We use Alamo Brits everytime and only ever take the document you are referring too (we never do the skip the counter bit, just online check-in) - we always go straight to the car and never to the desk. Never had a problem

Urghh, I hate the 'what car' when we get to the garage, we have actually packed our luggage in the boot when DH decides he dont like it for whatever reason and we have to unload and onto the next 'nice looking car', mind you we only ever book an economy mainly because over the years we have learned that they never have any to choose from and get told to take from the mid size line

Mick I never take a genuine response as patronising, just helpful thanks

Just out of interest this is what we get from Andy at DFCH together with the actual Alamo voucher.


alamo/en_US/car-rental/checkin.html

I guess the same as you (Virgin is slightly different) you've had the Alamo number which around 2/3 months ago was 140xxxxxxx. Enter in the form then answer a few questions about D/L and flight and I'm sure there's a button saying "print OLCI" or similar.

Straight to garage B where the car goes on auto-pilot to 417 south. Always happy with a full size car even though just the two of us.

Have a great time.

Mick

I didn't open the link as norton didn't like it

Yeah our Alamo number is 141XXXXXXXXX, which would be about right for a booking last week.

We also auto-pilot, but to the 528 north exit (and only one toll booth) and straight onto the I4 to Davenport.

417 south to 192 or Osceola for us to Highgate Park Three tolls but only around $4 total. Same villa 13 times - guess we like it

We went through exactly the same as you a few weeks ago - found a great price on AE, booked it and then found I could not STC. I saw the suggestion to keep the window open and google Skip the Counter and after countless tries, finally got the STC barcode. Now I feel silly for worrying, having now read all the reassurances on here, but at least I won't panic in future :-)
Have a fab trip!

No, I'm not going to worry anymore, I just like to streamline things as much as possible, I'm glad I'm not the only one who had a problem
