) with the car details and mileage, the self service kiosk works for me it might not work for everyone, but it is advertised by alamo as an alternative to going to the desk.

Just out of interest is this your experience at SFB? I've never seen self-service kiosks at MCO but maybe I'm always in too much of a rush to get the full size row.

Hi
Good suggestion using the kiosks especially for anyone wanting to ensure the agreement shows $zero without the pressure of doing it at the gate.

Hi Mick
Think they may at the Alamo desks in the terminal, if they’re still there, but others have commented in the past that they’re not alway operational.

Me neither Mick but various threads say they exist, not that I could confirm that. You’ll be able to check when you pick up your VTP.😆

If I'm not on auto-pilot going through the first toll on 417 within 10 minutes of getting to the VTP desk there'll be serious trouble.
