Which garage Alamo with Virgin - A or B side?

Hi all
Apologies I am sure this has been asked and answered but I cant find it! I have a car booked with Alamo through Virgin, I have completed OLCI/ skip the counter.
Which garage do I go to - A or B side?
Thanks
Julie

Hi Julie - if you're heading north to the 528 go to A, if south for the 417 head to B, that way you'll exit Alamo's garage on the airport side closest to your route vs looping around Jeff Fuqua Blvd - both A&B will have rows of the vehicle you're hired.

ILiveHereOrlando, who sadly died Aug 2017, gave me that handy tip in 2015.

Just to add those who have a car with Virgin as part of a holiday package need to go to the A side as that's where the VH 'hut' is located in the garage.
There you get documents etc. Plus they give you free bottles of water!

But for a stand alone car hire through VA or VH you don't have to go to their hut. I have done a VA hire many times and never bother the VH staff.

Hi Mr Tom
I assume my fly drive is classed as a holiday package?

Yes it is but I fail to actually see what they can give you as a regular visitor that you don't already know.

Unless there is maybe a gift card or something I would just head straight for the car.

But I have heard that some who go to the 'Pit Stop' hut have been given free car upgrades though. Maybe worth a 5 min pop in as we all love a freebie.

Unless you are me! I always do the Beachline as it's cheaper and the way I go to avoid the I4 is always moving.

However your advice is correct.
