Virgin garage side A or B using Alamo

colquhoun · 22 Feb 18, 11:08 PM

Last year I flew with Thomas cook and used garage on side b but which garage is virgin on and which has best choice of cars .

Both garages are identical and in theory should have the same choice and number of cars.

Virgin always recommends side A as that's where their staff are based for Virgin Holidays and Flydrives.
If on either of the above you need to go to the Virgin Hut in side A. But if it's a straight hire only you can do as you wish but I always use side A out of habit.

We will be flying to MIA (virgin Atlantic through virgin holidays) so will be landing at MCO on a domestic flight. We have a car booked through Alamo and I have done the skip the counter paperwork

Tom does this make any difference to where I collect the car from ? I guess not

Thank you

BB. If the car is part of a Virgin Holiday package they will be expecting you on the A side. They give you maps and other bumf and try to get you to attend their morning meeting - deep joy!

If it's just a normal Alamo hire you can collect it from either side.

Lets be honest even if it's a VH car as part of a package you can still do as you wish but VH do provide a good service for those new to the process.
