Alamo skip the counter

Hi,
I have booked Alamo via Discount Florida Car Hire and have checked in online got my email and check in confirmation, now I can not see anyway to skip the counter. Is this because I have not booked direct with Alamo?
If it is possible is there a link anywhere?
Thanks Peter

You only need the barcode on your online check-in.

Hi Peter, yes, to add your credit card details do Skip as follows. Sign back into Alamo and simply click to OLCI again, it'll open your completed page. Minimise that page, do not close it, then click on THIS link which will take you to Skip showing all your details, complete cc and you're all done. Many don't bother with Skip as the bar code you need to head to the garage is on the OLCI paperwork. My bro asks me to do OLCI and Skip (I'm faster!) and sis in law prefers to enter her cc details as she need only present her confirmation paperwork/dl at the OUT kiosks.

Hi,
I have the form with the bar code, Are the self service kiosks located in the garage?
Then at that point I add my credit card detail. I thought you could do this online as well.
Thanks Peter.

Thank you for your link and advice, I now have a online checking confirmation form and skip the counter confirmation form both with bar codes.
Thanks Peter

ChrisS has described the process of adding your CC to the STC process but we only ever print out the bar code from the OLCI page. Doing OLCI simply allows you to STC.

Assume that you're into MCO? If so you can go to either garage A or B. Find your row and up to full size the keys are in the cars. Pick a car and drive to the barrier - show them your bar code, D/L and CC (or compliant debit card) and off you go. You don't need to go anywhere near a self service kiosk. The card they swipe at the barrier is the one they charge anything to as it doesn't matter how you paid for the car hire.

We always go to garage B for two reasons. It's the nearest to gates 70-99 where all UK flights land and when you leave the garage you're very near to 417 south when our car goes on to auto-pilot

Gadgey Mick, you reminded me, ta! Peter, look HERE, MCO is an egg shape, car hire exit mid egg! Per Gadgey Mick, heading out of MCO; garage A exits to the East side of the airport, circa three-quarters of a mile from the 528, whilst garage B exits onto the West side, it's then straight towards the 417, no need to circumnavigate half the airport loop

We oft fly into MCO and drive south to Bokeelia, it sounds daft to some, but by using B garage we're on the correct side of the [egg!] airport,

I was given the above info years ago by Sue, ILiveHereOrlando, who sadly passed, I like to share the info she readily gave
