To use the Alamo check in, you have to leave it for a day or two after you've booked on Virgin to allow them to update the Alamo systems with the booking info. If you booked over the Christmas period, it will obviously take longer. My understanding is that Virgin email a spreadsheet with the bookings on each night and that gets updated onto the Alamo systems by 2:00pm the next day. This may sound like a joke, but as far as I know this is still their current practice.

Can I just ask, how far in advance do you do the online check in and skip the counter process?

I don't think I've got my full booking reference yet, still need to pay balance for it.

Hi, we go to Florida next week. Booked with Virgin Holidays flydrive and completed all the forms for Alamo. We haven't been to Florida for 10 years as my husband has been very ill and we are very out of date with things. Do you still pay for the tolls, and do you have to have coins or can you have the option to have it charged to your credit card? We gave Alamo our credit card details so is that to cover things like the tolls etc?

You have the option to do either. Use the cash lanes all the time if you prefer. Most are manned but those on the exit ramps generally aren't so keep a stash of quarters in the car. The first one you hit after either MCO or SFB will be manned so you have no need to worry about getting change at the airport.
If you prefer use the Sunpass lane and you will automatically trigger the Sunpass. Your CC will be charged for the tolls plus an Alamo admin charge. Absolutely no right or wrong. Slow down for 30 seconds and pay cash or drive through and pay a bit more. Mick

I booked the car on the 15th October and did skip the counter on the 22nd. I used the Virgin booking number on the Virgin/Alamo HERE is the link.
