Dollar or Alamo? Sunpass question really...

Cannavar · 19 Aug 16, 11:57 AM

I've used Dollar/Thrifty and Alamo a few times so I know them both well and simply down to the much better and cheaper payment method for tolls I would normally go with Alamo. But Dollar is coming in �90 cheaper for our trip at Christmas.

I think I know the answer really so dont know why I'm asking but since we are mainly onsite at both Disney and Universal and not heading out much its worth stopping and paying the cash tolls on the way from the airport and book with Dollar than it is choosing to pay more for Alamo just so i dont have to worry about stopping at the tolls?

I just like to make things easy though lol

Alamo will cost you a couple of quids others a few more quids if other is cheaper pay cash,which I assumed you were just looking for confirmation on.
Enjoy.

OP. �90 is a fair bit of cash. I would go for the cheaper deal and make sure you don't get allocated a dog.

So here's the thing.

We pay up front and we arrive at the car rental desk.
If they try to give you a car you find unacceptable you don't take it away.
You tell them you didn't hire a crap car etc an they either give you a decent car or you will use another company and sue them for your time etc
Say Ten million. That usually makes them pay attention..

Dollar have always allowed us to choose from a row? The only dog we've ever had was Alamo 3 Christmases ago. All that was left were Captivas and they didnt even have remote central locking.

Regarding SunPass and Dollar.
We picked our cars up at MCO yesterday and the lady spent some time trying to sell us everything as an extra - each time to be met with "it's all included, please reread the booking".

However we are returning via MIA and she was saying that tolls there are cashless and we will get state fines if we don't have SunPass. We declined as I'm sure we've seen on here that you can get from Orlando to MIA without tolls - is this correct or should we try to add the SunPass now?
